I know pay equity is rightly taking up all the airtime tonight but 3/6 of the newly announced members of the Science and Technology Council have backgrounds in dairy specifically? No disrespect to the individuals in question but that's just embarrassing for us as a country

This is why retrospective laws are objectionable in principle. Law must be prospective so you can plan your life according to it. Which is what claimant groups, employers, and public servants have done for years. All in the bin in under 24 hours. Millions of dollars worth of work on all sides.

When I called a few weeks ago, @duckworth.senate.gov’s staff told me she would no longer vote for any Trump appointments. I don’t appreciate being directly lied to by my senator.

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

Two incredible talents without need of embellishment. The sheer quality of those vocal performances. That perfect understated audio. This duet could be a fable on how far we've gone backwards to get to where we are today.

Incredible scoop! Career officials inside the Trump administration first viewed the case of Mr. Abrego like any normal case of a wrongful deportation — they began looking for ways to bring him back, as happens normally when ICE makes mistakes. Then the White House got involved, and blew it up.

This must be that carefully negotiated ceasefire proving what a dominant deal-maker the President is that involved bending Putin to his will, or maybe it was a scam to steal rare earth metals from Ukraine for nothing in return. Experts differ.

Look at Williams’ past posts in this story. They’re vile. He is not well placed to be prosecuting anyone else’s social media. And yet he got away with precisely that. Looking forward to Audrey Young’s rationalisation of it all.

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show. But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

Imagine, for the sake of argument, if pre-WWII USA told Albert Einstein, Max Born, Edward Teller et al "We don't want you here because we fret about a lack of housing and despite having oceans of fiscal space we don't want to invest because we don't like smart foreign people". Dumb, dumb, dumber.

One thing that is clear from these headlines is that the big news orgs don't have a vocabulary or strategy for how to report to readers when the President claims to do something he not only lacks authority to do but even the power to do. That's a very basic, foundational thing.
