So wonderful to watch JJ Spaun win the U.S. Open. We needed this. Look at him and look at his beautiful family and believe in America again.

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

This is a very careful, well-reported piece, but honestly: Has there ever been a more self-defeating vote than Laredo and McAllen Texas shifting to Trump in 2024? What exactly did voters there think was going to happen? newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…
