I hate to say it, but "75% of the deported have no criminal record" is more convincing to the normie mind than "without habeas corpus we can all be snatched". Don't overthink it, the civil rights movement made heavy use of "sympathetic victims".

What a great conversation... reminding us that the effort to find transdisciplinary definitions of ideas like critical thinking can run up against some of their contextual nature... also that we lose some nuance in seeking a single (re: one-size-fits-all) definition. @michellemillerphd.bsky.social

Of course they are.

I see people comparing Trump to 1700s mercantilists. That’s not quite right. Even 18th century mercantilists knew that if you were trying to use tariffs to boost your trade surplus, you wanted to tax imports of *finished goods,* not the *inputs* www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/tru...

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

I’m demanding Sec. Duffy explain why his agency is suddenly selecting Musk’s Starlink for FAA use after a contract was already signed with Verizon. This new deal reeks of corrupt, self-serving abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Good thing we recently withdrew from the WTO and killed USAID's international public health programs www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

110 of 363 Taxpayer Assistance Centers and 5 of 10 call centers are going to be shut down, per a meeting that just happened at the IRS. During tax season.

Perfectly executed piece from my colleague @danamilbank.bsky.social, on our owner's edict that WaPo opinions write "every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets." The greatest threat to these pillars is Donald Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

An extraordinary reputation of Trump, Bondi & Bove— from a conservative Scalia clerk who was chosen by Trump to lead SDNY. While longer than Robert Welch’s famous, “have you no shame” response to Joe McCarthy, no less historic. If the GOP Congress had as much … 1/2 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

350 Rabbis took out a full page ad in the NYTimes today opposing Trump’s plan for Palestine and calling it ethnic cleansing.

Senate Republicans have confirmed Trump’s least qualified Cabinet nominees—and given up their role as an independent check on the president. This will encourage Trump, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. And in bowing to him, senators may be defying voters’ preferences.
