Political News for Normal People

As an American citizen, I am deeply concerned about what is happening in our country right now. By design, it is my humble opinion that the current administration is doing so many things at once that it’s difficult to know what important things are happening. There are too many bright, shiny objects distracting us from the real problems. If you are of the same mind and need recommendations on some great tools, I offer these…

If you only have time to check one resource, I recommend “WTF Just Happened Today”. It’s available in multiple formats — even smart speakers like Alexa — and does a wonderful job of using technology to cut through the fluff. Their link is the source in the next paragraph…

“Your essential guide to the shock and awe in national politics. A sane, once-a-day newsletter helping normal people make sense of the news.” Source: Political News for Normal People.

I also recommend their sister website http://currentstatus.io

One more tool that is useful for determining the bias and factuality of an article is http://ground.news and on a broader scale if you want to create your own virtual newspaper or curate content for socials, I recommend the feed reader http://inoreader.com — it’s best of class!
