Stephen Miller is Roy Cohn 2.0. It was both the single most self-destructive move Trump could have made, and his only move in the face of Epstein.
Why can’t moderate Democrats admit they have the same compassionate policies endgame as progressives? Free healthcare, education, and childcare. Affordable housing. A tax code that reduces hoarded wealth. A living wage. Things most industrialized countries already have.
Milwaukee and Tampa Bay have the most AI analysts (46 and 39) on staff of all MLB teams. From scouting to training to field decisions it’s a new, hidden-to-the-fan world.

I spent 30 years in academia. Here are my observations about my students. Toward the end, I was teaching “Gen Z." These students combined ignorance with strident moral certainty. They seemed to have had no general education at all, and lacked the most basic knowledge of history, even recent history. They were immature and emotionally fragile.
Many could not handle criticism, no matter how sugar coated. It took very little to reduce them to tears – or to send them into a fit of narcissistic rage. They were shockingly bereft of intellectual curiosity, and many gave the impression of having no internal life at all.
I'll share more observations later.
