It would be extremely sad to see this symbol downgraded to "politically divisive."

What headline writers think: Putting "Here's What to Know" in a headline will get people to read this story.

What readers think: If I see "Here's What to Know" in a headline, I know I don't have to read that.

Now here's a cat yawning over yet another "Here's What to Know" headline.

Itself a cloud, although of misted rock
And mountains running like water, wave on wave"

It’s not surprising that the Republican Party’s leaders don’t seem to be taking the abuse allegations facing Florida congressman Cory Mills very seriously, our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes. He “embodies America’s ruling ethos: When you’re MAGA, they let you do it.”

Last day of #SeaFair performance by the #BlueAngels. How do planes stay in the air? Magic? CGI?

Strongly recommend new Netflix offering “Downfall”, on how McDonnell Douglas brass took over Boeing, cut corners, the resulting crashes, efforts to offload blame on pilots.Kudos to Oregon ex-Rep DeFazio as truth seeker.

Look for the Alaska whaling captain subsidy, inserted into the GOP tax cut scam to help buy Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s vote, to be a key talking point in attacks by Democrats and conservatives. It deserves all the criticism it will get.

What am I worried about?
-Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East
-cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration)
-Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs)
-Allied assistance (we’ll need that now)
-Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)
