@kateconger.com surely you recognize this as a problem, right? Headlines have to convey the nub of the article. If it's that "Trump has lost his marbles," that's what the headline should say, perhaps toned down slightly, but not watered down beyond recognition or ignored completely.

Putting this out there for mainstream media (you know, @nbcnews.com, @cbsnews.com, @pbsnews.org, etc). If the regime was a local police dept, its "pattern and practice" would have it under a consent decree (well, if DOJ was normal). Thx to @jenrubin.bsky.social. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

I think about investing in REITs (or REIT ETFs) on occasion, but the destruction of the single family rental market by private equity has me leary of the non-commercial REIT sector. What's good for me might well be bad for society as a whole. www.investopedia.com/passive-inco...

"This is what we were voting for!" From a friend in academia: >>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<< Great work.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social took an early night last night but succinctly summarized three key issues from Trump's week: no longer publishing his speeches (non-transparent), erratic behavior (e.g., tariffs) & abandoning his most loyal voters (FEMA & Western NC). open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

1/ As promised, a 🧵on an interview with Richard Webby at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. He's been studying avian influenza viruses since they first started popping up in people nearly three decades ago. The article is behind a pay wall, so that's why I'm making a 🧵about it.

If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

Let's say this horrible "big beautiful bill" passes the Senate and is signed into law. Could states not send that portion of taxes collected equal to, say, their reduction in SNAP funding?

It's Target's and Walmart's business how they want to respond to Trump's tariff regime. Heaven knows I'm no big fan of these big box stores, but they didn't start this fight. #tariffs www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...

If it wasn't a politically motivated stunt, there would have been no social media post. There might have been a press conference outlining the charges. After that, it would have been "no comment." I wouldn't be at all surprised to find Habba discussing the case on Fox News.

What is a "deficit hawk" is in the context of the current Republican party? Catie Edmondson of @nytimes.com classifies people like Paul Gosar, Lauren Boebert and others as such. Aren't they more properly considered political bomb throwers? Temper Tantrum Caucus? 🤷 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/b...
