1/ If you’re in D.C. for @ausaorg’s conference, we want to hear from you. We’ve been reporting on the $1 trillion dollar black hole of the U.S. military budget, and we’re looking for insiders to help us find out: Is all of that money really making our country safer?
A D.C. bus stop advertisement reads: The defense budget is $1,000,000,000,000. Is all that money getting soldiers what they need? If you have a tip about defense spending, you can contact ProPublica securely: propublica dot org slash tips. Write us on Signal: 917-512-0201. The illustration on the ad shows a huge stack of coins rising out of the Pentagon.

Nearly 60 journalists who recently landed positions in a new newsroom explained how to get a job right now. Most of them had the same advice: You need to network more. poynter.org/commentary/2026/…

How do you land a journalism job right now? Nearly 60 journalists told us - Poynter

The job market is brutal, but journalists are still finding new roles — and more than half of those we surveyed landed better pay and benefits

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Dan was an old-school newspaper man — perpetually outraged, skeptical of power, giddy for scoops, slyly hilarious, bad at emotion. But I loved him so much. He charged 10% of your story and made it 90% better. And he changed my life, by believing in me.❤️‍🩹washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

Dan Eggen, who shaped politics coverage at The Post, dies at 60

He helped guide Pulitzer Prize-winning projects, including coverage of Russian election interference in 2016 and the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
