My @NYTmag story about the long-simmering transformation of state civil courts, where Americans remake their families, fight for their homes, and protect their livelihoods, and where 3 out of 4 cases involve someone without a lawyer nytimes.com/2025/04/17/magaz…

But I feel like if you listen to rap, especially from the young black rappers, it would be silly to think that the hedonism and bragging about money is a moral failure. It’s a deep understanding of American reality and what it means to be a have not. It’s proof of life.

It’s crazy that the new NYC subway cars only have 30 seats and the old ones have 80 and we are in any way supposed to consider this an improvement. Me must return…

The disparity has grown even further. New federal data shows that the United States now has:
• 41,550 journalists
• 280,590 public relations specialists
For every reporter, there are now about seven PR people.

Scoop: Tyler Hassen is an Ivy League graduate turned energy company CEO who is serving as DOGE's man at @Interior. He traveled to California recently to engineer a publicity stunt on behalf of the new administration.

The story of a young fisheries biologist at @USFWS who moved halfway across the country with his pregnant wife in order to work on behalf of the American public only to be unceremoniously fired by Elon Musk, Doug Burgum, etc:
This is a great initiative to step into the void left as papers decline to endorse...and, dare I say, more interesting to read a transcript than an editorial?

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in a court affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from Washington. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late.
“Over time, migration to hazard-prone areas has increased, putting more people and property in harm’s way. Disasters are more expensive because there is more to destroy.”
