I have questions. Looking forward to future independent reporting that can further explain why Colorado Public Radio was the only state that joined @npr.org NPR in this suit. Were other stations invited to join and declined? Not invited? Why? www.npr.org/2025/05/27/n...

Here’s my periodic reminder, news media, that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes in 2016. It’s your responsibility to provide that critical context.

Otherwise important reporting, tell me you're an East coast elitist writing about the Midwest w/out saying your an elitist:

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported."

Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Thanks @governorwalz.mn.gov for supporting local news and student journalism. Great to see you with some of our outstanding University of Minnesota Duluth students. #UMDProud
It was an honor to join the Minnesota Newspaper Association Convention and speak about the importance of local news.

We're lucky to have a paper in all 87 counties. They make sure every community in Minnesota is informed, connected, and well-served.

I imagine many in #Duluth MN waking up happy to see even more snow fell overnight. It's the first thing that's felt normal in a while.

When I was a teacher, my students and I always took time this month to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought against injustice to achieve equal rights.

May we all reflect on our past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

It’s feeling less hyperbolic to say if CBS News does collapse, that’s the beginning of the end. Paramount will get its merger with Skydance. Our 19th century model of ad-supported news & power consolidation has caught up to gut the Fourth Estate in the 21st century.
Corrupt. Violation of the 1st Amendment (why broadcast content shouldn't have fallen under FCC control). EVERY news organization should scream murder. They won't.
