"Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior VP at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store in Falls Church, Va." nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/…
A heartbreaking day for Dan's family and those of us lucky enough to work with him. He was brilliant, an uproariously funny deskmate, a superb editor and reporter and maybe a wee bit manic. He had everyone's back. Blessings on him; he left too young. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202…
This is exactly right. It's as though so much of legacy media lives in a different universe -- obsessed with parlor games and intrigue and drama. Working class families need solutions, and he's right that Americans are tired of high school gossip pablum that legacy media continues to push. "I know you're trying to get me to answer the previous question again. But I have to be honest with you: I think that New Yorkers are tired of politicians ponitificating about other politicians. What they want to see are results, and that's why my focus has been more on potholes than on politics." -- Mayor Zohran Mamdani
I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.
lol. That makes no sense at all. Things can change, especially when you have been the party in charge for many years
