Professor Noah Feldman was my classmate twice over. He is one of the more brilliant minds I have ever encountered. I love how he lays it plain here.

So this is why Trump was all over Biden’s “stage 9” (inaccurate) diagnosis - because he’s at CVI stage 3 and failed to disclose. Every accusation is a confession.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t?
So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Rural hospitals across the U.S. — many already hanging by a thread — could take a serious hit if a proposed Medicaid cut in the Senate’s domestic spending bill is signed into law.
What is the provider tax? How the Senate’s proposed Medicaid cuts could deepen the rural hospital crisis
All states, except for Alaska, have at least one provider tax. A significant portion of the revenue the taxes generate goes toward supporting rural hospitals.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

President Trump wants the oil and gas industry to “drill, baby, drill” in pursuit of his energy dominance agenda, but the companies involved in the actual drilling and servicing of wells have instead taken a beating during his presidency.
Oil industry that Trump wants to 'drill, baby, drill' has taken a beating since he took office
U.S. crude oil prices have fallen below $65 per barrel, down more than 20% since Trump’s second term began, making it unprofitable for many companies to boost production.

![Hey [REDACTED],
This is Matt, Founder & CEO at Lomi.
I wanted to reach out personally with some news.
Because of the ongoing difficulties with tariffs, today will be the last day we’re able to ship Lomi to the United States.
Tomorrow, we’ll be taking Lomi off our U.S. site.
Trust me — this is the last thing we wanted.
We’ve tried every way we could think of to make it work, but with the extra tariffs, the costs are just too high.
