When you put cops in schools, cops act like cops. Six reported instances of pepper spray or bodily force on students in Milwaukee last year — for things like smoking or not handing over an iPad. No accountability, no oversight — no transparency! milwaukeenns.org/2025/11/10/u...
6 incidents at MPS raise concerns that routine discipline is being treated as criminal activity
Half the incidents last school year began as school policy violations rather than criminal activity. All ended with force

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.

There would not have been enough space on the opinion pages of newspapers or segments on cable news to cover the amount of outrage that the media would have directed at Joe Biden if he did not know the standard duration of a home mortgage, but Trump? Crickets.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

The point of having a standards editor is that you bring in a skilled, disinterested person to read or watch a story and point out possible bias, errors and lapses.
The actual story editors can miss those things because they're so closely tied to the production and reporting of the piece.
