What @jamestalarico says here is so true. Social media really should be called "anti-social media" because it uses our data to choose what we see and shoves us into silos of outrage, resentment and discontent so we stay on line. It is tearing our country apart for profit.
.@ezraklein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?”
@JamesTalarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme voices very strategically to provoke our outrage, because that leads to more clicks, which leads to more money for them.
They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection.
And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”

Jake Sullivan had his spokesperson call into NPR *during @AkbarSAhmed's interview* to complain he was treated unfairly in Ahmed's book about how the Biden administration fathered the Gaza genocide.
Sullivan wants us to know he was in fact "working tirelessly" to help Gaza.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:
When I visited Trump at the White House, when he said the Golan Heights belongs to Israel, I made the joke, “Why don’t you give New Jersey to the Israelis? You don’t own the Golan Heights to give, but you own New Jersey.”
I believe New Jersey is full of Democrats, and they are not voting for Trump, so it would be good to give it to the Israelis. At least this is something you own. Trump doesn’t own the Golan Heights.
Regardless of this joke, the Golan Heights is owned by its own people. It is neither the Syrian president’s, the American president’s, nor any other person’s to abandon or give up to others.

Fresh security alerts tonight for American citizens in the Middle East. US embassies in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and Israel have also issued their own warnings citing Houthi attacks.
“This military conflict has the potential to escalate rapidly,” one of the alerts said.
Middle East: Due to tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation. Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise heightened vigilance and be aware of potential flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions. Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including civilian airports. This military conflict has the potential to escalate rapidly. Americans outside the Middle East should seriously reconsider travel to and through the region. Those who do travel to or from the region should monitor information about airport and airline operations. U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Iran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world, including U.S. businesses and other institutions.

If you're wondering why D.C.-area congestion feels worse than usual right now, @WTOP traffic reporter Dave Dildine gave me the scoop.
It's called the "September shock," and yes, it's as unpleasant as it sounds.

I suspect this will eventually reach the Supreme Court, because the implication is so concerning.
Historically, warrantless border searches were permitted because you might be smuggling something in. But with cellphones, there’s a qualitative difference compared to a suitcase.
New: 2nd Circuit holds that the government can search a traveler's phone at the border (or int'l arriving flights) without any level of suspicion whatsoever. ww3.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisio…
