Fmr. Defense Sec. Jim Mattis and Ryan Holiday discuss the value of understanding history in the military. “The idea of learning by trial and error is both arrogant and reckless,” says Holiday. “We turn to the past because the people in the past lived through situations like we're in right now.”

Government price controls might cap health care costs in the short term, says Lanhee Chen, but they won't solve the problem. "In the long run, it's not going to cost less. What it will do is create a precedent for the government aggressively rationing access to health care."

If Congress doesn’t do its job, “you end up with something closer to a monarchy or a dictatorship,” says @oonahathaway.bsky.social. “The whole reason for the revolution was to reject that form of government…When the president is able to act without any checks from Congress, all of that goes away.”

Anthony Kennedy says requiring Supreme Court justices to enforce an ethics code for each other would pose "a threat to our collegiality." "An intelligent, interested, well-informed press, an intelligent, interested, well-informed public can insist that violations of ethics be cured."

In "1929," Andrew Ross Sorkin confronts false narratives about the Depression, including negative perceptions of Herbert Hoover driven by Democratic operatives that began before the stock market crashed. "It actually has a demonstrable impact on the dim view that people have of Hoover's role."

Actor and filmmaker @benmckenzie.bsky.social says “our current financial system sucks,” but crypto is not the answer to those grievances. “Crypto is in many ways just a get rich quick scheme…Crypto can't be anything other than, at best, a zero-sum game where for me to win, you have to lose.”

Actor @benmckenzie.bsky.social explains why he has criticized fellow celebrities like Matt Damon for promoting cryptocurrency. "This is an investment. This is not a car or soap. And you're not supposed to offer people financial advice unless you're a licensed financial advisor."

"If Jeffrey Epstein's core businesses were money laundering and blackmail, a pseudonymous currency that operates outside the banking system would be very attractive," @benmckenzie.bsky.social says of Epstein's investments in the early stages of cryptocurrency. Follow on Apple: bit.ly/4e9HvG7

"Congress has come to see itself as a secondary player in a fundamentally presidential drama, so that the question they always face in their own minds is a yes or no question about the president…," says Yuval Levin. "They have a real job to do."

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reflects on how George Washington embodied Stoicism. “He listens with the willingness to be persuaded. He quiets himself down, tones down his temper, and he learns,” says Mattis. “That is a man in control of himself.”

By hook or by crook, Alberta government is committed to give separatists an opportunity to vote for breaking up Canada. Now it appears that the Premier wants to be the proponent of a separatism referendum, using the #ForeverCanadian question without First Nations consultation.

The ultrafascist clown is wanking on FOXNEWS. The reality. Iran won the war. Iran controls the SoH. The US of A has to accept this and she will lose all bases in the region. By the way, he threatens nuclear strikes once again, but that's how it is, I guess. Our great NATO 'partner'.

Sony is raising prices on its range of PlayStation 5 consoles, citing “continued pressures in the global economic landscape.” Aside from the president's tariffs, two factors are pushing up the price of the video game console — and they could be a bad sign for other consumer electronics, too.

This campaign was never about one candidate. It's a shared project of Broward County DSA and the rest of Florida DSA to build working-class power in South Florida. Let's create a politics that finally answers to the people, not corporate donors and billionaires.

You cannot vote your way into socialism. A dispatch from California.

Sen. Ossoff: When you throw people off their health insurance, and drive up their premiums, and gut the Medicaid program in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country — that's also corruption.

Why does ideological certainty feel like reality, even when it narrows our view? Ideology feels like reality. Certainty crowds out curiosity. That is the risk. #Curiosity, #Mindset, #Leadership
