What do I think of Trump decision to revoke Harvard's right to enroll international students? I say it violates First Amendment. See big-name First Amendment expert Eugene Volokh's explanation why. I add only that govt shouldn't have right to control student visas at all. reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Ends up when old people borrow trillions from young people, with no intention of paying it back, everything gets more expensive. www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

The Hunger Games is not a how-to book

Obviously the 2025 equivalent of a Trojan horse is a Trojan plane

The corruption here isn’t even my biggest concern. The security risk!?! The security risk is astronomical and totally unfixable. Listening devices? Tracking devices!? Software backdoors!? Intentional AND unintentional!? Unmeasurable risk.

Masked thugs kidnapping people off of the street are not heroes.

WIth everything else you kind of forget that the president of the united states is a crypto scammer

Pound of treatments > ounce of prevention? ✔️ Insane conspiracy theories > science? ✔️. Your HHS Secretary, ladies and gentleman.

modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

Not only is the big boy streaming, but Parting is playing #sc2 #notdeadgame www.twitch.tv/partingthebi...

This. Our land and buildings are not for sale.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

I'm a "veteran" of one of the AmeriCorps programs. This action is wrong on every level. Every. *******. Level.

Standing? You betcha! www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

It was about the bond market. It was always about the bond market.

Every time.

Please explain to me what a VAT has to do with non-tariff barriers. Yes it's a sales/consumption tax. That's not the same thing as a Tariff.

Jason Kelce's rant on the @newheightsofficial.bsky.social podcast about the Browns proposed stadium in Brookpark is priceless. The cold is gold. "Put on a jacket!"

There may not be a more haunting anti-war song than the Pogues' live renditions of The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. It seems all the more relevant as my country cuts veterans funding "because efficiency." www.youtube.com/watch?v=21C-...

#sc2 is still a global Esport, barely! Microsoft, time to ante up and save it for future years. Small investment, big loyalty.

What are you gonna do, deport us? We’ve been dealing with ICE for centuries.

Among many quotes, I loved the @karaswisher.bsky.social line on the @pivotpod.bsky.social with @jonlovett.bsky.social "I think we know now how he bankrupted his casinos."

I would love to see Howard Lutnick's 5 Things email to Elon this week.

Two days later almost to the hour. And LOL has turned to WTF and yet completely predicable.

I don't normally LOL looking at Google Finance. But I was curious what the S&P 500 futures would look like after that beautiful ceremony in the Rose Garden.

The plan to speedrun modernizing the social security database is just the latest instance of a common theme in Musk's campaign: He's SO convinced he's a peerless supergenius that it never occurs to him that if it were this easy to do something, maybe other people would have done it already.

“There is no administration in the world — beyond this one — where a blunder of these proportions happens and nobody gets fired or resigns. Not in London. Not in Moscow. Not in Tokyo. Not in Pyongyang. Nowhere.” www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Sad fact. Except for the alphabetical sorting of the Eastern Conference teams prior to any games being played, I don't remember the last time the Chicago Fire #cf97 was this high in the table this "late" in the season. You know what??? LET'S GO!!! GGG is giving me hope.

Perhaps the owner is a bit over-extended.

Not sure what Doggie has done today, but the cost to purchase Tesla stock is way down. Good work.

It's March 6, and my team is the playoffs. March 6th. #letemknow

This is a pretty good metaphor for Elon Musk's government activities. www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/s...

I like a lot of @jamellebouie.net takes, but this one is especially spot on. Either than or I am already ready for breakfast.

Key takeaway from DOGE: There’s less government fraud/waste than expected.

@jamellebouie.net I used to love when Jamelle Bouie would be a guest on the Political Gabfest. I'm glad I found his Bluesky account.
