From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University. www.chronicle.com/article/were...

One columnist, a professional pundit, is living in a paranoid delusion. The other, a sociologist, is living in America.

Sharing some resources for people trying to figure out how they might want to plug in if they aren't already: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Foreign Policy Patrick Star is right.

NEW: We named the 10 DOGE Operatives inside the Social Security Administration, a team that is among the largest DOGE units deployed to any government agency. read @makenakelly.bsky.social and @davidgilbert.bsky.social:

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

NEW: The WIRED crew takes you inside the first 6 weeks of DOGE, laying out in great detail how Elon Musk installed loyalists across government who gained access to our country's most sensitive computer systems. “This is a digital coup,” one USAID source told me. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Fears are rising that infectious diseases such as measles could make a comeback now that the anti-vaccine advocate is in charge of the US public-health system https://go.nature.com/4hucAlP

For the Daily Beast, I wrote about the recent viral video featuring liberal commentator Sam Seder vs. 20 conservatives. www.thedailybeast.com/the-viral-de...

Either Congress and the courts force compliance or we're no longer a nation of laws

JIMINY GLICK: Now you, you, you, you—your cars, they tend to run over pedestrians. Or else BURST into flames. ha HA isn't that wonderful! ELON MUSK: *the least convincing laugh of all time* GLICK: *tucking his legs under himself* You bought a website where no one likes you. Why?

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

Good @jonathanbernstein.bsky.social piece on the shutdown. The odds Democrats can reverse or halt impoundments entirely are slim given their situation. That said, Democrats may be on the cusp of becoming a true opposition party. goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/shutdown-s...

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

Good piece by @ianpkearns.bsky.social on the threat that Trump’s America now poses to Europe: europewithoutamerica.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

the conservatives that Sam Seder debated in that Jubilee video were so bad that the online right has convinced themselves that the conservatives were actually the leftists and that Sam was the conservative lol

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.
