The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

the biggest journalistic failure in U.S. history was the total institutional unwillingness to clearly communicate to the public that this guy operates at a third grade reading level and genuinely has no idea how anything works

This administration is hell bent on gutting the National weather service. I cannot even begin to tell you how bad this would be for the country.
National Weather Service employees were encouraged to take early retirements at an all-hands meeting Thursday. The union believes as many as 1,000 could leave in the coming months - out of a workforce of just over 4,000.

Many political observers believe that Democrats lost in 2024 in part because they allowed aging leaders to hang on for too long. But X-user @SenSchumer isn’t so sure.

Sorta pitch-perfect Bidenism: take a high-profile Trump stunt, turn it into bipartisan law in the name of national security, defend it to the hilt until queasily attempting to walk it back last minute, then let Trump reverse his original position in a way that is both popular and corrupt
A tick-tock on TikTok:
Trump started this in 2020.
Biden scrapped Trump’s EO and replaced it with a broader one.
The Biden admin helped Ds and Rs in Congress craft the current ban.
Biden endorsed the law last March as Trump flipped.
Biden signed it in April and defended at SCOTUS last week.

Tik tok is social media which means it’s powered by people connecting with each other, and tik tok fostered many communities. Dismissing it as a dumb dancing app tells me you’re deeply out of touch with the world (as well as a boring garden variety asshole)

The Wall Street Journal says there will be a splashy ICE operation in Chicago on Tuesday.
While the headline is lurid, the actual operation described in the piece (100-200 agents) seems not that unusual for ICE (google Operation Cross-check). Expect a PR blitz, though.

David Letterman experiences Vision Pro.
It's very short, so worth it, just for that reaction (at about 1:10 in). Priceless.
Apple should snag that tiny bit of footage and put it in an ad.
I think this thing has legs!
