So we’ll subsidize getting a big salary, but not things of social value that don’t drive big salary.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2w agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/PzUDagM

The interesting question is how did you remain a libertarian?
Cato Institute@cato.org · 3w agoHow did you become a libertarian? We sat down with 10 scholars and staff at the Cato Institute—with different origin stories, areas of expertise, and concerns—to find out how they came to libertarianism, what gives them hope, and what they would fix first if they could. https://ow.ly/ObOn50Zp4W9
I'm looking around and thinking that the dissolution of the republic is not the worst of all possible outcomes.
Adam Gurri@adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com · 3w agoI just listened to a panel with David French and someone from the Brennan Center vociferously argue against expanding the Court. French said it would lead to “the dissolution of the republic.” About a third of the audience applauded. We need to get a policy culture that’s willing to do what it takes
Is the US led order in the room with us now?
Foreign Affairs@foreignaffairs.com · 3w ago“China’s rise has not happened outside the systems its rivals built, but through Beijing’s skillful exploitation of them,” write Enrico Fardella and @radchenko.bsky.social. China’s continued success therefore “depends on the U.S.-led order.”
Whoopsie, I tried to defraud the country of $2B. My bad.

Graham Platner had a 20 minute call with Mitch McConnell this evening. The Senator advised him to hang in there and let it blow over.
Today we’re declaring we lack even a smattering of insight.
End Citizens United@endcitizensunited.bsky.social · last mo.Today, we're rescinding our endorsement of Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner and calling on him to immediately withdraw from the race. See the full statement below.
Bluesky feature request. Let me make a note or a copy of a post when I block someone jackwagon.
“Well Doug, judges have been questioning the presumption of regularity all over the country because your prosecutors keep bringing bogus affidavits.”
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · last mo.“I’m not sure why you keep questioning it” Oh, that’s an easy one, Doug. She’s not in the cult like you are.
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

We already have Presidential immunity, there can be no more surprises.
Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · last mo.I can’t bring myself to be too celebratory. This should have been a 9-0 slam dunk. My main takeaway is that there are currently 4 votes to undo a longstanding constitutional guarantee that 15 years ago seemed beyond any serious question.
The problem with this isn't that it's stupid, it's that he's telling another lie. Because people don't use their insurance they are fraudulent sign-ups? My son is in his 20's and hasn't been to the Dr. in YEARS.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"
These Jack wagons have been manufacturing this concern a decade. Why doesn’t somebody in the press ever put that in their face?
Literally every word out of this dude’s mouth is a lie
David Higham@oldtrotter.bsky.social · last mo.Extraordinary detail in the new book on Trump's second term administration
![After they wrapped up their research, the authors sat down with Trump to check their facts. He drifted on to why his "love affair" with Venezuela went back to his years of owning the Miss Universe pageant, which featured many beautiful Venezuelans. What he really wanted to relate was a conversation he had had with a historian whose verdict was that Trump was "without question, the most powerful man the planet [had] ever known - by a long way." The historian had sent Trump a two-page memo from which he read. "If President Trump is the American Eagle, then William the Conqueror was merely a sparrow." Curious about the identity of the historian, Swan tracked down a golf caddie in Florida, who confessed a passion for history.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oo3kppddak7qrhuyzgvozldb/bafkreibchgnag7b7tavmaa237lgtstno4hjjlnvw3kyh6lh6eewvnxbm3m)
