Losing my mind here. Biden invested nearly a billion dollars into apprenticeships and the talking point is LISTEN TO THIS TRUMP CORROBORATING CEO? Come on. Apple offshored jobs the same reason as everyone else: worker exploitation to increase profits. bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-roo...

At the time, I missed the opening of this May 1 interview in which Jesse Watters says Musk invited Fox News “to sit in on his weekly 10 pm DOGE meeting.” “We met the whole crew…And they showed us how DOGE really gets done.” Conspicuously absent? AMY GLEASON, THE PERSON WHO SUPPOSEDLY LEADS DOGE

Oliver Darcy tried to ask Jake Tapper about whether his outrage and his journalistic lessons about senility should be applied to the current babbling president and not just to Biden recriminations, and Tapper couldn't or wouldn't even consider engaging with the question

This episode about the GOP's Reverse Robin Hood bill is really good, but I want to highlight two pieces in particular. (1) How the "no tax on tips" stuff is actually just going to lead to tax scams and won't actually help the purported beneficiaries

The two obvious flaws here are that 1) it makes policy choices reactive instead of proactive and 2) it ignores the problem being addressed by the (probably misguided) original idea: that there is a robust narrative universe that excludes Democratic ideas.

As often in the NYT lately, the problems are the headline, the placement, and the lede. The full article covers the crazy, but some editor made sure it was buried.

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Trump used a pic of war deaths in Democratic Republic of Congo to push lie of South African white "genocide." But it gets worse. He's slashed refugee resettlement from DRC while using corpses from that war as "evidence" of fake atrocities against whites! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1956...

Out of curiosity I reported this FB post for encouraging political violence. Within 1 minute I got a (probably automated) response saying “this is totally fine.” So when people look back and ask “why were so many Americans willing to condone political violence, this will offer a small clue.”

This brief commentary by a Times reporter is really important, and not discussed enough, in regard to Harvard and beyond: the Gov’t powers are unimaginably vast. If all of that power is exerted against you, “fighting back” just means delaying defeat. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/u...
