Inequality, Crime, and Resistance in New York City, published by @TempleUnivPress is out today.

It is designed for course adoption and is out in paperback. If you’re interested in using it for a course, I’d be very happy to pop into a class to discuss with students.

He’s right. We don’t means test public parks or libraries etc. If anyone is worried about rich people getting access to public goods, there is a ready-made solution; taxation.

Is there anyone more spectacularly uniformed than the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives? He knows literally nothing about anyone or anything. He should try checking out a newspaper.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Raju: Do you think Howard Lutnick should resign?

Mike Johnson: Of course not. It’s absurd. As Commerce Secretary, he’s done an extraordinary job for the country. Thomas Massie should stop playing political games.

Raju: Do you have any concerns about Lutnick ties to Epstein?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it

Economy so bad that the WSJ is running Marxist headlines

Nothing they are doing should be remotely surprising. They were very clear about it. Anyone shocked now was not paying attention. The truth is that you helped facilitate it @joerogan either because you were too credulous or too foolish to see what was before your eyes.

Rogan: "You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people — many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, 'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"

@MBTA_CR_Alerts Ok, thank you

@MBTA_CR_Alerts any idea what happened to the Needham line inbound train? It was due to arrive at Bellevue at 12:25.

I look forward to the penny dropping (40 years too late) that Clinton is reviled by “the left.”

BESSENT: I think tariffs help consumers

GEIST: Do you believe tariffs are a tax on consumers?

BESSENT: I do not believe tariffs are a tax on consumers

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

In the middle of all Trump’s distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue:

While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries.

Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.
