Democrats agonize over their Texas Senate primary
Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., told Semafor he’s backing James Talarico over Jasmine Crockett. But it’s not clear how many others will choose a side.

so the jobs report flopsweat coming from the WH is at minimum because the annual baseline adjustment is going be brutal.
I would additionally guess that one or both are true:
1) January report very very bad
2) neg baseline adjustment bigger than net job growth for 2025 (almost certain)

About 10 years ago, I set out to better understand the drivers of radicalization and deradicalization into white supremacy. Work from our endeavors is starting to come out, and I am no longer concerned about sharing it.

One of the things Vegan producers have nailed (besides breakfast sausages), is oddly the meat stick. Probably because meat sticks are mostly heavily flavored goop anyway. These taste like middle school. www.theherbivorousbutcher.com/products/a-l...

Probably an inflated number anyway (ahem, "suspected") but this is precisely the result guaranteed by Stephen Miller's quotas. Finding gang members / terrorists is hard, and there aren't many.
But grabbing green card holders & asylum seekers at court hearings & schools is super easy.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Every academic in their 40s goes through this career/life stage where they decide that the journals are broken and stupid. It's mostly because they are bored of working on R+Rs given that the marginal benefit for their own career of another publication is close to zero.
"Academic publishing as it currently exists is dead."
This is probably overstated, but if you're an early-career academic, it's worth taking seriously that tenured Stanford professors who've been working with AI more than most are saying things like this out loud now.

Sorry: Using the 25th amendment to remove Trump (or any president who doesn't want to be removed) just won't work; it's not designed for it, and will just end in chaos. Impeachment/removal remains the way to dump a president. All about the 25th goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/no-dont-in...
No, Not the 25th Amendment.
It wouldn't work. The Constitutional remedy that works is impeachment and removal.
