NYT is definitely guilty of laundering horrible ideas, but does Stephens even count as a "reasonable" conservative? His arguments are consistently evil, mean-spirited, and bad faith. I'm saying this as a socialist who sometimes enjoys Brooks and Douthat. Stephens just brings *nothing* to the table

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Most parents don’t enjoy reading to their children, survey suggests
Report from Nielsen and HarperCollins shows that parents see reading as a literacy skill, rather than something to encourage their children to love

No president has been meaningfully more anti-worker than Trump in terms of his actions. In terms of rhetoric, maybe. I think it may actually be useful to separate somewhat how the regime talks and how it acts. There's overlap on immigration and tariffs, not so much on workers.

Wow—15 international students at the University of Central Florida have had their visas revoked as a result of the school's signed partnership with ICE. One was detained. Literally handed over to immigration cops by their own university. Despicable.

Kima for me has one of the craziest moments in the show. The cops are beating up a kid and you see Kima give a look like "oh no you don't" and runs over, and you're thinking, okay she's going to help but no she fucking joins in the beating! Very real moment showing how the cops are a gang

say coffee beans are $5/lb from Colombia and $15/lb from Hawaii. if there's a 100% tariff, then the Colombian beans will cost Baltimore Coffee & Tea $10/lb to import. That's still better than the Hawaiian coffee, so they're going to keep buying Colombian coffee.

the importer pays the tariff, not the exporter. the exporter will sell if there is a buyer. and if a good is way cheaper to produce in a non-US country, it can still make economic sense to import the good, even with a 100 percent tariff.

Dear Dems: Polling shows only *generalized* approval of Trump on immigration, but broad opposition to the lawless specifics. If you don't engage on Abrego Garcia and other illegal kidnappings, you only *help* Trump subsume all that under "keeping out illegals." newrepublic.com/article/1941...

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
A screenshot of a tweet by the official White House account. 

Text: “Fixed it for you, @NYTimes.
Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.”

There is also a screenshot of the front page of the NyT with a large headline and photo about Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia. They have edited the headline with red ink handwriting to say “ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back.”

why? if foreign goods are 51%+ cheaper or better, you'd need a >100% tariff to get people to buy the domestic good. (not saying i support this of course)
