I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

$1 billion spent every day on this war while the death toll rises and Trump is backed into a corner. Meanwhile, at home... Gas prices are skyrocketing. Food is even more expensive. Mortgage rates are going up. Household debt is at a record high. The job market is drying up. Are we great yet?

This piece is very well reported and written. It’s clear-eyed, precise and gives important context. And yet it’s a great illustration that there’s this fundamental, unbridgeable formal constraint that makes it essentially impossible to plainly call this what it is. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Every accusation is a confession with Trump.
Screenshot of a post on X by Acyn (@Acyn) summarizing an exchange on MSNBC. The text says Hayes noted the president was asked whether evidence should be shared and responded no, claiming Minnesota is corrupt. The post quotes Ellison saying no president he’s heard of received a $400 million plane from a foreign country trying to curry favor, mentioning crypto deals and golf courses, and calling it remarkable for this president to label Minnesota corrupt. Below is an MSNBC split-screen video still showing Chris Hayes on the left and Keith Ellison on the right, with a lower-third about Minnesota officials demanding access to a shooting probe and “All In with Chris Hayes” branding, plus a “cc” icon.

Screenshot of a post on X by FactPost (@factpostnews) quoting Sen. Murphy saying “They’re trying to rationalize violence,” arguing that rewriting the narrative of January 6 and quickly labeling someone in Minneapolis a domestic terrorist is meant to normalize violence in politics and maintain power through the threat of violence. Below the text is an MSNBC video still showing Chris Murphy speaking on camera inside a Capitol building hallway with columns. A lower-third reads “BREAKING NEWS” and “DHS ADDING MORE AGENTS & OFFICERS TO MINNEAPOLIS AFTER SHOOTING,” with “Deadline: White House” branding and a “Capitol Hill” timestamp.

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court. A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.
