This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first.
Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

Despite Elon Musk's claim that the foreign aid freeze hasn't killed anyone yet, Nick Kristof finds ample evidence to the contrary.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Democratic leaders need to draw the line

Grotesquely wealthy people (for some unknown reason) would like to take away whatever benefits you have. And yet there is no possible way they can even spend the money they already have.

I've been seeing a lot of people on the left and right talking about the 2024 election as if it was a landslide.
So I made this chart to put things in context.
Trump's win was one of the smallest in modern history.
