On the substack this week... I wrote about why young people have become increasingly anxious and depressed over the last 30 years. (A lot of the simple/obvious explanations don't fit the trendline). samf.substack.com/p/the-agency...

Friendly Neighborhood Mouse @missmouse.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

D.C. is out of money for housing vouchers, and young people, especially in Wards 7 and 8, are struggling to stay housed while advocates figure out new ways to help. “Our Black and Brown LGBTQ+ homeless youth are navigating a quiet crisis,” says WAF’s executive director Cesar Toledo.

Kevin Warsh Has Some Explaining to Do
Kevin Warsh’s second policy meeting as chairman of the Federal Reserve last week wasn’t a resounding success. Analysts were puzzled by his refusal to explain the central bank’s decision to leave its policy rate unchanged. Amid the confusion, long-term bond yields rose sharply. Next day came reports that he was planning to have fewer such meetings in the future.

Just canceled my DashPass and sent this email to DoorDash. I encourage you to do the same if you support D.C. home rule. press@doordash.com and ir@doordash.com
Hello,

I’m writing to let you know that I just canceled my DashPass because of DoorDash’s disgraceful campaign against D.C. home rule.

DoorDash is urging Congress to nullify a new D.C. law imposing a 20 percent tax on food-delivery services—not merely by overturning that law, but by prohibiting the District from enacting any new tax without prior congressional approval. That is an extraordinarily sweeping assault on D.C.’s right to govern itself and an odious insult to the District’s residents.

I am especially disgusted by DoorDash’s public claim that it is somehow defending D.C. residents while actively seeking to strip us of our right to govern ourselves through our own democratically elected lawmakers. Please do not pretend that disenfranchising District residents is an act undertaken on our behalf.

I intend to publicize DoorDash’s attack on home rule as widely as possible and urge everyone I know to boycott the company.

Shame on you.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.
linuscatt · 1d ago
I worked at Smithsonian, specifically raising money for 250th. What I want people to know is we secured millions of private philanthropy to host a month long Folklife Festival on the mall, "The Festival of Festivals". Was going to feature well known festivals, think Burning Man, Farm Aid, Grand Ole Oprey etc. as well as smaller local and regional festivals from across the U.S. and territories. Goal was to feature truly the best and most beautiful creative expression in music, dance, arts and craft traditions, food, community etc. Can't name names but plan was to have headliners every night for free concerts.... Think the types of names who might be affiliated with the aforementioned large festivals. Stars were willing to perform because was under banner of Smithsonian. It had to all be scrapped bc the administration would not release permits to host on the mall. The money went elsewhere, but our nation was robbed of what would have been a once in a generation cultural moment.

South Korean workers at memory chip makers Samsung and SK Hynix negotiated profit sharing last year given the spike in demand for chips. Around 10% of profits in each case. A worker earning about $52,400 could receive up to $410,000 in bonuses this year according to Reuters. A nice win for unions

Relative position is one thing, but I don't think there's enough evidence the minimum wage increase was noticeable enough, especially with the pandemic related noise. Also doesn't take into account knock on effects like increased overtime at the car shop because more people can afford a car.
