In the last few days, I have passed two young men wearing Playboy shirts around campus. I’m assuming they read it for the articles.

Once again, today would be a good day for all the Ivy League, Big Ten, & other R1 university presidents & chancellors to get themselves to DC & on national television & start holding daily, collective press conferences to speak out against the all-out fascist assault on US higher education.

I know there are good reasons to look askance at facile concepts like “male loneliness epidemic,” but it’s hard to listen to Jason Isbell’s latest album and not imagine all the things it has to say to millions of lonely American men. (Can I write about this or did someone beat me to it?)

Any Senate Democrat who votes for cloture should have to spend time at schools across D.C. answering questions about why they care so little about the lives of D.C. residents.

All voters look for showmanship, guts, and a sense that this candidate is fighting for YOU. I’m not sure why some Dem politicians think “we find acceptable middle ground with feudalists” is a better pitch

Not to like toot my own horn but every time I bring up tariffs on the radio I define them: "tariffs are taxes American businesses pay to import goods from abroad." Given all the lies and the fact that many Americans didn't take international economics 101, I encourage others to do this as well.

Even without a spike from tariffs, the cost of car ownership (gas, insurance, maintenance, and the car itself) jumped 44% from 2007 to 2023. (Source: www.bts.gov/content/aver...) Americans pay a massive surcharge for living in a car-dependent nation.

Your imposter syndrome should have died laughing at this point. You're doing great. You didn't author a bill to rename Greenland "Red, White, and Blueland." You can do anything.
