Must watch: a short but great interview with Ira Shapiro, co-editor of the new non-partisan book "Betrayed", a joint project by experts in many fields to catalog the damage caused by the Trump presidency.

One key job of the media is to tell truth to power. Not just journalists, but interviewers, comedians, artists and others. Stephen Colbert did that. This cancellation is political. It’s part of Paramount’s capitulation to Trump. My appetite for CBS and Paramount+ programming is now near zero.

23 years ago today, I made my best hiring decision ever and brought on Katie Boehret as my reporting assistant at The Wall Street Journal. She soon had her own tech column in the Journal, alongside mine. She also was on the original teams at the D & Code conferences and remains a close friends.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Here’s the Minuteman statue in Lexington, MA, where the first shots were fired in the American Revolution 250 years ago this weekend. I urge all who can to visit the sacred ground of the national park that includes the initial battles.

APOLLO: “It normally takes 18 months on average for the US to negotiate a trade deal. .. While markets wait for trade negotiations with 90 countries at the same time, global trade is grinding to a standstill .. if current policies do not change, then the probability of a US recession in 2025 is 90%”

Today is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride from Boston. Along with others, he was dispatched to warn the patriots at Lexington and Concord that the British were coming to arrest their leaders. Today, we need millions of Paul Reveres to arouse our country to the threats to our freedoms.

I’ll never believe the attack on Gov. Shapiro was anything other than antisemitism. Not Gaza, not Israel, but sheer hatred of Jews @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is absolutely right.

Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · last yr.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

@mike.flipboard.social.ap.brid.gy has always been a true innovator in tech and is a great guy to boot. This @nytimes.com story is a good read about his latest innovation, a decentralized browser called Surf. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/t...

If you’re not watching “Ludwig“ on BritBox, you’re missing some great TV. It’s the saga of twin brothers, one a crossword constructor, and the other a police detective. It has strong similarities to Sherlock Holmes and Monk. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/a...

This Charming British Detective Show Is an Escape From Uncertain Times

“Ludwig,” streaming on BritBox, stars David Mitchell as a reclusive puzzle setter who solves mysteries. And then the world makes sense again.

@aoc.bsky.social: "Every time you see Tom Homan, every time you see Kristi Noem... understand that they are taking attention, focus, dollars, and real resources away from actual drug enforcement, trafficking enforcement, and actually going after and trying to investigate really harmful activity."
