it’s genuinely fascinating how establishment democratic politics in big cities has become so ossified and incompetent that they’ve created a huge lane for the left to embrace good government reforms and build a broad coalition of socialists and technocrats

As I no longer hang out on ex-Twitter, I missed this worrying declaration from the head of the National Nuclear Security Administration last week. This new policy emphasizing building new nuclear warheads rather than maintaining the 3,700 we already have has not been debated or approved by Congress.

A September 14, 2026, tweet from Brandon Williams:

“The era of primarily emphasizing Stockpile Stewardship is over.

Going forward we will be defined primarily as an organization focused on weapons production.”

"Is it good? No. Will it achieve anything that matters? Also no. Is it conceivable that possibly it maybe won't be the worst thing that happens to journalism? Eh, we'll see."

He said that if the state had held out and gone to trial on its antitrust arguments, it would not have been able to negotiate any journalistic oversight for CNN and CBS, whereas the “creativity and flexibility of settlement” allowed them to establish the oversight panel.

“Does that transform our information ecosystem broadly, to make sure that there’s no more misinformation or disinformation? No. Does it make sure that all broadcast news and cable channel news organizations are only telling fair, fact-based, independent, objective news? No. Does it even ensure that happens every single time at CBS News or CNN? No,” Bonta said. “Does it improve the likelihood, vastly, significantly, that that outcome will occur? It does.”

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

At best, older workers will struggle to find health insurance that bridges the years before they qualify for Medicare at age 65.

10+ years of lobbying for this war & going after those questioning their logic. 7 months, 1000s of deaths, billions of $ into it, they’re learning: their goals weren’t reachable, they had serious gaps in “analysis,” they didn’t consider tradeoffs, and they hand waged inconvenient evidence.

California Environmentalism is easy to understand. State law mandates that every parking garage display a prominent warning that parking garages are known to the State of California to Cause Cancer. At the same time, every city has a law that requires all new buildings to include parking garages.

It's not that @mayor.lacity.gov, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and several other prominent California Democrats think it's a good trade that people are continuously maimed and killed along a road in a park so that cars can travel fast along it. It's that they know it's shameful and are trying to hide it.

Want to know why transit ridership in the U.S. is so low? These maps break down the harsh reality. So many major U.S. cities fail to provide even basic, high-frequency service—showing why systems like Brampton Transit in Ontario punch way above their weight class by comparison.

Oh yeah for sure man www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/m...

Popik, of the Foundation for Resilient Societies, said he had gotten more mileage recently from talking about transformers as a problem for A.I. build-out than from talking about, well, the future of civilization. “If you tell people we need more transformer production capacity in the United States because someone might attack us one day,” he said, “a lot of people go: ‘There are a lot of bad things that could happen. I can’t worry about every one.’ But if you tell people, ‘You know, the United States may not be competitive internationally in 10 years in the field of artificial intelligence unless we can build a lot more data centers and they’re going to require electricity, but the bottleneck for those data centers may actually be transformer production,’ then people go, ‘Oh, wait a minute.’”

Last September, Israel Ambassador Yechiel Leiter met with Fetterman in his office, and suggested an alternative: Fetterman could write an op-ed explaining why he continued to support Israel, according to people familiar with the matter.

Fetterman agreed, and told Leiter he would write the submission based on any points the ambassador sent over, according to these people. A few days later, embassy staff sent over drafted points for Fetterman to consider.

Fetterman staffers decided not to tell him about it, out of concern that drafting an op-ed based on suggestions from the Israeli embassy, under the senator’s name, risked violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. A spokeswoman for Israel’s embassy declined to comment.
