It’s always time to demand ship money.

It’s called getting an MBA, and it’s too late for us.

Nothing like accidentally subtweeting :)

I hope I never become massively controversial because it is so easy to take unflattering photos of my face. I do not need my feed to remind me what I look like.

Fuck it, I'm ordering Rivendell.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

I hope someone writes a good book explaining WTH went on with Tesla stock this decade. Can’t make anything of it.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Just wanted to let you know that someone is reading this. Thank you :)

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

"A Vast Domestic Terror Movement" Trump Prepares to Dismantle the Left

Vance, Trump, and Bondi each said things yesterday that were horrifying on their own. Taken together, a very clear roadmap for the future emerges

Trump is actively preparing a large-scale crackdown on left-wing dissent. The threat of widescale repression is no longer abstract; it is imminent

This will literally kill babies.

Surely Democrats could make firing RFK Jr. a shutdown demand. The public would love it.

Reality TV would disagree with you.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

The true leftists are the friends we made along the way.

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

Found it. It is as described. It appears that the shots were fired after the vehicle had traveled a substantial distance from the agents.

One of the eligible factors is “depression.” That should cover most of the legal field and anyone following events at HHS.

Then hold up government funding until he does.

I maintain that this is the most productive thing they’ve been asked to do in DC.

There are also some potholes on Skokie Blvd that they could look at.

Trump is welcome to deploy the National Guard to Chicago for the limited purpose of speeding up the construction on the Kennedy. /s

What it's like to be a Middle East Studies professor in 2025 Basically, it sucks. Last week, Tuft's Dan Drezner and my GW colleague Dave Karpf published really good pieces on what it's like to be, respectively, a dean of international affairs and a professor o...

What it’s like to be a Middle East Studies Professor in fall 2025 - my new post surveys the field, and my colleagues.

Basically it sucks and it’s getting worse. But we haven’t given up.
