Here’s why that’s bad news for Joe Biden.

It’s important to remember that the Men in Black was an independent agency and wouldn’t be constitutional under current Supreme Court precedent. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

Today is the official release date for my new book, First Among Equals: Visions of Equality before Egalitarianism. It explores how and why “equality” became, rather suddenly, a basis on which ordinary men and women could make political demands in early modern England. Please, check it out!

Fundamentally, we are where we are: the government is run by malicious morons. What’s the solution for the problem we have right now?

I don’t know about these settler guys. Seems bad, maybe we should not let them do whatever they want forever

“Alignment” is totalitarian send skeet

We used to be a proper country

The untold (and obviously, most important) story here is that many classic parkland golf courses have been on a craze lately of cutting down their trees and pretending to be Scottish links courses, which is both gauche and un-American, send skeet.

What a choice cultural moment for the NYT to keep publishing Jeffrey Toobin—surely one of the only people who could write a column about the Supreme Court.

POV: your global strategic footprint is imperiled by marginally upgraded toy airplanes.

Don’t be a hyperventilating resistance lib and read anything at all into Hegseth’s “department of war” creating a “FASCOM.”

Quite the window into what really drives concerns about welfare fraud, if it wasn’t already clear.

Alas, stack left undisturbed

Since when is it anti-democratic for a President to abide by the terms of a federal statute? @leahlitman.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social have an important new paper highlighting slippery slope problems presented by the strong form of UET: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

One of the key takeaways from Bill Gates’ interview with Ezra Klein is that Bill Gates has a really irritating personality. Also, AI may kill hundreds of millions of people, but that’s old news.

1/ The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights just released its report on campus antisemitism and Title VI. I testified at the hearing. The report is unanimous, bipartisan, & debunks the main legal theories behind recent attacks on universities for allegedly tolerating antisemitism. 🧵
