The state dinner had more American billionaires than actual British people, no Democrats, and six conservative Supreme Court justices, which tells you everything. Plus: Laura …

Okay, I’ll be honest — I woke up this morning planning to check the comments on the good news brief and then realized I had not, in fact, done the good news brief. Everything is fine. Things are going great. I genuinely did not know what day of the week it was for most of this week, and that was the primary situat…

Today, I’m Taylor Armstrong, real housewife, angry-crying. And I’m pointing at Todd Blanche, who, like Smudge the cat, seems totally unbothered by my concerns.

Blanche is the acting attorney general (and disputed acting Librarian of Congress…coolcoolcool). Today, let’s talk about 5 examples of his “leadership”:

We’re old enough to remember Oregon Trail as a reward for keeping our desks clean. The pitch for edtech then was that it would help kids learn faster, better, more affordably, and more humanely.

A generation later, edtech is the default mode of learning. Playing the Oregon Trail was like having a dessert at school. For my daughters, learning via software is almost the whole meal.

I have all kinds of concerns about the status quo. Now, a class action lawsuit against Curriculum Associates (maker of i-Ready software) raises a new one: data collection and student privacy.

I was having the most perfect Saturday. Just prom perfection — my oldest son Griffin went with my best friend’s daughter Kathleen, they’ve known each other their whole lives, and I was trying to get on Instagram to share the pictures. What do I come back to on my phone? Chaos at the Correspondents’ Dinner.

That was ridiculous. Blasphemous, declared every corner of Al Gore’s internet.

But Trump is often the cartoon version of deeper, more consequential forces in his administration. Today, I’m talking about the God Squad, which this administration didn’t invent, but did…oh man…resurrect.
