I Hate to Say This but DNC Vice Chair David Hogg's New Maneuver Is Ill-Advised—and Worse Timed

David Hogg is exactly what we expect from a citizen touched by unthinkable tragedy. Having survived the 2018 massacre at Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, he immediately dived into constructive political action, first on serious gun reform and then within Democratic party politics, rising to his present position as DNC vice chairman. Which makes it difficult to point out that his latest project couldn't be more ill-advised and, worse, incredibly ill-timed. It is a perfect example of something that is in the right place but at the wrong time.

You Don't Have to Be a Creative Genius to Imagine Why Elon Musk Might Want Access to the NLRB System

I'm telling you, and I've said this before, when the members of the DOGE and pony show appeared in their workplaces, federal employees should have stacked sandbags around their cubicles and locked and barricaded their offices.

Harvard Stacked Every Penny of Its $54 Billion Endowment and Told the Trump Administration to Bring It On

And—so far, anyway—the old homestead has stood up well as we come up on the 250th anniversary of the last time we rose up against tyranny. First of all, Harvard stacked up every penny of its $54 billion endowment and told the administration to bring it on.

Gee Whiz, Marjorie Taylor Greene Sure Bought a Bunch of Stocks Just Before Trump Paused His Tariffs

First of all, it's beyond ludicrous that any member of Congress can play in the Great Casino. We've been through this once before, when it was revealed that a few of them made some serious bank during the burgeoning pandemic. (Members of Congress can trade stocks, but they have to pinky-swear that they are basing their activities only on information available to the general public. Right. I'm convinced.) At the time, there was a move to ban stock trading by congresscritters, which seems like the commonest of common sense.
