Ernest Hemingway once said:
In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.

lede = introductory section in journalism

bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information

Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

I’m so grateful to have watched Tristan Harris speak to John about AI. Although, absolutely horrified as well. This is such a vital discussion to be having everywhere and with everyone. 🙏

As I think about Biden having a bad TV night and the press hounded him out of the race, but Trump can use an actual fake photograph to deploy the military to an american city in the middle of violent ICE crackdowns everywhere and the press is like “in bold new move, trump expands law enforcement”

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Jake Tapper of all "reporters" thinks a President who does an interview via text messages doesn't need a deeper & transparent evaluation of said President's mental acuity. No wonder I have no respect for him nor for CNN. +No wonder some citizens believe Trump is normal. Shame @jaketapper.bsky.social

Lawrence O'Donnell obliterating Jake Tapper for doing his interview w/ Trumpty via TEXT & NOT asking about Epstein is sooo deserving. Tapper is partly why we've been in hell for 10 months. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
