It’s not just what it feels like - it’s what it is. With the GOP-led Congress abdicating its oversight responsibilities, a core pillar of our checks and balances has collapsed. This is exactly the kind of political decay Jefferson feare

Meanwhile Trump trashed the CHIPS act which was bringing semiconductor production to the United States. Trump is a force of chaos, and as such I wouldn't be making multi-billion-dollar capital investments in the United States based off

The rule of law is not at all political. It's philosophical. It's a shame you see it otherwise. I see it as a marker of how far we've fallen. We can no longer discuss something as "the rule of law" without people cl

Meanwhile, Trump refuses to acknowledge that his stupid, stupid, stupid policies have anything to do with this. Oh no, not at all! Shoot the messenger who's just doing their job! Next month I'd report that 10 billion jobs were c

Quantum Mechanics (QM) is to Quantum Field Theory (QFT) what Newtonian mechanics is to Einsteinian relativity. QM remains useful in many domains - just as Newton does - but it’s not the fundamental framework. The Standard Model is built on

If we had faked the moon landings, then the Soviets would have been the first to let the world know - and brought the evidence. Instead, they congratulated the Americans - at the height of the Cold War. Oh, and it wasn't just one moo

The fact these tariffs exist point to a president not willing to deal with facts and reality. I'm not sure anymore if the accounting will make any difference. This administration is living in an alternate reality comprised of alternate
