Two weeks ago I testified before congress on the promise and peril of deep-sea mining. A few key points of my testimony, and my responses to Congresswoman Dexter, were clipped by Forbes. I think they're worth a listen.

Before Trump 2.0, this was one of my biggest fears. With everything that's happened in the last year, it may seem like small news -- just another stream in the constant firehose of institutional destruction. But it's not. Effectively losing the professional federal civil service is a very bad thing.
Final Schedule F rule published: in defiance of the vast majority of public comments, it commits to further politicizing government, removing anyone the Trump administration dislikes.

Let me explain the math behind why the destruction of the Washington Post isn't about money.
The paper is now losing $100 million a year. Jeff Bezos is worth $253 billion. This means he could self-fund the Washington Post for THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS and still have $53 billion LEFT OVER.

I encourage you to consider that the @cato.org is right about this
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
