this really is impeachable for any president, but really grotesque coming from a regime that cut life-saving development aid because they said it was not efficient

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

It's a bit of a bummer that the story today has been "look at this absolute doofus of a senator" and not "Jack Smith once again credibly accuses the president of many serious crimes"

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Lotta talk right now about the President using public money to push political propaganda. It didn't start with these TV ads. Let me remind you of the political nonsense he forced the Census Bureau to publish: newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/how-to-fak...

Who Put the Census Bureau in the Propaganda Business?

A once-trusted agency has dressed up partisan election claims as official statistics—and hidden the evidence needed to test them.

You tax things you want less of. It’s why they tax cigarettes. To make it too expensive to bother with that bad habit It is a disgrace this logical fallacy is applied to housing. If you believe in IZ you don’t actually want more housing, you just want certain housing, which prevents other housing

I waited until the Trump–Xi visit was over to see what actually came out of it. $30B tariff cut. 2-month trade truce. New AI dialogue. No breakthrough on Taiwan, rare earths, Iran or Ukraine. Big summit. Small deal. The hard stuff didn’t move.

Why is the U.S. public so much more negative on AI than almost anyone else? Well, I think the fact that the U.S. AI industry is being lead by a bunch of very visible, crazy weirdos who talk about how AI will take everyone’s job and maybe kill us all the time is a pretty key factor.

Two thing can be true. The WH kicking out media it doesn’t like is absolutely a First Amendment violation. And There is little journalism of value to be found in the highly controlled, substance-free halls of power—wall-to-wall navel-gazing about one’s access probably being of the least value.

Saudi Arabia is in big trouble, with their oil industry under attack from multiple directions. The Saudis spent years bribing Trump and Kushner. At first, it seemed like a good investment. But the Iran war screwed them, now they really need help, and the US can't/won't. Me, in @foreignpolicy.com:

Some states are still pushing ballot measures to adopt massive tax cuts even as states face major cost shifts from the federal government under H.R. 1 in both #Medicaid & SNAP. Hopefully voters follow Missouri voters in overwhelmingly rejecting a recent measure to repeal that state's income tax.
