Even if most students visas aren't revoked, would a parent send their child to the US knowing that the rules could change at any time. You send your kid to get a degree in four years. If there is a risk that the rules change two years in, why would they come? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

I wish #mls and #apple would change their tv interface to stop showing scores. No way to catch up on a game or watch a game later without knowing the score. See Peacock interface for EPL and many other sports apps.

I do not know how this is anything but good news for the Democrats. It's a large flying billboard that travels with the president. Every job loss...every person uninsured...will be contrasted with the opulence of this plane and costs to retrofit. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

WSJ analysis is pretty good, but I often find their best points are buried in a few sentences in the middle of the analysis like here. The fact is that China does not have elections and the US does. China’s currently in the waiting game, not in the negotiating game. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

The thing is Powell is just one member of a 12 member committee (Federal Open Market Committee) that sets interest rates. For Trump to control interest rates he’d need to fire seven members and find seven replacements. I suspect that’s the main dynamic saving Powell.

From WSJ. I’m not sure how this doesn’t impact recruitment to the military. No one wants to enter an organization that is in chaos. Particularly so when one’s life is literally on the line.

Trumps 4D chess seems more like a new player that learns that the queen is the most powerful piece and releases them up the board trying to attack everything. They soon realize they are exposed and try to retreat and bring other pieces up. Turns into a shambles. Ultimately it’s checkmate.
