STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

Trump: It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL.

Hey MAGATs, here's the Socialism you've been outraged about.

Hey INTEL, you know everything Trump touches dies, right?

Brilliant.
A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.

I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT. Astounding words from the judge about ripping U.S. residents off the streets and locking them up without due process. Pls RT. People need to know this. It's not going to stop with just a few scapegoats and everybody knows it.

This is excellent.
The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.

The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.
