I'm just acknowledging that I still have a juvenile sense of humor and I need these chuckles.

Who nose what goes on in the Trump White House?

I mean, who knows. Or whose nose?

I think we'd all rather not know. Or nose.

I was assuming this was some new and odd garden path sentence construction example.

But nope. It appears to mean exactly what it says. I guess Trump is picking the guy who picked other people's noses?

Sucking faster and more productively leads to pay increases! More likely to get invited to do TedTalks. Then the talk show circuit. And finally selling out everyone and everything to get the big payouts for becoming a right-wing talking head.

Or they are excluding some people from being considered human.

Either way, it’s horrific.

Evidence that if you have a good narrative and repeatedly tie info to the narrative, you can change minds.

Democrats can have better immigration policies, laws, and narratives.

But they have to turn away from trying to be republicans but slightly less cruel.

Official Congress to Constituent messaging on immigration and ICE is coming more from Democrats than Republicans in 2026.

This is notable because historically, Republicans have "owned" or mostly controlled this narrative through consistency and repetition.

Ok, so just shuffling the money around.

Maybe - and I know this is so crazy - but maybe Democrats should just go out and campaign against Trump and his policies bc they are massively unpopular and start worrying more about being seen as insufficiently tough and less about how to be a somewhat Republicany Democrat. Just a thought.

Maybe we can imagine republican primaries and runoffs as a type of taxation on billionaires.

I’d rather they actually pay taxes that benefit people overall. But hey, they are throwing away some money. Just not enough.

Would love to see people enthused to vote and believing their votes will matter.

I will be curious of Jasmine Crocket’s goal of expanding the number who vote is a winning strategy.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Admin about the war in Iran.

I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

Anything you would take as good news?

Is it paranoid or rational to imagine that Trump and crew will try to use wars they’re starting as justifying declaring emergency powers and attempts to stop elections?

Asking for a friend.

(Ok, asking for me. Wondering if this is rational or just feels rational.)

It’s because it disrupts sleep and this cognition. No one can figure this out.

This isn't impacting the budget.

This is a great argument in favor of the income tax. Anything to slow AI. Anything to reduce income inequality. Anything to make billionaires slightly less comfy.

Two things I love about this.

First, he is sitting in front of a home bar apparently.

Second, it was all of 16 months ago.

Entire university administrations are clamoring to jump on the bandwagon.

What cliff?

If it is a bandwagon, we should count on business schools to be the first to jump on. And major corporations re the ones driving the bandwagon.

Should we consider where the bandwagon is headed?

All of the above. Who can really concentrate in this context?

Feeling pretty good riding bikes and driving an EV.

Maybe we should support more renewable energy and EV adoption? More public transit and bike infrastructure?

Or we could start wars that will spike oil prices and benefit the oil companies and billionaires.

A quick reminder that our Student Research Grant deadline is at the end of the month!

I made this monster of a chart to show the partisan split of the early/abs vote in the TX primary by age/race/gender.

You can see why Republicans must be worried about what they're seeing in the turnout data.

Another study finds that people judge political misinformation based on their own political beliefs. Since very few people actually fact-check, politicians can make unverified claims because most voters won’t check them or hold them accountable.
