🗳️ Trump’s Super Tuesday

Trump's Super Tuesday wins spark debate: strategic triumph, or survival tactic?

🗳️ Donald Trump achieved a series of victories on Super Tuesday, in multiple states. The Federalist says Trump's win is sweet revenge against his political adversaries.

🗳️ The NYT agrees: He’s stronger than he was in 2016. Biden sticking around for 2024 inadvertently boosted Trump's electability case.

🗳️ But WaPo didn't see it that way: Trump's Super Tuesday dash was a desperate survival bid, not political triumph. His brand tanked and his legal woes mount; presidency might be his get-out-of-jail card.

🗳️ And MSNBC argued Trump's Super Tuesday dominance showed GOP fractures: Haley successfully harnessed a “never Trump” threat.

🏆 Who should win Best Picture?

Which movie will take home top prize at the Oscars? It’s a strong field of contenders.

🏆 The Independent argues that Oppenheimer should take home the Oscar for Best Picture. It has cinematic excellence and mass appeal.

🏆 The Guardian believes Barbie deserves the Oscar for its cultural impact and subversive humor. It's a real gem.

🏆 But The Globe and Mail thinks it's gotta be Zone of Interest. It's “challenging, experimental, exceptional and essential”.

🏆 And another Guardian piece says that Anatomy of a Fall deserves the Oscar. It captures the human spirit against adversity.
