    The gospel according to Andy Beshear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Andy Beshear has a favorite song: “Universal Sound” by Tyler Childers, a country music artist with a special place in the Kentucky governor’s heart. That title is something of a metaphor, about connecting to a deep, abiding spirituality accessible to us all. It’s meant to be an ecumenical message — just like the one Beshear hopes to deliver. “Universal Sound” carried him through a “nasty” reelection campaign in 2023, which ended with a comfortable victory over his GOP opponent, state Attorney Ge

    Trump can't trick Americans into loving him (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Donald Trump has never been one for subtlety, so it follows that his taxpayer-funded “public service announcement” instructing Americans to love him would literally feature a gospel choir singing the words “Love Me.” Along with many of his closest allies, the president is a fan of pseudo-science, so perhaps he believes the repetition will have a hypnotic effect on viewers, reversing through pop psychology trickery the free-fall that has beset his approval ratings.

    Don Jr. had a big wedding. Reporters started following the money - Salon.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This may have been the week that the Trump family’s sprawling and brazen corruption finally broke out of containment, with the level of American kleptocracy in such sharp focus this week that Republicans’ efforts to not-see it required significant effort. All this kicked off on Monday with two stories that landed within hours of each other, one in The New Yorker and another from ProPublica.
