It's sort of astonishing that someone can spend decades running businesses, even incompetently, and still have this child's concept of how economics works.
Sometimes I wonder if Trump utter buffoonery reflects poorly on us as a nation. And other times I think he may be a more accurate reflection that some of us would like to admit.

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

"Don't right-wing Star Wars fans realize they're the Empire, not the Rebels?"
Yes, they do. They like the Empire. They identify with it.
That's why they were so pissed off when Andor showed an Imperial as a gross, pathetic little rapist.

Andor is a great show but I think it would be a better one if it turned out Cassian Andor was somehow related to the Skywalker family. Maybe a cousin?

Yesterday we learned the sad news another child died from measles in Texas.
We also learned what RFK Jr. will and will not say
And we got a clearer glimpse of the playbook being used to discredit the proven measures to tackle measles outbreaks
Let me tell you why I'm worried 🧵

If Biden or Obama or Clinton or any Democrat seriously floated the idea of running for a third term as president, the GOP would immediately hold congressional hearings and threaten impeachment. It would dominate rightwing media for months.
What will Mr. Schumer's response be? Probably silence.

Jeffrey Goldberg calls out Mike Waltz on NBC over Signalgate:
"This isn't 'The Matrix.' Phone numbers don't just get 'sucked into' other phones. I don't know what he's talking about there … He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now
This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.

“We preface everything with an admission that our opponents are right and somehow we’re losing the messaging war. We don’t understand why this isn’t working.”
RFK Jr. is not wrong. We are failing to keep our communities healthy. This message resonates with many.
But I have serious concerns about his ability and expertise to lead such a sweeping overhaul of the HHS workforce. We need accountability, not just rhetoric.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
