ICE agents assault amNewYork reporter at Federal Plaza immigration court; another journalist seriously injured after shove | amNewYork ICE agents assaulted amNewYork's own Dean Moses, and allegedly attacked another journalist, on Tuesday morning as they were documenting the ongoing arrests of

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

How do you manage through [waves hands all around] *all this*?

That's the topic of a (free!) online webinar that I'm running Tuesday from 1-2pm Eastern.

It's a pilot for the idea of monthly webinars for managers, and I would love to see you there.

My dearest Martha, I send you all my love from this war-torn ravaged place, where our hardships surpass comprehension. Yesterday, a barista gave me a whole milk latte when I specifically ordered skim. Later, a young woman with strangely colored hair glanced at me disapprovingly.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

β€œThe president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

Stephen Miran has outlined his case for massive rate cuts. The logic is utterly torturedβ€”and bizarre.

One explanation: He’s the president’s messenger. Another: He thinks his career benefits from flattering power. A third: He’s inhaled too many White House talking points. None inspire confidence.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

Step 1: Cut funding for food stamps
Step 2: Stop measuring hunger
Step 3: There's no evidence cuts to food stamps led to a rise in hunger

The White House may call it deregulation, but in reality, it's replacing written rules with unwritten rules. (Rule 1: "Don't upset the President.") It's swapping transparent, tested rules for secret, shifting ones. One set serves the public interest, the other reflects the President's whims.

Think of an economy as like baking a cake. H1-B visas exist so that if you're out of a specific ingredient, you can Instacart it and keep baking. Add a $100k delivery charge and you'll choose to:
1. Quit baking; or
2. Use an inferior recipe; or
3. Import cake instead of making it

Normally it’s one or the other: weak growth or rising inflation. But tariffs gave us both. Welcome to the economics of supply shocks and stagflation.

Coalition denial makes Labor seem reasonable on climate – but neither is ambitious enough | Zoe Daniel Treasury estimates a β€˜disorderly’ energy transition would result in an Australian economy that’s $1.2tn smaller. Neither major party has the policies to prevent that

β€œCoalition is making it easy for the govt to look reasonable, by again disputing the settled moral & scientific arguments about climate. It’s as if they don’t realise such discredited obscurantism has helped cost them 2 elections – each time by a greater margin”
