History will be kind to #JimmyCarter for changing the world through key decisions, and for having the right instincts on race, faith, Palestine, human rights and the climate.

The Indisputable Greatness of Jimmy Carter

In December 2017, a third-year undergraduate student at an Indian law school emailed Harvard Law’s Richard Fallon for a copy of the syllabus for his constitutional rights theory course, and he wrote back in a little over two hours. (1/2)

the way that you translate academic research to “people” is by making public higher ed free, not by writing pop science articles

The first page of my book says it shows Bailyn and Wood are wrong and Protestantism, not liberalism and republicanism, was the formative influence on nationalism in the early American republic. Gordon Wood reviewed in the NYRB, said I convinced him. Doesn't get more generous. RIP

CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD

Couldn't help but notice how his faith in experts disappeared when almost every genocide expert said Israel is committing one.

Legendary journalist Seymour Hersh claims that an Administration insider leaked information to him that Trump raised the possibility of using U.S. nuclear weapons in Iran.

I want someone to fund my idea of a Davos-style event where every speaker has recently retired.

You would then immediately hear the unvarnished truth about absolutely everything.

Remarkable (and disturbing) claim here from Wes Streeting on Friday’s News Agents.

Bouie and French think Platner's character is disqualifying. They have never written about:

1) Gaza

2 revelations that Larry Summers and Bill Clinton spent more than a decade hanging out with the world's most notorious child rapist

3) how billionaires corrupt politics

Good of Sarthak, pretty impressive. Gen Z, why not.

Bari Weiss interfered with 60 minutes that asked that the protesters be made "to look more violent."

Let that sink in.

Scott Pelley: “Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent?”

The most darkly funny aspect of this video is that Ivanka Trump speaks as if she went on some profound, prolonged spiritual and philosophical journey to ascertain the meaning of life, and concluded that the most elevated human state is to live on a gigantic private island in the Mediterranean, in a sprawling mansion paid for with the billions of dollars given to her husband by the Saudis and Emiratis to ensure favorable treatment by him and by her dad in their exercise of the powers of the American Presidency. Real uplifting stuff. 🙏

India’s economy under Modi led BJP has gone worse from ‘fragile five’ to ‘vulnerable one’. No economy today is as vulnerable to growth, inflation, investment, exports, fiscal deficit shocks as India. Unhappy days ahead. Modi deforms have cost India badly. https://t.co/3sB1OwQLDu

It is a lonely job being the USA ambassador to Denmark these days.

Previous USA ambassadors were treated like rock stars and were very popular in Denmark which has always been a very pro-American country. But that is over now.

The current ambassador, Ken Howery, @USAmbDenmark was sent to Denmark last year accompanied by a message from Trump that his job is to secure U.S. control over Greenland.

He keeps posting BS on social media about how he wants to deepen ties between Denmark and the USA. But you have to choose. You can't both try to take Greenland and have good relations with Denmark.

As a result, he is treated like the enemy that he is, and nobody wants to socialize with him.

A Danish newspaper recently spotted him going undercover as a Danish football fan at a carnival. He has to dress up and hide like this to be able to go out and be among the Danes.

No exaggeration — I've watched every episode of 60 Minutes in the past 30 years. I have a few observations... 👇
