I think we’re really going to have to do a lot more of this. A massive deprogramming so that people can read more than ten words at a time without anxiety.

The gentleman from the <checks notes> American Enterprise Institute makes a good point.
Screenshot of text of a WSJ article: Conservative-leaning groups agreed with the aims of the compact but raised concerns about the approach. "Do we really want to wind up with each successive administration blasting out fast-pass conditions for federal research funds and federal aid?" asked Frederick Hess, director of education policy studies at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute.

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess.

The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

Stephanie and Najia started "Deafies for Zohran" to make this movement accessible to their community. They even created a signature hand sign for “Zohran.”

Financial Times: “For decades, more than half of all US soyabeans went to China, the world’s biggest buyer. But this year, as trade talks between Washington and Beijing stall, not a single American soyabean has headed east, leaving farmers struggling to stay afloat.” #EconSky

Thank you to the judges of the #McGraw Prize for this incredible honor--and for this beautiful commissioned kinetic sculpture by Gary Traczyk. The mechanism rotates on a pinpoint--gorgeous and also an apt metaphor for so many things now. (Music by the great Sonny Rollins)
