Nowhere in the Trump account legislation does it allow auto-enrollment or say anything about enrollment procedures at all, just so you know the way that John Roberts will justify his 6-3 decision blocking auto-enrollment of kids into Medicare

New, from me: Once memory-holed, DOGE is now the subject of revisionism. To better understand why DOGE failed, I talked to people in the civic tech movement that DOGE displaced, who continue to offer the alternative model for how to modernize govt. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-vs-ci...

One of the biggest media failures (among many) of the past year has been the failure to cover the Venezuela "operation" for what it was--a smash-and-grab mafia state theft by the U.S. that violates international law and the rights of Venezuelans while achieving very damn little for the U.S.

The cost of going into business with a dictatorship for no other pretense than theft and graft will cost us more than any imaginable benefit for America. And as @sanho.bsky.social keeps saying, the more money that flows into the oil fields, the more an insurgency becomes likely.

As anyone who has studied radical technological shifts knows, successful societal innovation journeys require popular cultural legitimation. Clearly, the U.S. AI companies have horribly bungled this legitimation exercise for their tech. Could this be because they're led by historical ignoramuses?

Russ Vought just sent a rescissions request to Congress, signaling he intends to illegally impound funds. The $810 million highlighted in this “request” (but this is a pretext to just illegally impound the funds) is not the exhaustive list of many billions of dollars he’s impounding this year.

I kinda get why people hate on fussy philosophical stuff, but on the other hand don't you think we live in a time where it'd be especially helpful to have rigorous conversations about things like personhood, meaning in life, the point of art, the point of pure mathematics, & operationalizing ethics?

If one of the "rewards" of affluence is that you get to opt out of the services everyone else uses -- roads & transit, aviation system, schools, healthcare, etc. -- then those services are inevitably starved of resources & decline. We have to force affluent people to be invested in them.

OK news agencies and broadcasters with a presence in the White House Briefing Room, and indeed the WHCA: your test has arrived. It is not hard to pass. You just need to not attend WH Briefings for as long as this rule is in force. That’s it. Does your commitment to a free press mean anything or not?
