13 year olds have been ripping their teachers behind their backs since the dawn of formal schooling. I could see this being a really interesting profile of a school with some obvious culture problems, but turning it into a fake trend piece on mean teens is an absolutely wild thing to do.

Seventh and eighth graders in Malvern, Pennsylvania, impersonating their teachers posted disparaging, lewd, racist and homophobic videos on TikTok. The incident is the first known mass attack of its kind by middle schoolers on their teachers in the U.S.

Reporters everywhere implore you to actually read more than the tweet that led you to the story

Then consider this: I am tired of reporters watering down a devastating assault on democracy by Republicans as a debatable cause for a political divide. That, and the profuse use of the passive voice.

I’m genuinely tired of this. As if I - a voting reporter for a decade who runs a voting newsroom - have never considered this. Read the story, or don’t.

"The 2020 election created wounds" Um, no. Republicans led by Trump did. The election was fair and settled clearly. Biden won.

We're approaching a full month, people.

Advisers to Biden are pushing him to show himself as a vigorous president at this week’s presidential debate, while advisers to Trump hope he will rein in his excesses.

"Since Texas’ ban on abortion went into effect, infant deaths in the state increased by nearly 13%, according to a new analysis published on Monday in JAMA Pediatrics. In the rest of the country, infant mortality increased less than 2% over the same period."
