So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Prices are rising nationwide and Trump’s gaslighting everyone about why. His tariffs and failed policies are driving costs up. He’s spent $200 billion more in his first 100 days than the same period last year, delivering less to Americans at a greater cost.

A late note on Judge Howell’s ruling striking down the Perkins Coie exec order. Key point is in 1st sentence: “No American President has ever before issued executive orders like the [this] one.” Trump apologists can change the subject or stay silent, but can’t deny she’s right. ... 1/10

Let's talk about mine safety real quick. There have been 12 mine fatalities so far in 2025. In the same period in 2024, there were 5. So while the administration is making cuts at MSHA and delaying the implementation of the much-needed silica rule, the number of miners dying has more than doubled.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

I'm listening in on the Perkins Coie hearing in DDC. (I made it onto the call!) Judge Howell is just recapping where everything is at - 3 pending motions, she hasn't ruled on sections 2 and 4 previously, so she's going to focus on that.
