1. There was no adversity (court said so); So there is no settlement. 2. The court ruled plaintiff = defendant. You can't have a contract with yourself. So there is no contract. 3. Even if there is a contract, it is illegal under IRC 7217; Courts generally don't enforce illegal contracts.

Investors are bubbled-addled, so they’ve been slow to realize that the Fed is compromised. It’s doubly so: 1. A habitually hawkish Warsh will lean artificially dovish to please Trump. 2. He’s in the grip of a Markets Uber Alles ideology that is, plainly, not competent. To recap:

FT's Robert Armstrong: Warsh’s description of his communications policy is nonsense. Unless Warsh (and the rest of us) get lucky, this will become a bigger problem over time. Warsh’s forward guidance omertà: I don’t believe it can last for ever. www.ft.com/content/fe3f...

Grift has always played a big role in right wing politics in the US, but MAGA is really taking it to extraordinary new lows:

1/ This is Nick Adams. He’s a big deal in MAGA world. He’s got 638K followers on X and 2.1M on Facebook. President Trump even appointed him to a role at the State Dept. But when I started digging into Adams' nonprofit for "civics" education, something didn't look right ... 🧵

I, for one, am going to miss Douthat. I probably disagreed with him 97% of the time. He often pissed me off, especially when he pretended not to have a view on the thing he was writing about. But he's a genuine weirdo and that made him a good, surprising columnist.

In this story, we're also revealing some more of the ~400 celebrities who were designated as some sort of "risk" in MSG's talent database. They include: * Elliot Page * Jamie Foxx * F1 driver Lewis Hamilton * Simu Liu * “Real Housewife” Ubah Hassan * Achraf Hakimi from Morocco’s World Cup team.

EXCLUSIVE: Madison Square Garden's sprawling surveillance system can monitor guests down to the second. MSG boss Jim Dolan recently made a major exception—for Taylor Swift. I reviewed the internal memo locking MSG security staff out of their own surveillance network. www.wired.com/story/for-ta...

INBOX: the last dedicated science reporter at The Wall Street Journal, @aylinwoodward.bsky.social, has left the newsroom. This came after the Murdoch-owned newspaper dissolved its Health and Science Bureau last October. NPR, CBS, and WaPo also gutted their climate desks in the last eight months.

After nearly five incredible years, The Journal's last remaining dedicated science reporter (that's me!) has left WSJ. Following the dissolution of the miraculous Health & Science Bureau last October, myself and a small numbers of others worked hard to continue our former team's legacy, but the time has finally come for me to move on. I am deeply grateful for all of the opportunities this publication -- and the journalist community I met there -- has given me. From stories about T. rex lips to primate booze problems to shrinking brains, to Nobel Prize and NASA mission coverage, Jane Goodall's obituary, winter storm, volcano and wildfire smoke stories, I left no scientific stone unturned, working constantly to inspire curiosity and wonder in Journal readers during times of increasing turmoil and challenge. I met some of my closest friends, wrote for two of the most phenomenal editors I'll ever have the privilege of working with, saw Evan come home, and learned (in retrospect, naturally) the gift it is to be on a team of professional nerds who drive the cutting edge of health and science journalism in America while uplifting each other and their craft. Well, this is your counterprogramming kid signing off. Not sure where I'll end up next, but don't be strangers y'all. In the meantime, I'll be coaching roller derby across the U.S., South America and Europe!
