Watching Musk fight with Trump is like watching the SEC football game of the week. I hope they both lose.

The translation of Trump's rhetoric into on-the-ground enforcement bothers enough people to turn it into a political loser. The Dems should not let this conversation occur at the level of abstraction.

A core logic of mainstream journalism is that news gives people information, and people act on it politically. Framing research suggests the way journalists explain the news conditions how people process it and what steps they take. The skeet and headline are pulling in different directions.

This reads like one of those sports stories that come after a baseball team fires its manager and suddenly the beat reporters feel like they can say everything.

It would be fitting if this were the year a Canadaian team finally won another Stanley Cup (although maybe the Oilers have the fan base most likely to want to join the U.S.)

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

Journalism is a weak profession because it is highly permeable. Medicine and law are stronger because of the specialized knowledge and expertise. This attempt to bring professional organizations to heel is an attack on autonomy. Time for some boundary work.

Every statement from Rubio has me doing a mental inventory of the grad students in our program. None from China that I know of, but I'm sure the rest of the university is not the same.

Trump feeds the content mills and benefits from even negative coverage. He gets to look engaged and appeals to this base when commentators object to stuff. And the political media gets new material to write about. Access benefits sources as much as reporters.
