It's tragic and infuriating to see Trump and Musk going after the IMLS.

In rural states like Maine, the role IMLS plays is incredibly important—from enabling the latest technology and securing reliable broadband access, to supporting employee training and services for people with disabilities.

Mainstream newspapers should consider taking all of their coverage of the federal government out from behind a paywall, because this is an emergency, and many people seem to think this is normal cost-cutting. What good is the real reporting if it's not reaching people?

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the December 19, 1942 cover of The New Yorker, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions. Gas and tire rationing had begun that year. #bikesky
