If this Goodman is Ken Goodman of whole language reading, his ideas were discredited decades ago, even in the early childhood learning community in ed schools. Whole language reading isn't entirely out (nor should it be), but phonics is back.

I think AIPAC the main driver of new anti-semitism in the US. AIPAC tells people that criticizing Israel is anti-semitic. Some people believe them.

To quibble: Obama did not under-stimulate the economy. The under-stimulation came from the Republican Congress determined to make Obama a one term President.

It makes sense coming from MTG. If you can believe in chemtrails and Jewish space lasers, why not a Republican healthcare plan. Any one of those things could be real.

1. Maybe Trump will send the Navy to police the Varrazzano Narrows they way they do the Taiwan straight.
2. Chiang Kai-Shek's people displaced a local population. Will MAGA refugees from Manhattan displace all those working class Italians?

To be clear, "abolish the police" is not a Democratic policy. It should not be listed as a Democratic policy in the table of unpopular policies.

His people have told him by now that this is impossible (can't be more than 100%). He keeps repeating it to remind everyone that he can lie with impunity, and to troll the "haters".

To summarize, the exchange shows Halligan is a naive idiot who has no business in the role she has (like most Trump appointees). It's not an indication that Halligan did anything illegal or corrupt or unethical? How sad that this is the bar of good behavior in the Trump era.

I would love you to clarify what's wrong in this exchange. Saying "you're wrong" but refusing to say what, specifically, is wrong makes her seem stupid but not worse.

Those people under 25 have known Israel largely as the source of the murderous IDF, who have done more to hurt people in Gaza than Hamas had the power to do.

It's not a Nobel Prize (opinions may differ). Nobel wanted prizes in the sciences, which excludes economics (and other important subjects such as history and philosophy). This prize was created in return for saving the Nobel Foundation from bankruptcy.

Depressing. Mamdani is asked a simple question. Rather than give a direct answer (I would ....), he tirades against Trump. Not to defend Trump, but that avoids the harder question: what would he actually do if the National Guard comes to NYC?

What do you think should happen to a country that deliberately starves tens of thousands in order to ethnically cleanse then annex territory of another country?
Maybe something like happened to Serbia -- NATO occupation to prevent further atrocities??

I usually appreciate Krugman's "dad humor" puns, but the stuff on that bagel is schmear, not smear. That's a Yiddish/German word for butter that's also used for cream cheese.

There are knee-jerk hotheads everywhere. "Over there", Senator Collins is a RINO who deserves a traitor's end. Here, even if you support Social Security "reform" (cuts) and get called fascist for it, they don't wish you dead.
