Typos 2 and 3 of the day: capitalizing the in The New York Times Opinion section is a bad grammatical error. The modifies section, not New York Times. See your style guide. Bonus extra space. @BostonGlobeMark
He made a patriotic movie. It ruined his life. The story of the speech crime prosecution of Robert Goldstein

On today’s from page, the moment when Tufts PhD student Rümeysa Öztürk was released from the Louisiana detention facility where she had been held for six weeks, after she was arrested by masked immigration agents on a Somerville street in March. We reported from Basile, La., where supporters waited for hours in the rain for Öztürk to be let go.
“Thank you so much for all the support and love,” Öztürk told them, with a smile on her face, and hands over her heart.

You’re a fucking idiot, all Bob Kraft did is buy the team with his dead wife’s money and run the franchise into the ground once Tom and Bill left. The family sucks.

Would even Charles Ponzi be impressed? Exceptional work by Spotlight colleagues on the company that financed Steward's disastrous expansion
An Alabama real estate firm enabled Steward Health Care to grow and helped hide its shaky finances. It was a house of cards. A new @GlobeSpotlight from @bycathcarlock and me on Medical Properties Trust apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/i… via @BostonGlobe

Observers wondered how Ralph de la Torre, the embattled CEO of Steward Health Care, was able to hang on so long & largely faulted a weak board of directors. On Saturday, de la Torre announced he'll step down. From @BostonGlobeMark and @ByJessBartlett. bostonglobe.com/2024/09/28/b…

The cat was not killed, it was just off wandering. An effort by the Vance campaign to give the WSJ evidence of migrant pet-eating backfired spectacularly Tuesday.

The cat was not killed, it was off doing cat stuff. Admirable shoe-leather reporting in this WSJ takedown of false claims against migrants in Ohio
