Incredibly, red states keep finding new ways to fall behind while blue states route around the damage that comes from MAGA policies.

Just give Alexandra Petrie a Pulitzer already. "Florida is the first state to take the courageous step toward decluttering itself of excess children, but under the inexpert guidance of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., other states may follow."

Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children

The state’s elimination of vaccine mandates is a courageous first step toward decluttering itself of any excess kids.

This is a good take. Much better than Ryan's, which failed to truly understand the actual stakes.

Em dashes are cool

Amanda Mull @amandamull.bsky.social · Jun 12

The em dash supposedly being a “tell” for AI generated text does sort of give away the game on the enormous amount of work stolen from journalists and news organizations that these things were trained on

Andi Zeisler @andizeisler.bsky.social · Jun 12

For my first @salonnewsroom.bsky.social piece, I wrote about how freaks for the em dash (me, and possibly you) will not stand by and cede our precious punctuation to AI www.salon.com/2025/06/11/a...

Because "vouchers" aren’t intended to "cover" the cost. They subsidize private schools, allowing them to increase their tuition faster than the subsidies grow. This is what happened in other states. You need to call them subsidies, not vouchers. Vouchers sounds nice but it’s false.
