A typo I can get behind

I appreciate a solid Kara Swisher screed. I don’t think the @mprnews.org host/producer quite knew what they were getting themselves into this evening. Nor were they ready w/ the 7 second delay. 😂

She should have been president.

Thanks 4 sharing your experience. No Canvas access at my university either. My college IT sent a note after I inquired this morning, but my institution has issues no statements about problem (at least w/ faculty). Reading replies here--
glad to see other institutions don't rely on AWS.

NPR and Colorado public radio stations sue Trump White House NPR and three Colorado public radio stations are suing the Trump administration over the president's executive order seeking to ban the use of federal money for NPR and PBS.

I have questions. Looking forward to future independent reporting that can further explain why Colorado Public Radio was the only state that joined @npr.org NPR in this suit. Were other stations invited to join and declined? Not invited? Why? www.npr.org/2025/05/27/n...

Here’s my periodic reminder, news media, that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes in 2016. It’s your responsibility to provide that critical context.

Big Ten university faculties push for defense compact against Trump The proposed NATO-like alliance for the 18 schools would allow them to share resources in case the president targets one of their members.

Otherwise important reporting, tell me you're an East coast elitist writing about the Midwest w/out saying your an elitist:

"It represents land-grant universities in the Midwest — and corn-fed athletics programs — that are central to each state’s identity."

Maine Governor, Staring Down Trump, Says She Is Unfazed by ‘Loud Men’ (Gift Article) Observers of her political rise — and some who have sparred with her — say Gov. Janet Mills’s refusal to bow to President Trump is right in character.

Target predicts slow-growth year as consumer stress intensifies Minneapolis-based retailer sees modest sales growth driven by digital gains in holiday quarter, but has begun to double down on fundamentals to increase loyalty and draw more customers.

How can reporting about Target’s financial troubles omit *any mention* of the customer backlash they are receiving over ending DEI? Seems to be written entirely from a press release. www.startribune.com/target-in-st...

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
