What to Know About Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ for Gaza

My good friend Vinny and I I have created a new organization in our neighborhood called the Board of Intact Shop Windows. It’s comprised of principled people who care so much about intact shop windows that they’re willing to pay us $1000 a year to be a member. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/w...

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Gorgeous!!

This only happens to you once

Cornell Cut Classes by a Pro-Palestinian Professor After an Israeli Student’s Discrimination Complaint Dr. Eric Cheyfitz, who has taught at Cornell for more than two decades, claims the university is attempting to silence him as part of a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism.
