If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from reporting on the current DOGE collection of govt data, it is that the people who’ve previously spent their careers carefully handling this information believe there is almost no limit to how it could be abused (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The notion that the US has been “ripped off” — even as it crushed the entire planet on cross-border fund flows for the past five years — is absolutely hilarious. 🤡 (via GS desk/Pasquariello)

China and its propagandists couldn't be happier with Trump and Musk. The state-run People's Daily, for instance, recently praised DOGE for "confirm[ing] what critics have long argued: The United States is not a beacon of democracy, but a global engine of instability."

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent in the elevator with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance. The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

Indeed I’m fearful. We aren’t testing much any more. We’re firing everyone in govt who can help and stripping funding from academic & industry scientists who can fill the gaps. H5N1 is a real threat & US policy puts us all at risk. Me & colleagues Kay Russo, Kamran Khan, & Keith Poulsen discuss👇🏻

once again reminding folks that putting top secret information onto your phone is illegal and unsafe regardless of who you add to the chat or what app you choose to send it with. Even if you only add the one person who should get it, and you only use signal, it is still illegal and unsafe.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

The rest of the tariffs are “on pause” for 90 days. So all the fuckery can start all over again. That means that the world economy is hanging on Trump’s latest arbitrary whim, which can move trillions of dollars with a social media post. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

It's not just his delusion that tariffs will bring manufacturing jobs back. It's the paranoia, and the sense that trade is somehow rigged. @saletan.bsky.social on Trump's big tariff lie:

An administration filled with antisemites can’t expect us to believe that this is about fighting antisemitism. They are weaponizing antisemitism to advance a xenophobic agenda. Fighting antisemitism requires fighting for a strong democracy, not hatred and authoritarianism.

US campuses haven't always lived up to the potential for what they could be: spaces for dissent in an unfree world. But that potential has done a lot of good, even when it's been more aspirational than real. And now that dream—creating free spaces in an unfree world—is slipping through our fingers.
