The fact that the owners of the Washington Post and the L.A. Times have contravened their editorial boards’ endorsements for President is horrifying. It appears the owners have been intimidated by a potential authoritarian president. Democracy under threat? You bet.

The details get a little wonky, but here’s the TL,DR: Senate leaders are cynically trying to shave off $1.5 billion from what they owe inadequately funded, low-wealth school districts using an unprincipled and bogus methodology to undercount kids in poverty.

"The Bus Revolution plan is a step forward from the lazy status quo we’ve been living with for too long," writes Brendan J. Kelly.

Great piece by Dr Michael Stillman on the devil’s bargain we make incorporating electronic communication methods into medical practice. https://t.co/1Zxmj43swT

Thank you Dr. Rogers & Kirton for using your voices to bring light to the lived experiences of Black American Surgeons. We continue in our efforts to create an environment where these interactions aren’t our reality. @selwyn_rogers @orlandokirton1

Pa's system of funding education is unconstitutional, Commonwealth Court finds in a landmark decision, w/implications for #PHLed and every other district in the state. This truly could re-shape public education in Pa. @maddiehanna & I will have much more: https://t.co/miBRfQUUtD

A nice roundup of how PA will use federal stimulus money (including the Whole Home Repair Program from @SenatorSaval! 👏🏽)

[Spotlight PA @SpotlightPA]

Home repairs, property tax relief for seniors, and state park repairs are among 20 programs that will be funded with the one-time stimulus money: https://t.co/b3yW34yr1I

@LuisaWeesa @JocelynLeavitt @LuisaWeesa I have seen a few calls for something like this with the hashtag #nobuyjuly focused on July 3-5

In the 1990s, the Vine Street Expressway sliced Chinatown in half. In the "Still Processing" podcast, Philly native Wesley Morris looks at how it's disrupted life for everyone from schoolkids to seniors. https://t.co/pTS3HCfa67

@qvnaorg Will this meeting be live streamed or made available to watch later?

The Uvalde kids should be enjoying their last day of school today. Their families should be making summer plans. No mother I know is getting through today without heart pain for their mothers, for their families. America is a sad place to live today.

[Anne Helen Petersen @annehelen]

The daughter of one of the reporters at the Uvalde paper was killed in the massacre. She asked her editor if she could writer her daughter's obituary.

“She said, ‘Can I have two pictures?’ And I said, ‘You can have a full page.’ ”

Lots of cities are removing their downtown highways. Philly’s I-95 is being built back bigger, even as the adjacent neighborhoods bounce back. My column: https://t.co/ZqTBuGRjxB
