For nearly 15 years, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein socialized in New York and Florida before a falling out that preceded Epstein’s first arrest. What seemed to draw them together, according to those who knew them at the time, was a common interest in hitting on — and competing for — young women.

Denaturalization is a tactic heavily used during the McCarthy era and one that was expanded during the Obama administration and grew further during President Trump's first term. It's a tool usually used in only the most serious and rare of cases: dealing with Nazis or war criminals.

“Who’s calling?” Trump asked when he answered our call one morning in late March. (It was a fair question; it could have been almost anyone.) My story w @michaelscherer.bsky.social, on the Secret History of Trump's private cell phone. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Das Absurde an der Debatte in Deutschland ist, dass Trumps Rechtsbruch-Ankündigungen mehr Empörung auslösen als ein deutscher Innenminister, der offen sagt, er will sich nicht ans Recht und ein Gerichtsurteil halten.

FINALLY! The dysfunctional far-right government Schoof has effectively fallen, after Wilders pulled his party from the coalition. Importantly, this happens as his PVV is in a (free) fall and centrist parties PvdA/GL-CDA-D66 are polling at 40% together. But is VVD still liberal democratic party?

[The F.T.C.’s new chairman] Mr. Ferguson has said the spending pullbacks amount to illegal boycotts. “Drying up the advertising will dry up the idea, so the risk of an advertiser boycott is a pretty serious risk to the free exchange of ideas,” he said at a conference last month. 🤡

The FTC is investigating advertising and advocacy groups for boycotting X due to lack of content moderation as violations of antitrust law. The government is now penalizing companies for not wanting their ads to show up next to hate speech.

DOGE’s intense scrutiny of federal spending is forcing employees to spend hours justifying even the most basic purchases. New rules mandating review and approval by political appointees are leaving thousands of contracts and projects on ice for months.

DOGE vowed to make government more ‘efficient’ — but it’s doing the opposite

New procedures and requirements — some implemented in the name of improving operations — are slowing down federal agencies.

I'm generally into the migration from passwords to magic links, but if you're going to go that direction you should offer passkey access so that people can still enjoy the convenience of their password manager.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

quote on a dark blue and purple background from Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), criticizing proposed cuts to science funding in the FY26 U.S. federal budget. The quote reads: “If enacted, the FY26 budget request would end America’s global scientific leadership. The cuts to science would imperil our nation’s future health, security and prosperity. This budget proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s call for a renewed commitment to American scientific leadership. Congress has demonstrated a bipartisan commitment to investment in research and must do so again to answer the President’s call.” The quote is attributed to Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of AAAS and Executive Publisher of the Science family of journals. The AAAS logo appears at the bottom right.
