The epic breakup of Trump and Musk’s White House bromance The Trump-Musk alliance collapses into mutual threats and recriminations.

My former @washingtonpost.com colleagues are 🔥🔥🔥. Their coverage of the Trump administration continues to be essential reading. In awe of their hustle every damn day.

Here’s how Trump + Musk’s billionaire bromance spectacularly imploded and collapsed into mutual public trolling.

The value of local journalism: Last year, a plan was afoot to build golf courses and pickleball courts in state parks. Florida residents loudly objected -- as they had a decade ago when a similar proposal was rejected. It was reporting from the @tampabaytimes.bsky.social that exposed the plan. (1/2)

Fast and Fatal In the movies, a police car careens through crowded city streets and mangled vehicles pile up, but the collateral damage is almost never mentioned. In real life, those chases have fatal consequences. ...

Incredible recognition for terrific people ( @susien.bsky.social! @jennifergollan.bsky.social!) who worked their asses off to reveal how police pursuits across the country are deadly and unregulated. Thank you @sidneyhillman.bsky.social! www.hillmanfoundation.org/hillman-priz...

Zuckerberg’s Meta considered sharing user data with China, whistleblower alleges Meta went to extreme lengths, including developing a censorship system, in a failed attempt to bring Facebook to millions of internet users in China, according to a whistleblower complaint.

Meta has become a vocal critic of Chinese influence on tech.

But that was only after the Chinese government rejected its offer to build a censored Facebook, hand over user data and shut down dissidents, a whistleblower says.

"Not what I expected from my first day on the job. But luckily for me, I was already writing about personal liberties all the time. I was writing about how couples’ abilities to plan their own families, and women’s abilities to control their own pregnancies, are essential personal liberties. How the right of women to move through the world without being harassed is a vital personal liberty, how the right of men to escape the confines of traditional masculinity, if they want to, is imperative."

Delightful from @monicahesse.bsky.social:

California is increasingly relying on for-profit psychiatric hospitals. The system is destroying lives California is embracing psychiatric hospitals again. Behind locked doors, a profit-driven system is destroying lives.

"Newsom’s administration has allowed many of the state’s for-profit facilities to provide woefully inadequate care, largely without consequence, while rewarding some with lucrative state contracts and new licenses to intervene in more frayed lives." www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

Ex-SF official Sheryl Davis got a portrait of herself from a nonprofit that was seeking a $270K contract from her.

She called it a “beautiful gift” in an Instagram post showing the art hanging in her city office.
