I would give real money to any reporter who asks Vance where the schools that can't afford textbooks are getting money for hormones and sex-reassignment surgery. Make him show his work.

This is a must-read, though it's not an easy read. Sexual assault is a systemic problem; it's endemic to Patriarchy writ large. A political and social system that prioritizes the power and status of men over women does not value women, it consumes them. These men (don't call them boys...

Trump is raging at news orgs for refusing to cover his reception of Xi after he banned three from the White House. The real lesson here: When institutions join together to resist his abuses of power it actually works, sending him into a helpless fury. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2158...

Trump’s Angry Tirade Over Failing Press Ban Reveals His Achilles’ Heel
Trump is furious that news organizations are fighting back against his vile efforts to punish their colleagues—because collective resistance to his authoritarianism actually works.

If any of these guys spent 1 hour with someone outside of their ideological bubble they might have learned something. For example, if you think you can cut the deficit via personnel cuts, you are a fucking clown who does not deserve to be listened to. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-year-on-...
Musk seems to have genuinely thought the government was Twitter. This was one of the rationales for hiring him - he dramatically cut Twitter’s personnel and underlying costs, and no big deal! But one major difference is that unlike a tech firm, personnel for the federal government is a minor cost. Because federal employee salaries make up only about 5% to 6% of spending, you can fire a huge proportion of them, and barely put a dent in federal spending.

I never understood this fully until Covid: actual circumstances that doomsday preppers should have embraced...and they just couldn't. They'd spent years in maladaptive daydreams about hunting other humans and couldn't come to grips with the fact that they just needed to mask up and stay home.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

For likely the first time in modern history, the Supreme Court decided more cases in fast-tracked, secretive proceedings than in open court. These “shadow docket” decisions have let the Trump admin. bypass lower courts on deportations, ICE stops and more — often with little to no explanation.

It risks undermining one of Whatley’s central campaign arguments — that his Democratic opponent, former Gov. Roy Cooper, is soft on crime. And it could feed into an ad blitz by Democrats that has targeted the Republican’s association with another convicted sex offender, a former GOP official.
