How Outlier is helping Detroiters get millions of dollars back from Wayne CountyThousands of Detroiters were eligible to reclaim profits after their homes were sold in tax foreclosure auctions. Outlier Media launched a massive community outreach effort to reach people eligible to file claims. By Sophie Culpepper. |
“The US collects a vast amount of weather and climate data, an essential resource for humanitarian efforts around the globe. It guides efforts to predict where droughts and crop failures might lead to food shortages, where people are at risk from flash flooding, and how to prepare for the Atlantic hurricane season. Even if these systems eventually get back up and running, erratic changes under the Trump administration are already stalling lifesaving work.”
The Atlantic / Megan GarberThe short-circuiting of the American mind →“For decades, American politics have relied on the same logic that polygraph machines do: that liars will feel some level of shame when they tell their lies, and that the shame will manifest—the quickened heartbeat, the pang of guilt—in the body. But the body politic is cheating the test with alarming ease.”
Variety / Todd SpanglerTrump falsely claims that 60 Minutes admitted to the “crime” of editing an interview in a way that “cheated and defrauded the American people” →“In fact, Paramount and CBS have argued that they did nothing wrong in the matter — and have called Trump’s suit ‘an affront to the First Amendment’ that is ‘without basis in law or fact.'”
Trump also claimed that The New York Times — for reporting, accurately, that “Legal experts have called the suit baseless” — could make the newspaper “liable for tortious interference.”
The New Yorker / Jill LeporeA hundred classics to get me through a hundred days of Trump →“Little editions that fit in the palm of your hand and can be rubbed like rosaries are close relatives of prayer books. They are meant for the masses and often intended to be read, and reread, in difficult times…my Penguin Little Black Classics smell like a stationery store, and they have a small flat-footed, big-bellied penguin on the front cover, with his head cocked, and the words inside make sense, none of which can be said for the daily news about the state of the nation.”
The Business of Fashion / Sarah KentLuxury has a fake news problem. Is silence the right strategy? →“These days algorithms that run on engagement are dictating what people see and influencing how they feel about brands and products. Part of the reason why the false narrative around Chinese manufacturing has gained such virality is that it plays into topics that were already on people’s minds. Questions on whether luxury goods are still worth their price tags have been simmering on social media for months.”
The New York Times / Minho KimJudge orders Trump officials to disburse funding for Radio Free Europe →“’In this case,’ the judge wrote in his ruling, ‘it was Congress who ordained that the monies at issue’ should go to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in legislation signed by President Trump himself. ‘In short: The current Congress and President Trump enacted a law allocating funds to the plaintiffs,’ he concluded.”
Axios / Sara Fischer and Christine WangHow Trump has targeted the media in his first 100 days →“President Trump has done more to target traditional media companies than any other modern U.S. president. Even as he and his allies wage a historic trade war, they have not lost sight of their stated goal of going after the press.”
New York Times / Benjamin Mullin, Lauren Hirsch, and Michael M. GrynbaumParamount board clear possible path for settling Trump’s “60 Minutes” lawsuit →“Shari Redstone, the company’s controlling shareholder, has said she favors settling the case. She is set to receive a major payday in a pending sale of Paramount to a Hollywood studio, Skydance, that requires sign-off from the Trump administration.”
