I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Honestly very difficult to figure out who is more corrupt between Trump and FIFA, it’s a real game respect game situation lol

Great recommendation. He hasn’t read it, but I think he’d love it. Thanks!

How Biden Ignored Warnings and Lost Americans’ Faith in Immigration

This is extremely irresponsible reporting. There is no “border crisis” other than the one we’ve imagined.

Immigrants are an economic + social asset by almost every measure. The solution is to welcome more + make it easier for them to come, not increase enforcement.

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Voices: Those of us with Type 1 diabetes need co-pay caps now. We can’t afford to sit and wait. “To ensure no Type 1 diabetic is left behind, Congress must pass a nationwide insulin co-pay cap now that protects all patients, not just those with state-regulated insurance,” writes Addison Burnsed in an op-ed.

Every sentence here is even crazier than the last.

Not an Inter Miami fan, but watching Messi set up exciting young(er) players is a lot of fun. (Certainly better than watching Suarez.)

A gorgeous day for some college football.

I gift my brother-in-law a book each year for Christmas. He prefers modern (mid-to-late 20c) political books + biographies. He’s gone through Caro, Pearlstein, etc. Last year, I got him Ganz’s When The Clock Broke.

Any recommendations for this year?

I am so incredibly sorry, Jamie. Sending love and strength.

It’s time to stop worshipping the liberal arts | Letters Letters: While such institutions have intrinsic value, that doesn’t mean they are entitled to be socially favoured or economically exceptional for ever, says Jianyang Geng

Who, pray tell, is worshipping the liberal arts? Where is the mythical university alluded to here where STEM and business courses are criticized and somehow disincentivized by those in power?

An important thread.

Huh. It’s *almost* like Pochettino knew what he was doing giving these MLS guys call ups for the last year. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My partner has now joined us. When Bud Bailyn appeared, I explained that he was Richard Bushman’s advisor (Richard is a friend who officiated at our wedding). “He’s Richard’s advisor?!! How old is he??!!” 😂

Missed last night’s group watch of episode 1 of PBS’s The American Revolution but am now watching with my 14yo, who is geeking out as much as I am.

Coming January 2026: Reunion: A Podcast about Family Histories.

@jstuart.bsky.social and I have been hard at work reading books and recording and editing episodes for this, and we can't wait to share it with you!

Additional info, including a separate feed, subscription link, + guest lineup, TBA.

I really enjoyed this. I was disappointed to not find the book for sale in the U.S., though.

No lies detected.

My 14yo just asked for my help creating a PowerPoint about the French + Indian War.

We went so far beyond the material provided to her to base it on and her (excellent) teacher is not going to know what hit him.

‘Extreme’ gerrymander: Utah judge rejects GOP lawmakers’ congressional map, picks districts favoring Democrats A Utah judge rejected new congressional boundaries proposed by Republican lawmakers, instead choosing a map that will create a heavily Democratic-leaning district in Salt Lake County.

This is a huge win for Utahns and means that at least one of the state’s 4 congressional districts will be in play for Democrats next year.

This won’t get the headlines NYC and Virginia and New Jersey are getting, but the local results of yesterday’s elections in Salt Lake County (which includes both blue SLC and purple and red suburbs) seem significant.

Today in my Family + Law in American history class, we were scheduled to begin discussing immigration law. And then I learned BYU was hosting a naturalization ceremony at the exact time as our class, so we moved class here instead.

Few things remind me what I love about America as much as this.

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

Local elections matter.

(Go Jays, btw. My childhood best friend is their Minor League hitting coach, and has worked with/mentored several of the guys on the big league roster.)

My attitude toward game 7 of the World Series:

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”
