nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Breaking News: Scientists have been using methods that underestimated how high sea levels already are, a new study found. One result is that hundreds of millions more people are already living dangerously close to the rising ocean than Western scientists had previously estimated.
“More than just being unconstitutional, and very clearly illegal under international law, this war is also morally reprehensible. It's wrong,” says Chris Hayes. “All of this may sound obvious, but it must be said.”
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

A tax economist put his entire life savings into a prediction market bet that DOGE wouldn’t cut spending.
His wife read the Kalshi comments from the people on the other side and grew *more* confident because “they didn’t seem to understand what they were buying.”
He made a 37% return
There are real issues higher ed needs to address, but the outrage porn that you see on social media, Fox, etc. is just not at all typical
Good news: Happy Kevin walks back his call for NY Fed economists to be disciplined.
Bad news: It's bullshit. He says the Fed should stay out of issues like... whether tariffs cause inflation.
But inflation is central to monetary policy!
He's still saying: The regime shall not be contradicted.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
