You can tell that the One Big Beautiful Bill* is truly beautiful because they’re holding the hearing after midnight

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

The DOJ is arguing, on behalf of the President, that the President can scoop up anyone, put them on an airplane, and then no laws apply because no court has jurisdiction.
Whether the person is a citizen wouldn't change that because there's no point they could even tell a court they're a citizen.

Wow. DOJ is arguing that the President has authority outside the Alien Enemies Act in international waters "that would not be subject to either orders."
Boasberg seems skeptical, asking if the president's foreign power exists only once the plane crosses into international airspace?

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!
Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."

My favorite fact about the NYC subway is that there are way more daily riders (about 4 million) than the number of people who fly in the US out of all airports every day (~2.5 million). The scale is hard to get a grasp on.
Max capacity passengers per hour:
* Boring Co’s Vegas Loop: 4,500
* NYC subway 6 train: 105,000

RIP TikTok. The ultimate example of the olds not getting it.
It is especially ironic that we're freaking out about a foreign owned social network when we're letting untrustworthy figures straight through the door over here

I wrote the latest cover story for The Atlantic. It's about the far-ranging implications of one simple statistic: Americans have never spent so much time alone, and surging solitude is warping our society.
I'm really proud of it, and I hope you read it.

For Canadians, once you're in the hospital, the province takes care of the bill.
No one in Canada has ever declared bankruptcy because of hospital bills.
America is, in fact, alone in this regard.

this goes to my other pet issue, which is that "kids safety" has become synonymous with social media use, when their safety in reality is most threatened by guns and cars
Also traffic is one of the top-ranked causes of injury in the US. Add that to the health effects of pollution and it is one of our most damaging public health exposures.
