Let’s talk about constitutional hypocrisy so brazen, so comprehensive, so morally bankrupt that it would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous to the republic.
I’ve learned something about modern Republicans that crystallizes everything wrong with our current political moment: they care more about the constitutionality of Biden’s student debt forgiveness than they do about the 4th and 5th...
When a federal judge ruled last week that Marco Rubio can’t just declare that the US can detain green card holder Mahmoud Khalil based on the Secretary of State’s “vibes check” assessment of his political beliefs, you might think Khalil would finally be free to return to his family.
You’d be wrong. The DOJ has decided to play the classic bureaucratic shell game: “Oh, that reason for detaining him...

For a brief moment, it looked like real life was finally having an effect on Trump’s “immigrants are inherently evil” fantasies. There was a brief window, last week, where Trump indicated he’d roll back some of his deportation goons because it was going too far. The fact that this moment of realization has arrived at all is somewhat of a miracle… though it only lasted all of two or three days,...
Never one to miss an opportunity to exploit the presidency for a quick and tacky buck, the Trump administration is getting into the cell phone business.
Well, sort of: the Trump administration is launching a lazy new MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) that piggybacks on existing wireless networks with an added perk: a fake-gold $500 “T1” phone celebrating everyone’s favorite reality TV star...
It’s one of those things I don’t discuss on main. I’m not really sure why. Maybe it was my strict religious upbringing, which made discussing anything outside of preferred interpretations of the Bible sacrilegious, if not actually blasphemous. Or maybe it was a concern about being a bit outside of the mainstream, which might result in fewer opportunities to “tap the keg” or whatever.
But I — like...
The second most frustrating aspect of RFK Jr.’s performance as the head of Health and Human Services has been just how predictable the actions he’s taken are. When you start with a simple premise, that Kennedy is a vehement anti-vaxxer, the view that measles is less harmful than the MMR vaccine makes sense. The appointment of other wellness charlatans tracks perfectly. The pulling back on COVID...
Sam Altman’s vision of a “gentle singularity” where AI gradually transforms society presents an alluring future of abundance and human flourishing. His optimism about AI’s potential to solve humanity’s greatest challenges is compelling, and his call for thoughtful deployment resonates. Altman’s essay focuses primarily on the research and development side of AI, painting an inspiring picture of...
When Andrew Ferguson made his pitch to Donald Trump to take over the organization, his one-page “pick me” plea talked about “ending” former FTC Chair Lina Khan’s “politically motivated investigations.” We pointed out at the time how hilarious it was that he then made it clear he fully intended to abuse the power of the FTC to, instead, launch “politically motivated investigations” on behalf of...
