How did DOGE disrupt so much but save so little? In DOGE’s published list of canceled contracts and grants, the 13 largest were all incorrect. Of the 40 biggest claims on DOGE’s list, only 12 appeared accurate, per @nytimes.com analysis. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

I don't normally drop snippets from a yet unpublished piece online but the current project I'm pushing is about the consequences of violence and how difficult it is to undo the past and sometimes you write something and think yeah, that sums up that character right there.

These activists create and distribute thousands of 3D-printed whistles, and their piercing cries are used to signal that immigration agents are nearby. And it's working.

When you’re in your 20s, you’ll walk by an indie bookshop that you’ve never visited. (Amazon is convenient.) You’ll see their bookseller recs, a cat in the window, & curation & feel the need to go in.
It’s really important that you do, because that indie will be your safe space for years to come.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

"By shouting things like 'our prices are coming down tremendously,' Trump is telling voters to 'reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.' But this is 2025, not 1984, and voters aren’t buying it."
The Hoax of Christmas Present
Polling and focus group data show voters across parties feel crushed by rising costs, even as Trump dismisses affordability concerns as a “hoax” that contradicts Americans’ lived reality.
