US higher ed is:
*an incredible tool of soft power
*which generates billions, subsidizing US students
*attracts the brightest people in the world to come here, and allows the US to retain the best of them
For Rubio & Trump, these are problems to be fixed.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

On a 2023 earnings call, Elon Musk boasted that Tesla had bagged “over 1 million” Cybertruck reservations and that “demand is off the charts.”

So why has the company still sold less than 50,000 trucks since customer deliveries began 14 months ago?
‘Over 1 Million’ People Wanted a Cybertruck. Where Are They?

once again, every accusation is a confession. republicans spent 15 years accusing democrats of winning elections by trading cash for votes. now, here we are.
If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

I'm enjoying this highly readable, solution based book.
Margaret Atwood calls it "An inspiring data-mine that gives us not only real guidance, but the most necessary ingredient of all: hope. Truly essential."
I highly recommend it for your winter reading list.
