I’ve remarked on this before but I was Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max’s age back in the Eighties. I’m a class of ‘89 kid. I played D&D and rode bikes and had awkward crushes and dealt with bullies. I think a lot of Gen X has this same deep familiarity with Stranger Things, the same feelings.

Just browsing ESPN and saw the Broncos were favored by 5.5 over @sanfrancisco49ers.bsky.social in this weekend's preseason game, and I'm just beside myself imagining how degenerate you'd have to be to wager on the NFL preseason. Ever watch the fourth quarter of one of these things? Chaos!

Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

ICE will have a budget greater than the Ukrainian armed forces in 2024.
Let me repeat that. The Republicans are willing to pay more than entire military budget of the Ukrainians to round up people into camps and deport them into a Gulag.
ICE would be the 8th most well funded military on Earth.

Hot take. The government isn’t subsidizing university budgets. Universities are lending subsidized expertise to research and development that contributes to the public good. It’s called partnership.

We set out to quantify U.S. academic contributions to medicines. The results stunned even us
From 2020 to 2024, universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs. 87% of those academic breakthroughs came from American institutions.
