US dollar dominance isn't magic. Everyone prices things in dollars. So everyone contracts in dollars. So everyone ends up trading through dollars. The US is at the center because everyone else agreed to use our $$. newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

MLK Day is a reminder that history happened right here in Texas. Jan 5, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. came to Dallas to speak at the Music Hall at Fair Park. More than 2,500 people attended. Outside, bomb scares and protesters tried to disrupt the event.

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

A1 above the fold in the @nytimes.com. The message is getting through. Keep pushing everyone. We can save the #CDC, save the #NIH from the clutches of #RussellVought #StephenMiller and #DonaldTrump. Keep the pressure up on your members of Congress and the media (letters to editors, op-eds).
 A photograph of the front page of The New York Times dated September 2, 2025. The main headline reads: “In Blitz on Science, Experts Warn of an Autocratic Tilt.” Below it are two featured articles. The first, by Apoorva Mandavilli, is titled “C.D.C. Left Battling for Its Survival” and describes turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became health secretary, leading to staff losses, leadership resignations, and questions about the agency’s legitimacy. The second article, by William J. Broad, is titled “Are Research Cuts Fighting Red Tape or Free Inquiry?” and discusses threats to science and research under political pressure.
