Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... 1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order 2. The lack of elites acting like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm.

I’ve been covering the NBA for 37 years. Almost nothing that happens - deals, free agent signings, draft choices, coach hiring/firings - rises to the level of, as the great Ben Bradlee used to call them, “Holy S—t” stories. You just used to crazy. This is a “Holy S—t” trade.

The Clippers duck the tax by trading PJ Tucker for Drew Eubanks. They’re $4.1 million below that threshold so still have room to increase payroll a bit while remaining under. They also create a $6.5 million trade exception.

If 55.6 points per game is the highest average ever by an American high school basketball player, how do we know nothing at all about Finell White? How does someone with such a mark vanish in time? It’s impossible not to wonder what-if. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/607...
