Mike Eliason and Steven Smith are doing for stairs what Don Shoup did for parking. Single-stair buildings promote better, more affordable multi-family housing and more livable cities. It's something cities can do, right now, to make homes more affordable. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/b...
The Atlantic gave McKay Coppins $10k to bet for a year and the miracle is that he did not lose more than that. I do not know how I feel about this stunt! It could have gone very, very wrong.
It's some great writing but it sure feels weird to read it.

"Do you think it's inappropriate in any way that someone in their 20s with no experience with grants or federal government was making personal judgement calls about what grants to cancel?"
"No, I don't think it's inappropriate."
NY Times screenshot: "All of this is simply to contrast what might have been with what plainly is: a presidency in terminal decline, if not outright collapse. Consider the big picture. Trump is nearly as unpopular now as he has ever been. His average approval rating ranges from a net negative of about 13 points to a net negative of nearly 20 points. He is underwater on every issue of consequence. The Supreme Court nullified his signature economic program and his immigration enforcement actions are so toxic with voters that they’ve forced him to fire his head of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. He has wrecked the coalition that brought him into office with major reversals among Latinos, young men and Black Americans, and he is treading water with his core supporters, white voters without college degrees. Trump insists, of course, that he is as popular as ever, but even Republican lawmakers see the writing on the wall. There has been a historic number of retirements from Congress, led mostly by Republicans. Last, but far from least, is the president’s foolhardy, reckless and immoral war in Iran, which was started with neither public buy-in nor congressional authorization. It didn’t take long after the bombing began before it destroyed an elementary school, killing more than 175 people, most of them children. Nearly two weeks in, the conflict has already grown beyond its initially limited scope, involving other belligerents and threatening the global economy. It is no surprise, then, that this is also the most unpopular war in modern American history, with few supporters beyond the president’s fellow partisans."
it is "what plainly is: a presidency in terminal decline, if not outright collapse." @jamellebouie.net

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.
ok this is at least very funny
Ask your financial advisor if adding a hollowed out mattress and a gun to your retirement portfolio is right for you.
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Tweet by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl @jonkarl In a lengthy phone interview, President Trump marveled at the success of the military operation against Iran and expressed no concern about what comes next. "I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?" I said _nobody questions the success of the military operation_, the concern is what happens next. "Forget about next," he answered. "They are decimated for a 10-year period before they could build it back." 3:26 PM · Mar 5, 2026 · 71.8K Views https://x.com/jonkarl/status/2029654727093325965
