- Luttig: "it is these constitutional obstacles to a tyrannical president that have made America the greatest nation on Earth for almost 250 years, not the fallen America that Trump delusionally thinks he’s going to make great again tomorrow." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... #citizensimpeachment
- I can't get over how un-American it is for the US government to deport a Russian dissident to Russia. I would expect that every DOJ lawyer across the political spectrum would realize how wrong it is (or even illegal?), even though some Republicans have changed their views.
- Touché! "Some worry that accepting a nearly half-billion-dollar aircraft from the Qataris may make the president feel like he must return the favor somehow. But when has Donald Trump ever held up his end of a bargain?" www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...
- The Cato guy calling nursing homes "an inefficient industry that government has propped up for decades” asserts undiscovered efficiencies in changing adult diapers; preventing wandering, falls, agitation, and choking; and giving a measure of dignity to vulnerable and suffering people.
- A gift article because it is impossible to state how devastating this is and will be to every single one of us. People do not understand that Medicare does not cover long term care. Medicaid pays 60% of all nursing home bills. No one can afford $15k PER MONTH and going up. wapo.st/42Rzv6G
- "In my lab at Harvard, I worked with a microscope that we called NoRI (short for Normalized Raman Imaging). This microscope, which was created in our lab, is the only one like it in the world." Op-ed by a scientist who has clearly "assimilated easily into our country." Gift link.
- Though obvious to anyone paying attention, most of the undocumented and legal immigrants detained by DJT and his brownshirts at ICE aren't violent criminals, but people who came to the US b/c of what it stood for before 1/20/2025. Kseniia Petrova's story is 1 of them www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/o...
- I've really enjoyed reading this text. Thanks to the authors for writing it!
- Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines? Jevin West (@jevinwest.bsky.social) and I have spent the last eight months developing the course on large language models (LLMs) that we think every college freshman needs to take. thebullshitmachines.com
- "So then, the question for Sen. Thune is this: Is there actually a line that you will not cross? If so, what would that be, given you’ve skipped past everything so far? Your country needs you. Now." www.sdstandardnow.com/home/more-co...
