Great, thank you very much for that context!

I'm confused. That's a 10-minute mile. I run >20 miles/week and bike more, but a 10 minute mile is hard for me to sustain after mile 3. Is it 6 mph for a 100 meter sprint or for an hour? There are people who run a Half without stopping that are slower than 6mph and I would consider in good shape.

How does one diagnose a "congenital liar"...?

EXXXactly

But only because the Chiefs were 8-0 last year.

It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it

NEWS: In the foreign aid funding case (involving impoundment), the D.C. Circuit panel — of Henderson, Katsas, Pan — amended their opinion — storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... — and the full DC Circuit court, in light of that, denied en banc review. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

156. Federalizing the California National Guard President Trump's Saturday night "memorandum" federalizing 2000 California National Guard troops is a tentative step toward abusing authorities for domestic use of the military, but a dangerous one.

Via "One First," my quick write-up of President Trump's "Presidential Memorandum" purporting to federalize 2000 California National Guard troops; the relevant legal authorities for doing so; and how the move is both a modest *and* dangerous escalation of what's going on in and around Los Angeles:

WATCH: Dr. Kevin Hall is departing NIH after 21 years at his “dream job.” He says his research findings were being censored under RFK Jr.

"What is it going to be like if they want to start actually meddling in the research itself?"

Leading Nutrition Scientist Departs N.I.H., Citing Censorship Kevin Hall said his work on ultraprocessed foods has been “hobbled” under the Trump administration. Scientists have been raising such concerns for months.

We interviewed Kevin Hall for our recent ep on nutrition science history, he was brilliant. His research is fascinating, his approach open/curious, his work meticulously designed. He's open to being wrong, explains limitations. We finished the call wishing he ran HHS. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

Dude - chill. I'm not defending these people. Just trying to ground myself. Sheesh.

I hear you, we just disagree. I think bullying and fuzzy math are the policy levers to accomplishing their policy goals. I just think their policy goals are myopic and their logic based on a faulty view of the world. But I do understand them, even if I couldn't possibly disagree more with them.

Yeah, dig into it. The US already applies either antidumping duties or countervailing duties on relevant goods (including some from Vietnam). So we were already trying to create an even playing field for US producers in the domestic market. Which is one reason why this 👏 whole👏thing👏is👏CRAZY

I don't think Musk's companies get subsidies to export goods at an artificially low price. I thought his companies (along with others) received subsidies to provide goods to US consumers at reduced prices until the market becomes competitive. But could be ignorant on this one!

I'm no fan of this situation, the policies make no sense, it's tyrannical, etc. But, I do want to push back on that perspective because subsidizing industry to artificially deflate prices to improve terms of trade is not good economic policy, no matter the country and no matter the trading partner.

Actually, sorry, let me roll that back. I agree that tariffs have nothing to do with dumping. But, if Lutnick agrees with the perspective that tariffs are a negotiation tool, then [assuming rational humans] they're not asking for 0 TARIFFS, they're asking for 0 SUBSIDIES to remove the new tariffs.

I agree. I'm just trying to find some logic to anchor myself in this hellscape.

I don't think that's quite correct. US Trade law allows for setting anti-dumping and countervailing duties on goods that are artificially deflated in price by government subsidy. Vietnam (and *shocker* China) are is a known "dumper." I think they're trying to force elimination of the subsidies.

I think he's referring to the government subsidies Vietnam pays key industries to be able to provide goods abroad at an artificially low price. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter....

Pretty sure that this is the first time a “One First” post has been cited in a judicial opinion—here, in Judge Thacker’s concurrence in the Fourth Circuit’s denial of the government’s stay request in Abrego García:
