Taking Trump’s name off of the Kennedy Center is easy—but repairing the deeper damage to the institution, and the nation, will take much longer, @GrahamDavidA argues in The Atlantic Daily. https://t.co/rLT2DPU27w

Years of selective breeding have made fruit essentially like candy now, @elcush argues. She reports on how the American produce aisle evolved into its sweetest iteration—and what has been lost in the process: https://t.co/4Cg947hiKJ

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Retired Lt. General @MarkHertling: “I’m sorry for getting emotional, but that comment from @PeteHegseth that diversity is not our strength is bullshit.”

Hertling shows pictures of fallen soldiers to refute Hegseth’s nonsense. Powerful.

The astronaut Reid Wiseman talks about going deeper into space than anyone in history, eating maple cookies in microgravity, and deciding how to spend his first day off after returning to Earth. https://t.co/ue9TErIAL1

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

As this war stumbles to a close, it is clear that the president is lost: He didn’t know what he was doing when he began it, and now he doesn’t know how to get out of it.

The China summit showed, yet again, that dictators can both intimidate and flatter President Trump into taking their side—even against U.S. interests, @RadioFreeTom argues: https://t.co/rdvJya2aF1

The dismantling of the VRA represents an “evolution of Jim Crow–era disenfranchisement, the purpose of which is to shape the electorate into one where inequalities” can be “maintained with a veneer of democratic consent,” @adamserwer argues. https://t.co/fgSO0EsuHk

When Stephen Colbert’s tenure at “The Late Show” ends next week, so, too, will his brand of late-night TV, writes David Sims: https://t.co/aIjpBs7jXs

For generations of TV viewers, David Attenborough has made the best use of television’s ability to amaze, Anthony Lane writes. Now, he is celebrating his 100th birthday, still dazzling viewers with nature’s wonder. https://t.co/v5MByULX7v

The Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has a lot to say about Donald Trump, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be running for office any time soon. https://t.co/7Imvvp83uH

Tom Nichols: The president of the United States does not know what he's doing. He's an unstable person and the people below him are incredibly incompetent. His negotiating team is his son-in-law and a real estate developer. The Secretary of State is somewhere. The Director of National Intelligence is virtually invisible.

Pictures of the Earth from the Artemis II mission offer a sense that humans are united. If only Donald Trump could see what the astronauts do, @galbeckerman writes. https://t.co/Fs46Sc77P6

The astronauts of Artemis II have inspired awe anew—and reminded Americans that “comfort is not the only thing worth seeking,” Sally Jenkins writes: https://t.co/hPlT3AJxvq

@kinggeoiii1 @RadioFreeTom Speaking of trash, I took the opportunity to collect my garbage and take it out to the street. Much better use of my time and less disgusting.

“Public-opinion polls suggest that faith in American progress is more or less dead, but I found plenty of it at historic sites—struggling maybe, but still kicking,” @beverlygage writes: https://t.co/fGmK9qT00j

“I suspect there was not a speechwriter who worked on this effort so much as an intern whose job it was to cut and paste the President’s Truth Social feed into a document that could be fed into his teleprompter,” @sbg1 writes, of Trump’s address about the war in Iran. https://t.co/pQT4GTimJp

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Maybe giving this speech was a bad call. (And who wrote this mess?) Trump is clearly lost; admitting it to the rest of the world is a bad idea.
