Trump: I'm so disappointed with President Putin. I thought he would get this thing over with… He should have had this war done in a week. And I said to him: You don't look good. You've been four years fighting a war that should have taken a week. Are you a 'paper tiger'? And… it's a shame.

Trump to generals: "Canada called me a couple weeks ago. They want to be a part of it. To which I said, 'Well, why don't you just join our country. Become the 51st state. And you get it for free!' So I don't know if that made a big impact but it does make a lot of sense."

Trying hard to moderate my Maia Sandu fangirling right now, but I gotta stress she's accomplished something no EEuropean reformist ever has: brought a fugitive oligarch back to face justice AND fended off massive Ru interference to win a referendum and two re-elections (parliamentary+presidential)!

There is no legitimate reason for this request; USDA already has the data. It's inexplicable beyond (1) a fig leaf to simply make people go hungry because cruelty is fun and/or (2) a deliberate effort to imperil personal data security and thereby increase fraud / identity theft.

Viktor Orbán's propaganda machine released a pseudo-report dismissing all Jean Monnet professors as "propagandists."

1. We're funded to study EU integration, not promote it

2. Many Jean Monnet scholars are among the EU's sharpest critics - including myself

3. Funding goes to universities not us

Lots of handwringing over this every year or so, but I am unconvinced that there is any explanation needed other than the prevalence of male-dominated industries that pay well and do not require a degree.

The gender gap in higher education has been widening for decades. Do universities need to do more to entice men back?

More or less what you would get if you told a large language model to make pro-Trump fascist imagery (maybe what happened, TBH). Almost cartoonishly fascist; no mystery about what's going on here. Again, these are being promoted by the government that is in power right now.

Honestly this feels like a constitutional crisis.
*Powell needs to issue a quick statement pushing back.
*Will Trump try to use force to bar Cook from working?
*Assuming we get to litigation, will SCOTUS fold and go along with Trump's for "cause" rationale?

New data shows No Kings was one of the largest days of protest in US history
The historic number of No Kings protesters and their expansive geographic spread are signs of a growing and durable pro-democracy movement.

My coauthors @lesja.bsky.social @karenguzzo.bsky.social & I have a new piece in @theconversation.com , which offers insights into why most demographers do NOT think there is a current fertility crisis and the panic about population decline is unwarranted.

Fears that falling birth rates in US could lead to population collapse are based on faulty assumptions
While the changes in population structure that accompany low birth rates are real, the impact of these changes has been dramatically overstated.
