Sources across sectors in climate and energy are unwilling to speak on the record about Trump.
“In my own experiences as a reporter, I’ve never found it this difficult to get people to speak with me,” writes @jeva.bsky.social of this current “crisis of democracy.”

No one wants to talk about Trump — at least not to a reporter.

A Philadelphia Story screened tonight in DC. There is plenty good to be said about this movie. I will focus on one thing: the dialogue.
Watching a movie like this will make you believe contemporary American English is a dying language.

Where is the New Yorker piece about the brotherly shove? I want a 5,000 word feature, interviews with Kelce, Hurts, Jeff Stoutland, Sirianni. The most successful play in football in the past 4 years, too little coverage. #GoBirds

Thoughts about the Dylan movie after a second watch:
This is a movie about the 60s and folk music history, but it's billed as a biopic to fill theaters. Dylan's rise mirrors, or maybe helps inspire, a swerve toward individualism in America.

SCOOP: One of D.C.'s leading news stations, WUSA9, quietly took down two stories about the health impact of gas stoves to allow one of their advertisers, Washington Gas, to comment.
One of the stories remained down for 6 days. The other is still down.

Birds' defense looking porous on these first two drives in LA. But the Eagles coaching staffs since Sirianni took over have been terrific at halftime adjustments. Makes them a queasy team to watch in the first half, but they win a lot of tight games late.
