'The science select committee should recognise that its remit covers all of research, and conduct an inquiry into the Library, with a view to helping it recover. It could quantify the funding that is needed to properly rebuild the Library’s digital infrastructure'.
I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

A 🧵: It was a wild day for D.C. in Congress yesterday, where a House committee advanced 14 bills targeting the city – everything from banning traffic cameras to giving Trump the power to appoint the city's attorney general. I've got a detailed write-up in @51st.news: 51st.news/house-republ...

Knoxville, where Burchett was mayor, is lower, but still among the most violent 10 percent of cities in the country.

With D.C.’s MPD now under federal control and the National Guard coming to D.C., the fate of people in encampments remains up in the air.

Super helpful analysis here:
Congress has given the President the power to take control of the D.C. local police for up to 30 days "for federal purposes," and to deploy the (tiny) D.C. National Guard.
As today's "One First" explains, that's the full extent of what the President can do to "federalize" D.C. without new statutes:

172. "Federalizing" D.C.
Like any federal enclave, the federal government has plenary power over the District of Columbia. But Congress has delegated most of that power to local officials; it would take new laws to undo that.

A LOT of Americans don't understand that "public funding" streams back into enriching their communities. They scream about their tax dollars being used for handouts without realizing that's what's been keeping every small business in their whole town afloat.
All those people who say that the US university system is just a bunch of cultural Marxists divorced from the needs of the nation are about to find out how wrong they are. (It is many things, which is really good, and many of them are not market-driven, which is also good. But still.)
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

There's something really interesting going on here methodologically in Justice Jackson's Medina v. Planned Parenthood dissent. You can see it in one footnote.
In short, Jackson is emphasizing that Black Americans are part of the original "public" about which "originalists" should be concerned.
