After a Philly cyclist was shot and paralyzed, I knew – from years of covering shooting survivors with lifelong injuries – that a tough road lie ahead. And yet, he and his daughter are finding ways to soar above the tragedy. Hope you’ll read this one. inquirer.com/opinion/philad…

1. I wrote this morning in my column I was an 'agnostic' about Biden dropping out. I said wait for the polls! But then the more (white male, mostly) pundits commanded Biden out, the more I was against it. This NYT editorial is the last straw nytimes.com/2024/06/28/opi…

ā€œTo build himself up, Trump constantly tears the country down. There is no shining city on the hill. It’s just mourning in America.ā€- The Philadelphia Inquirer inquirer.com/opinion/editor…

The new Big Lie just dropped Project 2025 was supposed to be a dog whistle for far-right fans of dictatorship. Now normal voters are pissed off, and even Trump can't fib his way out of it My column on the ONLY political story that matters right now šŸŽ inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

Courts declared two men mentally incompetent to stand trial. They were incarcerated in Norristown State Hospital, where they shared a room. What follows is murder, lies by staff, and so much failure by the system. Aubrey Whelan and Sarah Gantz report. inquirer.com/health/norrist…

I wrote about Michelle Obama, the MSG rally, men, women, dehumanization, beta males, menopausal women, Gaza, and the terrible, old core of what we're fighting about as we come to the end: who's a full person? nymag.com/intelligencer/…
