We can't help you with this one, Britain. But a quarter of a million English Jews are wondering if you're going to look the other way long enough for all of them to be in danger. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/0…

I covered Argentina as a foreign correspondent under leftist president Kirshner and so much of what I’m seeing here reminds me of that period which saw the economy decimated with high inflation and stagnation due to tariffs and other measures. But what worries me the most….

…is our president firing the folks who do our economic data. In Argentina during that period, they stopped giving verifiable numbers. You were either a ‘government economist’ ie lying or an ‘independent economist’ who was called an anti government rat…

I worked at BLS before grad school, as a computer programmer. It is and has always been a serious, professional, nonpartisan agency. When you shoot those who bring news you don't want to hear, you set your team up for structural stupidity. No feedback from reality.

I just signed my extension with the Lakers. Excited to keep working to bring championships to LA and make Laker Nation proud. Grateful to the Lakers, my teammates and all the fans who’ve shown so much love since day one. This is just the beginning. 💜💛

Hamas literally released a video of them committing a war crime by psychologically torturing a hostage. Right out in the open. And you are surprised that many Palestinians want to be free from this death cult??

Tom Watson Tom, with all due respect, I don’t think this is going to age well re: Goldman. He’s not a shoo-in to lose or anything, but he’s absolutely beatable, especially in a 1:1 race (unless his opponent is super left wing). Doesn’t even necessarily have to be Lander either.

Annually the broken “segregation” paradigm is wielded to talk about Specialized HS admissions. My story from a few years back complicates that: How It Feels to Be an Asian Student in an Elite Public School nytimes.com/2022/01/25/us/…

Let's review: Hiring has stalled, manufacturing is bleeding jobs, core inflation is rising, and the average household is estimated to lose $3,800 a year to tariffs. Oh, and July's jobs report was disastrous—just 73,000 jobs added. Other than that, it's going amazing.

While you westerners worry about Gaza, Hamas and Islamic Jihad are even now actively and brutally radicalizing Israelis against a better future for Gaza. Your media aren’t reporting these videos. Israeli media pivoted from reporting on Gaza’s hunger to reporting on the

I actually remember this from the early part of the second half of the century. The fading of stiff, dark jeans was part of a whole relationship you had with them.

I'm not sure which is more delusional: Thinking Trump is a good president. Thinking liberal institutions didn't go bonkers over identity issues in 2020.

Elite overproduction is when a former BuzzFeed reporter has to share his airport lounge experience with too many plebs and it’s national news.

This is extraordinary - and immensely important - only a moral and strategic crisis of immense magnitude for Israel could have produced this statement of collective fury.

First Republican administration to boast about how their tax increases on the American people and American businesses are bringing in more money for the government.
