Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
He will continue teaching.

Trump's tariffs are probably cooked, but the conservative justices are going to be very careful to preserve what matters most: their power to invent sharp limits on executive power next time a Democrat is in the White House
The Conservative Justices Are Keeping the Major Questions Doctrine For Themselves
The six-justice conservative supermajority can both strike down Trump’s tariffs and preserve its power to veto future Democratic policies it doesn’t like.

The entire Republican Party strategy for achieving what are comprehensively & wildly unpopular policy objectives now consists entirely of bypassing Article I of the Constitution through wildly illegal abuses of both Article II and Article III.
Whatever you think about CFPB, it was created by Congress (as part of the Dodd-Frank Act) and can only be abolished by Congress, not by the President acting as a dictator.

They use "Free Speech" the same way they use "Pro-Life."
They're not pro-life on healthcare, guns, Covid, the death penalty, or war.
And they're not in favour of free speech when it’s Muslims, migrants, teachers, or protesters.

Their proposition is that people can live in America as long as they submit to white Christian male dominance, as long as they don’t challenge the prevailing power and sensibilities of what they define as “real America.” Don’t deviate. If you do, you’ll have to accept lesser status - or worse.
