@FreddyLA7 I don't know where in Germany you're based, but if you want good Mexican food when you get back, La Jefa food truck in Freiburg is pretty great. (Note that Taco Bell is Taco Bell, and Mexican food is something different) (https://t.co/4J2do76ce4)

Look, I don't know a lot about the NFLPA and the CBA, but I'm pretty sure saying "Pretty Please, I want to be an NFL player" does not mean that you're entitled to the protections of the NFLPA.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Brendan Sorsby's attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, tells ESPN of the NFL's decision to not hold a supplemental draft: "It is a violation of the CBA and the law. We will pursue this immediately with the NFLPA."

Look, I'm not an expert, but the winners of wars generally don't write $300 Billion checks to the losers. The Iranian Regime is stronger today than it was in January.

Wikipedia now officially lists the result of the 2026 Iran War as an "Iranian victory" https://t.co/t7EeE2oEcf

Most surreal moment of our lives. Filmed the whole call, will post the video later.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

[John B. Holbein @JohnHolbein1]

ICE is everywhere.

In 2022, @ICEgov made arrests in 30% of counties.

In 2025, @ICEgov made arrests in 62% of counties.

We ask: Do ICE arrests spark political action?

Theory and prior evidence suggest it should.

We find that ICE activity mostly does not mobilize citizens.

Well, every fancy method is basically weighted least squares.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint

*pulls out calculator and divides 1:59:30 by 26.2*

alright, you know what, life might be multiple things simultaneously

OLS is pretty great for 90% of the questions you wanna answer.

[Dr. James 'Jay' C Stewart III @jaytehman]

Gerrymandering, regardless of who does it, is bad for democracy. In a two-party system, this seems like the equilibrium outcome.

Why don't we turn the house into a state-level PR system? The smaller states that only have one representative will just have a SMDP system.

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

After all this, we’re right back where we started but with fewer competitive districts and even more gridlock and dysfunction.

[Dr. James 'Jay' C Stewart III @jaytehman]

That's an interesting paper! I'm excited to see where it lands!

[Noah Dasanaike @dasanaike]

To study the question of how extremist political commitments transmit across generations, I digitized 3.4 million Nazi Party membership cards, identify those that emigrated to the United States using the census, and examine the political attitudes of their descendants today.

This makes our service men and women less safe in the next conflict.

A lot of small colleges like this are going to close 😬

[Josh Landes @JoshLandesWAMC]

BREAKING: After years of financial struggles, Hampshire College will close after the 2026 fall semester. I obtained an email sent to the college community this morning that confirms the board of Trustees have voted to permanently close the experimental institution. @WAMCNews

[Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp]

I've seen a lot of takes that Orbán's defeat means that he was never an authoritarian in the first place.

This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism.

Here's why.

[Dr. James 'Jay' C Stewart III @jaytehman]

That's a pretty good hand.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

BREAKING: Trump tells Iran they "have no cards" other than the ability to close the Strait of Hormuz.

[Dr. James 'Jay' C Stewart III @jaytehman]

I'm currently looking for a job 😬😬😬

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: US GDP growth falls from 4.4% to 0.5% in Q4 2025, well below the initially expected +2.8% growth.

[Michael Jankowski @michaelj505]

Are LLM annotations of party positions contaminated by context cues? To test that, I took 6 policy statements and added different party names to them. Then I asked GPT-5.4 where it would place these claims on a scale from 0 (far left) to 100 (far right).

[Dr. James 'Jay' C Stewart III @jaytehman]

Yeah, I get the point of making threats, but God damn, that's a threat of Genocide.

The regime is strengthened by these rally around the flag effects.

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

The president of the United States, 8:06 am ET, threatens Iran: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.“
