An exclusive excerpt from ‘Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East’ examines how bank accounts linked the president’s son-in-law—and former sen...

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

How the Consulting Class Is Eating the Democratic Party

Fundraising costs gobble up most of the funds raised. Billions are spent on TV ads that have virtually no impact. Candidates may win or lose—but the consulting class always wins.

"Beyond Cosmopolitanism challenges these assumptions, finding more support for immigration in Europe than many people realize. In fact, there are more Europeans who support immigration than Europeans who oppose immigration."

“…there are more Europeans who support immigration than Europeans who oppose immigration. In addition, support for immigration has grown since the early 2000s, while opposition to immigration has remained constant, or declined, depending on the country.”

"[Far-right successes] largely come from shifting allegiances among people who were already anti-immigration but used to vote for other parties. [...] Xenophobic parties should be taken seriously, but their constituents are a minority, and they are outnumbered by Europeans who are pro-immigration."

Can't wait to read this!

This forthcoming book by @rahsaanmax.bsky.social should be compulsory reading for any commenter on immigration in Europe. Journalists and politicians have a skewed view of public opinion on immigration, overestimating opposition, and underestimating support outside of "Anywheres".

The poetry of the prose is as glorious as ever. But I guess the bite-sized lifestyle has come for us all, because I’m rarely ready for this level of literary sumptuosity these days…

Europe is heading into a super election year in 2027. Those elections will take place against a precarious security backdrop: war in Ukraine and Iran, a retreating US & Europeans increasingly worried about their own security. So shouldn’t this benefit the political centre? Not so fast. 🧵

I am sad to share that Project Implicit, my first non-profit and foundation of my career, is closing. The IAT website will continue, managed by the next generation of leaders in implicit bias research. Here's the statement I posted to LinkedIn. It didn't vibe right as a bsky thread.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

Oh no... Now also Ireland is planning to increase the residence requirement for naturalisation (from 5 to 8 years)?? If this goes through it would be a pretty dramatic move. Justification rests on picking the most restrictive examples across Europe... www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Whether we want to admit it or not, every NFL game is a snuff film. It's long past time fans of the sport faced up to a reality that becomes clearer every day: American football is simply too dangerous. This year, turn off the NFL. Our latest in @theguardian.com @us.theguardian.com.

I wrote this because most journalists facing this pressure can’t. The paper we count on to check authoritarianism spiked an investigation into the Democratic Party because the party’s lawyers threatened to sue. Holding authoritarians accountable starts with holding your own side accountable.
