The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.

Remember when Bill Clinton spoke to his AG for a few seconds privately, on the tarmac, and the US media, following the instructions of bad-faith wingnuts, made a huge multi-week scandal out of it?

The Buffalo Medical Examiner rules that the death of a legally blind elderly Burmese refugee dropped off by Border Patrol at a closed shop late at night in winter was a homicide. He died of a burst ulcer caused by severe stress brought on by dehydration and hypothermia.
The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Honestly, the great crisis of our society is the unwillingness of institutions to inflict consequences. Impeach the president, fire the sex pests, expel cheating students, excommunicate an unrepentant heretic, prosecute the war criminals. Believe in your institution enough to enforce its rules.

As a protestant, this feels strange to say, but the point at which an adult convert to Catholicism has been rebuked by two Popes in one year and then goes on to write a memoir called 'Communion' about his faith, they ought to bring excommunication back. This guy is evidently an unrepentant heretic.
Vice President JD Vance has a new book that will explore his religious faith and his conversion to Catholicism as an adult. “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith” will be out June 16.

Trump has potentially ended free maritime trade, a literally world-changing development that, if it lasts, may do more damage than anything else he has done so far What a phenomenally, historically evil and incompetent failure The Republican Party is a party of failure, defeat, and idiocy

ICE agents shot & killed Silverio Villegas Gonzalez after he dropped his kids off at school in September. Minn officials launched investigations into Pretti & Good's killings. Cook County has not done the same for Villegas Gonzalez. blockclubchicago.org/2026/03/23/i... ✍️ @mollydevore.bsky.social
Some of the numerous bangers from this episode. (I especially like the last one, wherein Mehrotra inadvertently reveals how little he understands teaching OR history.)
Here’s my interview with Shishir Mehotra, the CEO behind Grammarly’s “expert review” feature which attributed writing advice to people - including me lol - without permission. Or, as you will hear us talk about a lot, compensation. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...
