Police departments say they're facing a staffing crisis. A Bloomberg analysis shows many major city departments have just as many — or even more — officers as they did 15 years ago, when crime was much higher trib.al/18l9yf2

Pompeo was on the phone call where Trump signaled to Zelensky that he was withholding Javelins from Ukraine — which had been fighting a war with Russia since 2014 — unless Zelensky gave him political dirt on Hunter and Joe Biden.

I wrote about a website posing as a local news source reporting on the Ohio train derailment. In reality, the Lithuanian-based website is using "writers" with AI-generated faces to spread disinformation, often by plagiarizing content from other sites. open.substack.com/pub/weaponized…

Hey @NBCNews, why have you put quotes around clinical depression? Are you suggesting that's something unusual or questionable? You wouldn't say someone was being treated for "cancer" so why the quotes here?

@RonDeSantisFL DeSantis claimed that the shelves were empty because "they hadn't put the books out yet to begin with." That is a lie. The books were removed because teachers in Duval County were told to remove the books or risk violating Florida law firstcoastnews.com/article/news/e…

Several of the nation’s most prominent columnists have assured us the only reason why they’re so focused on leftwing “cancel culture” is because they are worried about a “free speech crisis.” Apparently, they aren’t quite as concerned about state censorship. It’s disqualifying.

Graeme Wood wants us to believe he is all about free speech – which is why he often rails against leftwing “cancel culture.” So, what does he offer on Florida’s authoritarian takeover of education: “a qualified defense” of Christopher Rufo, one of the key architects behind it.

We are very likely witnessing a full blown government-led coverup of an environmental disaster in Ohio. You cannot talk to residents near the train crash and come to any other conclusion in my opinion. I’m genuinely shocked reading and seeing what I am.
