I still haven’t forgot about their intentional delay & deny tactics from 2.5 years ago, when they fought against covering a diagnostic cardiac catheterization for me.
They put my life on the line for 2 months in order to attempt to save money.
They do not care if people live or die. It’s all $$
Rebecca Sheppard has been unable to fix a glaring error on her credit report, which plunged because of $240K in student loan debt she doesn’t owe.
She’s one of many consumers who’ve struggled to get mistakes resolved under Trump’s CFPB.
Is it too early to pre-order Gen. Caine’s memoir
Nobody under the age of 31 has ever seen a presidential election ballot without Trump as the GOP nominee. A decade and counting in which the only people who became Republicans came into it knowing full well that's what it meant. No small part of why the second term is more extreme than the first.
Pouring one out for the parents who can own a "modest one-bedroom apartment" in NYC to leave their kids. Truly tragic that the city will try and put your intergenerational wealth transfer to public use. Just fucking dying here, thinking about those poor, poor,,,

the left has a serious and growing anti-semitism problem and it is deluded to claim otherwise. it is less serious than the right's growing anti-semitism, but it is still extremely bad.
That White House National Security Strategy document sure was useful. It said the Middle East was no longer a central theater of U.S. strategy, and Iran was not on the same strategic level as China or Russia. The U.S. would avoid American military commitments in the region, letting others lead.
“No for-profit company could possibly withstand all the false leads required by that process,” he recalled telling them, “all the weird, random science that never panned out.”
Super grateful for this piece highlighting the threats to this country’s biomedical research infrastructure
Q: “So, hundreds of millions of dollars in grants were terminated from the NEH. The deficit didn’t change much. And you were paid $150,000 to do that job of reducing the deficit. Do you feel like the $150,000 paid to you was wasteful spending?”
A: *Laughs, frowns….long pause*
Mr. Secretary, you are confused. This is what ICE does to Americans.
It will not happen soon, because the US Navy doesn't have the spare ships and has no intention of risking the ones it does have in a narrow waterway that gives Iran its best opportunity to hit them.

NEWS: The Trump administration is reviewing DACA renewals so slowly that the delays are causing people to lose their jobs, licenses, and deportation protection. It’s happening across the country. Our Sunday story with @lauranrodriguez.bsky.social www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/15/d...
FOX NEWS: If this disruption lasts for months, can the US economy absorb the shock without a recession?
HASSETT: First of all, it's not going to last for months. And if it did last for a long time, it wouldn't really do a lot of harm to the US economy.
We've spent $19 BILLION in TWO WEEKS. For a technology that's already dying. If we spent that much on solar & wind, we could reduce our energy dependency by 12.5% in a year.
We could be pollution-free and have electricity at a quarter of current prices in eight years.
Instead we have war.
In a survey of 1,000 hiring managers, 59% say they emphasize AI’s role in layoffs because it “is viewed more favorably by stakeholders than saying layoffs or hiring freezes are driven by financial constraints.”
Only 9% said AI had fully replaced any roles.

The reason I don't spout opinions about neurosurgery is that I don't know anything about neurosurgery. In fact, I'd look like an moron if I offered my advice on neurosurgery.
Relatedly, here is Bret Stephens writing about military strategy.

I should say that one thing I took from Peter Medawar's writing very earl on (in my highschool years, I guess), is that in science even someone with mediocre talents may discover something truly significant, and change the world. As opposed to the arts,maybe math,were it really pays to be a genius.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
Some of the attacks on the state of Israel are rooted in antisemitism. Some are based on policies the state is pursuing or military campaigns it is waging in the region. It is offensive to compare attacks on the state of Israel to attacks on synagogues, which are always rooted in antisemitism.
People like Abdulwaha are 1) not actually usually left-wing, they're Third Worldist bourgeois nationalists for the most part; and 2) they are constitutionally incapable of being part of a majoritarian coalition. You want them out before they wreck things from the inside.
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
![Tweet from Susan Abulhawa: "Israelis should not feel safe anywhere in the world. I also don't give a shit if people collapse the distinction between zionists from jews—not when 82% [at least] of Jewish Israelis and the same percentage of American Jews support this holocaust. And a high proportion of the ones who don't support it, do so because it's bad for Jews, not necessarily because they're literally exterminating the indigenous people of the land they stole.
Wipe that vile colony from this earth. The only way humanity has a fighting chance at a moral future if this cancer is excised from our political, moral, and social reality."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cmvc2f5b5fou3ijbgagiovlj/bafkreibyjc243nzuywlqohzkb4pzjz6ralv5sujiwbqp5dfjg74ezkfxeu)
The fact that Mamdani criticized Susan Abulhawa - who has pretty definitively crossed the line between anti-Zionism and antisemitism - should be a reason for Jewish organizations to thank him for showing solidarity. But I'm not holding my breath.
Federal staffing cuts under President Trump have severely impacted the ability of agencies to fulfill Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that provide access to public records for journalists, academics, researchers and everyday people.
Whenever I see uncredited cute/amusing/surprising images or videos of dubious provenance doing numbers on here I just reflexively instablock the account that shared them. Hopefully over time it means my feed is less filled with people trying to boost their own accounts using stolen content.
