New, from @pamherd.bsky.social & I: An emerging conventional wisdom is that universities should abandon federal dollars since it gives Trump a means to strong-arm them. But breaking the federal-university research partnership would have high societal costs. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/are-univer...

"What's gonna happen to the elite DC/NY media narrative on DEI?" Nothing, because that media narrative never had anything to do with broader public anxiety about "DEI", and everything to do with elite DC/NY media anxieties about the presence of non-white, non-male colleagues.

Good piece from @davekarpf.bsky.social spelling out the connection between Trump’s ActBlue push with the of mass 2026 disenfranchisement. “If Trump’s DOJ can hound ActBlue out of operation, then it can and will do the same to any smaller, less-experienced alternative that takes its place.”

Once again we see that AI is not "revolutionary" - it's a technology to accelerate doing existing things, and almost exclusively the things it's accelerating are crimes, scams, and negligence. Defrauding the government out of public moneys isn't new but AI is making it easier than ever before.

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!

Wow, this is the first time we've heard this number. Previous reporting suggested it was $6 million. So now it's $15 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to imprison people in El Salvador without trial.

The Census Bureau collects/funds all sorts of data collection researches rely on including the American Community Survey, the Current Population Survey, and Survey of Income and Program Participation. It will be considerably harder to say anything substantive about policy without those.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Worth highlighting the last bit here: "federal programs to stop kids from being poisoned are not waste, fraud, or abuse." If it's Congress's role to "lay and collect taxes ... and provide for the General Welfare," they need to step up and do their Constitutional duty.

If the federal government can take people into custody, deny them 5th and 6th Amendment rights (which apply to all people, not just citizens), and ship them to prison in a foreign country and not return them, that would be a loophole big enough to nullify all personal 5th and 6th Amendment rights.
