Trump and Musk are building a new spoils system When ideological targeting becomes cronyism

New, from me: Trump and Musk are engaged in a broad-based downsizing of government, using that downsizing to selectively target their enemies, while expanding their political power by trading exceptions to the downsizing.

It's a new spoils systems. ๐Ÿงต

Today would be yet another good day for university presidents to loudly, collectively, & publicly start defending our institutions & industry. The silence is deafening & frankly, incomprehensible. What exactly are you waiting for? How many Columbias, Maines, & Johns Hopkins will it take?

Extraordinary conversation with a young man living with a disability, and how these cuts are risking all his care.

And a reminder that all of us - you, me, everyone you love - will need care at some point.

As Trump warms to Putin, U.S. halts offensive cyber operations against Moscow Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to pause cyber and information operations against Russia as Trump seeks to bring Putin to the negotiating table to end war in Ukraine.

SecDef has ordered a pause on offensive cyber and info operations while the US & Moscow are in talks, though planning for operations continues, according to sources. While such a pause is not unusual, the move comes as Trump accommodates Putin in his designs on Ukraine.

It's time to stand up and speak out.

Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your representatives to not let Donald Trump and his administration take away your services.

The Budget Blueprint Is No 'Big, Beautiful Bill' At best, itโ€™s a concept of a plan. But then theyโ€™ll try to spin it to voters.

The House GOP just passed a draconian budget resolution, but despite GOP misinformation, this is just a blueprint, not a final bill. That means thereโ€™s still time to push back against proposed Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Hereโ€™s what you need to know. ๐Ÿ‘‡

New York's (de)congestion pricing, which charges $9 to drive into Manhattan below 60 St, has reduced traffic, increased ridership, reduced subway crime, and is raising funds to fix the decaying transit system. Rare for a public policy to have this many benefits!
