It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

1. I have been thinking about why Donald Trump is so unpopular. The conventional wisdom is that it's because he broke his promises – to bring down costs, to stay out of wars, to release the Epstein files.

A judge Trump put on the bench told the Postal Service the ballot rule was never theirs. Monday the Supreme Court refused to lift the other block. Two days. Two courts. Your ballot still goes out.

Trump Said He Didn’t See Them. Ireland Made Sure He Would.
A Texas county admitted why it moved the lines. The Supreme Court refused to save Trump’s ballot rule. And FEMA’s head of personnel spent Christmas trying to save 303 jobs.

By prompting students to turn to AI instead of to their fellow students, TAs, or professors, these technologies offer the illusion that human interaction is inconsequential. But learning with and from other people simultaneously supports learning and builds the human skills that make the world go ’round.

Trump announced his signature policy for the midterms: A $5,000 check for all adult American citizens, to be spent on American goods. I poured my heart into getting you this analysis as soon as I could. Here's the newsletter: newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/i-promise-...

I Promise I'm Good for It
So does the president. His check is $5,000, mine is $5,000, and so far the two of us have funded the exact same number of them.
