This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.

Maybe no one in the field as good as Ossoff tying corruption to economic populism: "This corruption is why nothing works for ordinary people [...] It’s why your insurance company gets away with denying your cancer treatment after you paid your premiums for decades."

Oxford, good morning. You ready? Some 305,000 people will be in town tonight. Millions of dollars will be spent. And everything will have a price tag — a steep one — attached to it. ICYMI: I spent the week figuring out exactly what this weekend costs. nytimes.com/athletic/7606452…

.@EDSecMcMahon is correct. DEI is discriminatory by design, antithetical to the purpose of a university, and incompatible with the pursuit of truth. The University of Florida has already acted on that conviction. In December 2025, our Board of Trustees adopted institutional neutrality and embedded an anti-DEI mandate within the presidential contract itself, ensuring that no university funds, public or private, will underwrite DEI at this institution. Dr. Stuart Bell stands with Secretary McMahon, the Board, and the people of Florida on this. He is ready to lead UF forward as a university defined by merit, rigor, and the pursuit of truth.

The differences between Rep. AOC’s and Sen. Bernie Sanders’ approach to tax cut plans are indicative of the divides Democrats must bridge as they form their agenda going into 2028. notus.org/economy/democrats-…

Democrats’ Tax Cut Plans Are Splintering Progressives

Could new proposals from Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Cory Booker to cut taxes come at the expense of expanding social programs? Progressives don’t agree.

If you get into a “who can cut taxes more” battle with the GOP, you’re going to lose because they are far more shameless and antagonistic to the idea of living in a functioning society. Don’t concede to their framing that taxes are nothing but a problem to be solved.

Stellen Skarsgard on the the growing presence of AI in the movie industry: "For thousands of years, people have been very much interested in people. Describing people is what theater does, what film does — and what we do best. In film — even better than in television — you can describe all the unspoken words, all the unspoken facets of a relationship that are almost impossible to explain but are still there. We will always be curious about other people. That curiosity will never leave us." What form it takes, how it will be produced — maybe some people will be happy enough with what AI can produce, and some will not. But I think the main problem for the moving image industry today is the concentration of capital. And the concentration of capital is the problem for every industry, for humanity. AI is nothing without the men behind it. AI is owned by the tech barons standing right behind power." variety.com/2026/film/awards…
