It could be strategy or it could be incompetence. I’m trying to think through what kind of strategy, or what kind of incompetence, would produce this behavior.

I have been trying to decide whether this analogy is the most useful one for a while. The last few weeks are making it look better and better.

What makes you think that the value will recover?

Distinguish between chaos within the Trump team, and chaos for everyone else. I doubt that chaos within the team is the goal. Perhaps it's instrumental, perhaps not. But I don't think it's the goal.

I am trying to think through what this tells us about who holds power in the White House, and who is making (or not making) what decisions. If you have seen any good analyses, please share!

The DOGE email also clearly blindsided Trump's agency leadership. It was not something that had been worked out with them, or even shown to them. Trump's White House *could have* done that, but chose not to. Maybe it blindsided the White House, too.

There have to have been urgent questions to the White House from numerous agencies in the last 24 hours. But it seems like there wasn't a definitive answer. The agency emails do not read like they were written by people who knew whether they were expected to treat the DOGE "order" as valid.

But no! Trump went on Truth Social to post that "ELON IS DOING A GREAT JOB" which doesn't really answer the number-one question: should Trump's loyal appointees be forcing their agencies' employees to write up their "what I did this week" reports.

Also, I'm still not sure whether I have the verb forms fully correct in this tweet.

It was a big deal at the time. I think the better way to read these numbers is that 175 years of compounding population and productivity growth really adds up.

The four principles he states are: (1) opportunity of access, (2) diversity as a driver of our excellence, (3) merit-based decisions, (4) Cornell follows the law.
The whole thing is clear and well-written.

Bluesky does not make it as easy as it should be to see which posts are threads I should click into. Sorry I missed it!

TMTG is seeking an injunction against Moraes to stop him from “compelling any third party” to remove Rumble. That is broader than the relief Google sought and obtained in Equustek, IIRC.

“The history of the present [‘king’] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.”

I argue that we should distinguish four different media functions---broadcast, delivery, hosting, and selection---based on the patterns of speaker-listener connections they enable, and we should regulate them to maximize listeners' ability to choose among competing speakers.
Comments welcome!

This essay was my contribution to an SCLR symposium on The First Amendment and Listener Interests in November. It's a sequel to my earlier Listeners' Choices, and extends the argument there … online.
