Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s advice to Philly Mayor @cherelleparker.bsky.social:

“Do everything you can to build up the well of goodwill now. This crisis is different than COVID... It’s not enough to just be anti-Trump. Articulate a vision.”

"While some might be inclined to blame the opioid crisis, experts say the homeless population is actually growing because of the affordable housing crisis."

The folks at @51st.news do newsletters so well
Screenshot of a headline in bold red text reading, "House in no apparent rush to close D.C.'s $1.1 billion budget hole." Below is a photo of the U.S. Capitol building under a clear blue sky, credited to Ron Cogswell via Flickr. A caption underneath reads: "Reminder: The House is responsible for blowing that hole in the budget in the first place." At the bottom, a large red button with white text says: "They did vote on a bill about refrigerators so that’s cool I guess?"

This lede for an article about a robot designed for war performing a DJ set presents the reason journalists will not anytime soon be replaced by AI

“Nah, it really happened!” How do we know? “A reporter was there.”

Interesting new "news" site in Philadelphia: @phillyactivistnews.bsky.social. Not trying to hide anti-MAGA agenda, it's front and center. Kind of like @thebulwark.bsky.social

Not a fan of articles with no bylines though

No names on the site at all, so maybe it's fear of being targeted

Interesting to learn how the leaders at News Media Alliance rank US news pubs:
1) NYT
2) WSJ
3) Axios — but oops, they partnered with OpenAI
