Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

This analysis of PA Gov Josh Shapiro's cave on climate change is the most Axios thing ever
![Between the lines: Muhlenberg College political scientist Christopher Borick called RGGI membership an "uncomfortable political fit for Shapiro," whose state is a huge gas producer.
Shapiro's been seeking alternatives that defuse claims he's hurting the state's economy, but that don't alienate him from Democrats and progressives, he said.
"I think the budget crisis may have given Shapiro an out on RGGI that makes both his reelection in 2026 and a possible presidential run less encumbered by this particular matter," Borick, who heads the school's Institute of Public Opinion, said via email.
The intrigue: The decision was about solving a budget impasse, not 2028 politics, Penn State Harrisburg political scientist Daniel Mallinson said.
It made sense for Shapiro, who was never a fan anyway.
"There is also good political cover at the moment due to consumers [who are] already feeling the effects of inflation across the economy," he said in an email.
The bottom line: "The political trick down the road, however, will be how to explain this to the progressive wing of the party in a presidential primary," he said, "but I would expect Shapiro to run more in the moderate lane so it won't hurt him there."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p5yoii26kayabauhkym3vtms/bafkreibz2n62z65slvbahwcz7c3sxlvyk2nvkdymgjbpt6ilnwr2anwlxm@jpeg)

New Yorkers Fill Gun Classes as Concealed Carry Applications Surge
Would-be gun owners seeking a concealed carry permit are required to take a safety training course, but with few rules on how they are taught, gun aficionados have stepped in to run them.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks.
So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

Every day, as a Jew, I am going to call the ADL's tip line to report Mamdani anti-Semitism with at least three seismically moronic insights. I will begin with an accusation that the new mayor prefers strawberry and blueberry bagels to savory, and sometimes schmears butter.

I once again look forward to the amended captions that will now come from Virginia’s withdrawal from a whole spate of MAGA briefs and lawsuits.
Just watched Virginia AG Jason Miyares' concession speech and it is astounding to hear him claim he made Virginia safer when he actively tried to make mass shootings worse.
He battled even modest restrictions on "pistol braces"—a device that helps you shoot more people with an AR-15 faster.

Dick Cheney got George W. Bush to break his promise to regulate carbon emissions, and began turning climate into a strictly partisan issue. He was always loyal to fossil fuels and that’s a huge part of his legacy.

Anyone following Carlson closely would know he basically shares all of Fuentes’s positions but has been adept at coding them.
This was particularly revealed during Kanye-gate, when his team purposefully edited out the overt antisemitism and kept the coded version.

There isn’t really a gap between Fuentes and MAGA. It’s like the Klan and the White Citizen’s Councils. They are part of the same white supremacist movement and largely disagree over tactics.
