Does anyone ever actually use Apple's Books app on the desktop? Asking, because here's the grid view, and then the list view. Why, why isn't the list view all text and much more information dense?

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

Turns Out, Trump and DOGE Haven’t Actually Saved Any Money.
The Trump administration spent $710 billion between January 21 and February 20, nearly a billion more than Joe Biden spent in a similar time period last year.

Just saw my CPA to do my taxes this week and he was freaking out about DOGE firing 6000 IRS workers during tax season. ("where do they think the money comes from!?")
I should have told him to call Congress.

👀 Trump in remarks to the House GOP just now promises no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime + an extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts.
That is, at minimum, an $8.95 TRILLION increase to the national debt for a tax bill.
So far, no talk about paying down the debt.

Over the past 4–5 years, Facebook has sunset tools (chiefly CrowdTangle) used by researchers and journalists, made data difficult and expensive to get, and iced out academics studying disinformation.
Now, it's shutting down the fact checking on its platform.

This is propaganda. This is how propaganda functions.
And the incentives for influencers ($ & clout) led to a proliferation -anyone can pick a niche and do this.
