I have a piece in The @nytopinion today about when men write women's history, they often get it wrong. Not always intentionally—but with consequences that last for generations. Mary Todd Lincoln is a clear example. She has been remembered as Abraham Lincoln's unstable, difficult wife for 160 years. That storyline was created almost entirely by men who had every reason to diminish her—biased biographers, political rivals, even physicians who labeled her grief as hysteria rather than recognizing it as the trauma it was. She helped put Lincoln in the White House, and he was grateful. When he won the 1860 election, he ran home and woke her up: "Mary, Mary—we are elected." History forgot the "we." 🔗Read it here: nytimes.com/2026/04/11/opi…

Sources: Star Michigan guard Trey McKenney has signed to return to the Wolverines, per me and @jeffborzello. He earned All Big Ten Freshman honors this season after arriving as a Top 20 recruit and McDonald’s All-American. He averaged 9.9 ppg on Michigan’s national title team.

And then there were four: North Dakota vs. Wisconsin, Michigan vs. Denver 🏒 The men's Frozen Four starts TODAY! 🥶
