Reels and TikToks may be bad to your cognitive and mental health. An analysis of 71 studies and 100,000 people shows that the more short-form videos both teens and adults watched, the more they struggled with attention, self-control, and even stress and anxiety.

Where my so-called “Constitutional conservatives” at?
The US Constitution: “No person shall be denied life, liberty, or property without Due Process.”
Former Supreme Court justice the arch conservative Antonín Scalia said it right.

America’s 80-year run since WWII has been rooted in two major American-led initiatives: Bretton Woods, which enshrined free trade and low tariffs. And NATO, which won the Cold War.
Both of these have benefitted the U.S. so very much and are being undone with stunning speed by President Trump.

Yesterday, JD Vance gave a bizarre speech to Europe’s leaders in Munich, Germany where he scolded them for stifling free speech. The Press Freedom Index ranks the U.S. as 55th in terms of freedom of speech among the world’s countries, while Sweden is ranked 3rd and Germany is 10th. Russia is 162.

DEI for the kakistocrats: Trump‘s nominee for transportation secretary is a former Fox News TV host who before that was a reality TV star on The Real World and Road Rules. He has zero transportation sector experience.

Under Trump, the Department of Labor is ending all investigations and enforcement around discrimination in the workplace. This doesn’t promote meritocracy. Instead, it undermines it because greenlights and protects bigotry and discrimination.

Why is it not world news that Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (and JD Vance) are openly anti-democracy and prefer monarchy, what Peter Thiel calls “the CEO model of government.” That “democracy was a mistake.” So-called “Dark Enlightenment” all the way down.

At 4.1%, President Biden has the lowest unemployment rate on average among the last 14 presidents, going all the way back to 1948. That’s with all the immigrants (not) taking our jobs. And Biden also has the highest real hourly wage among the last 11 presidents. Don’t be a dupe.
