As a former contributing writer to the AP Stylebook, I'll make a ruling here: it should be "Dans Sullivan" like Surgeons General. Like Attorneys General, or courts martial. xitter.cf/migold/status/21147937…
Replying to @APStylebook
@APStylebook is it Dan Sullivans or Dans Sullivan

AI is not going to "save local journalism." It can be a helpful tool in some instances, but AI-generated local news just erodes the remaining trust in news sources (but can be a handy excuse for media companies to lay off reporters!)
Axios CEO says the company is building an Axios Local "Super System" that "uses AI to track government action, community data and coming events" and will "give local reporters more time for local reporting." axios.com/2026/10/24/axios-a…

Most coverage refers to New Mexico’s verdict against Meta as a privacy case. But it is fundamentally about speech. 43,899,725 “violations” and $25 billion in damages for speech about speech. The chilling effect will be enormous. Full piece at FIRE’s Expression ↓

Violence is not extreme speech. Violence is the antithesis of what freedom of speech is for.
