Who imposed tariffs?
Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce?
Who undermined the Fed?
Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

Chargers kicked a field goal so now it's 5-3. Fun fact - there are 3 scores in football that are only possible with a safety: 2, 4, & 5. I have literally never thought of this until now.
Forgive me for interrupting the political frenzy, but I'd like to report that the score of tonight's football game is currently 3-2.

I am currently out of the philosophy department on parental leave. if this inquiry is about classes for next semester, please email the chair of the department. if your inquiry is about the nature or existence of the external world, please consult René Descartes' work
Just got the best out-of-office message I've ever seen from a fellow academic:
"I am currently away on leave. If this is an emergency... well, I doubt it. What could possibly be an emergency in my line of work?"

I asked Georgetown law prof David Super wtf is going on with this latest demand for states to claw back benefits already sent out.
He says the law doesn't allow for this, and if the USDA is mad that states already sent out SNAP money, too bad—they were following USDA's own guidance. Full comments:

Astonishing how hard this administration is working to keep people hungry.
It's clear they are trying maximize public suffering, in hopes of getting people to blame Dems for that suffering. But it's transparently the White House working overtime to keep the suffering going!

Yikes. USDA sent threatening letter to states telling them that if they sent out EBT money —which many states did during the window when a lower court said SNAP funds had to be released—they have to take it back (?)
Trying to sort out what this means and if states even can claw back the funds
