- I love the 51st! And I'd love for them to hire some of the fantastic Post reporters and editors who are now out of a job. Consider subscribing!
- 6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup
- While tech can certainly help deliver services, this is cuckoo--and yet Trump officials keep saying things like it. When she's sick, your mom wants to see a doctor, not an AI avatar--just like when your grandma has a problem with her Social Security, she wants to talk to a person, not an AI bot.
- Here's how it's going with the AI bots on Social Security's help line, btw: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...
- As a former Mitchell Scholar, I fully support the decision of the US-Ireland Alliance to remove the name of Senator George Mitchell from the scholarship program, following the revelations in the latest batch of the Epstein files. us-irelandalliance.org/mitchellscho...
- The allegations against Senator Mitchell contained in the files are very disturbing, as is the fact that he continued his close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein for years after his conviction for child sexual abuse. www.rte.ie/news/2026/02...
- I'll always be grateful for the way my experience as a (former) Mitchell Scholar opened up a new world of possibilities for me. Abusing girls and young women does exactly the opposite, robbing them of their futures. Every abuser in those files should face consequences for the harm they've done.
