Journalists and media platforms would do well to shift to a different mode of covering musk and those courting him. So many news breaks hardly break thru clutter. Didn’t we learn this in trumps first term? This is important too
Delaware is worried that corporate exits would remove a major source of income from the state. So it's poised to pass a bill written by Elon Musk's lawyers that would weaken shareholder rights and likely give Musk a $55 billion payday. From @ryanlcooper.com:

Why Are Delaware Democrats Trying to Give Elon Musk $55 Billion?
There are more important things than the state’s corporate franchise fees.

Sassoon indicates she was ready to hit Eric Adams with an obstruction conspiracy charge "We have proposed a superseding indictment that would add an obstruction conspiracy count based on evidence that Adams destroyed and instructed others to destroy evidence and provide false information to the FBI"

Economists Know What Trump's Gender Order Will Bring
The president’s declaration on the “biological reality of sex” tilts the balance of economic power further away women. The data prove it.

Journalism has placed many markers of trust in institutional processes that are opaque to audiences, while creators try to embed the markers of trust directly in their interactions with audiences.
