Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen — the guys who created Axios and Politico — look back on 20 years of their own disruption of political news. www.axios.com/2026/01/13/p...

People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.

Last year saw:

The lowest murder rate per capita since records began

The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century

One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

Highly recommend @mjtoma.bsky.social's latest, which tries to locate the place where the New York Times has been weak, while establishing at the outset that it has also been strong ("...the scoops division of the paper is working more or less as it should.") newrepublic.com/article/1987...
