big papers, particularly the NYT, just *love* stealing a story idea and re-reporting it without credit

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

Mr. Isidro Perez was a 75-year-old Cuban man taken into ICE custody on 6/5/25 after being in the U.S. for 60 years. He had two drug possession convictions in the 80’s. Mr. Perez was hospitalized from 6/17-6/25 and released. He died in ICE custody on June 26th. Completely senseless.

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

Oh no not moved a piece of campus furniture and then put it back…I wonder what other men in leadership were doing back in college???

decided to turn cable news on to see if it’s true and it is: tv anchors really are just interrupting conversations with dems about this bill to ask about zohran mamdani

Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

Personal stories hit different - if you'd be affected by Medicaid cuts, please call and tell your Senators!

Opinion | The progressive left means well, but they come across as painfully out of touch with reality. Here are some prescriptions for them that I jotted down in the charter gondola on the way to the Bezos wedding.

It's URGENT that we hit the phone lines this weekend re: the "Big, Beautiful" Senate bill, especially if you're a constituent of Sen. Paul (KY), Tillis (NC), Johnson (WI), Collins (ME), or Hawley (MO). If you aren't sure what to say, I've drafted a script. www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Instead of piling on and sharing that op-ed that, for some reason, tries to put a silver lining on Trump's slashing of NIH funding, I'm sharing this @propublica.org piece that more accurately demonstrates the vastness of the damage being done to health research.

“We can’t do anything,” Caroline Dias Goncalves' relative said. “We’re scared. We’re not in jail with her, but we feel like it.” Her mom hasn’t stopped crying since she learned her daughter was being held and her dad is pacing constantly.

Just gonna leave this here. www.wweek.com/news/courts/... The worker sued privately. There were protests at the local Marriott. There were no consequences.

If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

BREAKING: Trump just waived dozens of our nation's most important enviro laws to wall off the stunning San Rafael Valley, all while border crossings are at their lowest point in decades. This is a death sentence for jaguars, ocelots & other wildlife. I shot this footage out there last month:

Area Yes Men Stunned As Masterful Gambit Fails To Materialize

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Elon may have killed 320,000 people and counting, but he’s also into austerity, so kind of balances out

Every 7.5 minutes, an American man thinks about the Roman Empire. Albeit now with an increasingly dreadful sense of recognition.

He and his husband were terrorized by homophobes who murdered him, in case you didn't know, which you very understandably might not given the headlines.

new SINNERS theory dropped

Musk isn't a visionary. He's a dipshit with a lousy sense of risk. Yes, the Sun will steadily brighten and in a billion years or so make it too hot for us to live here, but we're already making it too hot for us to live here right now. And Musk is siding with the people bent on making that worse.

Using court documents to study whether sharing the same leaders make firms more likely to collude finds that collusion increases by a factor of 10 after the arrival of a common board member or executive, from Herrera-Caicedo, Jeffers, and Prager https://www.nber.org/papers/w33866

Didn't get the firefighter job simply because I told them I'm pro-fire. These purity tests are divisive and will get us nowhere

The worldview of some of the foremost AI thinkers is terrifyingly utopian. They make an incredible leap that the “abundance” created by their all-powerful tools will naturally lead to a more egalitarian society, rather than more resource-hoarding. www.wired.com/story/google...

Who is going to take care of Mom and Dad? Immigration and Medicaid are critical components of our long term care workforce and strategy Great Op-ed by @amandakreider.bsky.social and @rachelwerner.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/05/30/l...

I respond to AEI’s mischaracterization of three of my papers AND discuss the clear evidence that work requirements don’t increase work, but do reduce food assistance for households that need it.

We've gone from fake "death panels" to "embrace the sweet release from the burdens of life"

New research led by health services policy and management assistant professor David Anderson shows that millions of Marketplace participants face coverage loss due to burdensome reenrollment policies. ow.ly/r7aI50W0MfS #ArnoldSchoolDiscovery ‪@dmaanderson.bsky.social‬

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

How do you devastate an already-fragile system? Target its workers AND its funding. In our @statnews.com op-ed, @rachelwerner.bsky.social and I explore how immigration enforcement & Medicaid cuts will impact millions who depend on long-term care—and what we can do. www.statnews.com/2025/05/30/l...

At the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which ordered its workers back to the office four weeks ago, the $1 limit caused significant problems for those back in the office. www.wired.com/story/federa...
