Yeah... I wonder what could go wrong with this plan...
ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican leaders will scare young conservatives from getting involved in politics. @ElissaSlotkin

Stop letting activist influencers manipulate the facts to keep you outraged. 🛑 In this video, we are breaking down the truth behind the Department of Education's new Earnings Accountability Rule. While progressive commentators are screaming that this is an "attack on women," the actual data tells a completely different story. This policy forces predatory universities to finally lower their tuition costs instead of trapping female students in six figures of unpayable debt for public service jobs. It introduces free-market sanity and protects your wallet from billionaire university endowments. Let's look at the actual IRS metrics, the implementation timeline, and the real-world economic shifts happening right now. Watch the full breakdown to find out who this rule actually protects. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! 👇 #StudentLoans #HigherEducation #PoliticalCommentary

Imagine a world where college tuition was based on market economics (ie it costs more to get a law degree than to be a teacher). Affordability would no longer be an issue and degrees that provide little value wouldn't cost as much as degrees that provided a ton of value.

Why are obvious mistruths allowed in politics? Mentioning a 23% consumption tax on everything without saying it would replace the federal individual income tax, federal payroll taxes, estate tax, and gift tax is essentially a lie to voters. Why is this legal?

Are Audiobooks as Good as Reading? A professor split his class in two. Half read a textbook chapter, half listened to it. Same material, same quiz, but wildly different results. The gap between the groups? An A versus a D. Here’s who won, and why it wasn’t close:

10/10 explanation of the marginal revolution, subjective theory of value, the failure of Marxian economics, and free economies as the antidote to poverty. Followed.
Hello Julia, sans aucune ironie, c'est top que tu prennes le temps de te renseigner. Mais le problème quand on lit Marx aujourd'hui, c'est qu'on prend pour acquis sa prémisse de départ, alors qu'elle a été démontée scientifiquement il y a plus de 150 ans. Toute la pensée de Marx repose sur la théorie de la valeur-travail. L'idée que la valeur d'un bien vient de la quantité de travail nécessaire pour le produire. Si tu acceptes cette prémisse, alors oui, tout son raisonnement tient. Le capitaliste "vole" la plus-value du travailleur, l'exploitation est mathématique, la révolution est inévitable. Sauf qu'en 1871, trois économistes (Menger en Autriche, Jevons en Angleterre, Walras en Suisse) découvrent indépendamment la même chose : la valeur n'est pas objective, elle est subjective et marginale. Un verre d'eau dans le désert vaut une fortune. Le même verre à côté d'une rivière ne vaut rien. Le travail incorporé est identique. Donc le travail ne détermine pas la valeur. C'est le consommateur qui valorise un bien selon son utilité marginale dans un contexte donné. Exemple concret : tu peux passer 1000 heures à tricoter un pull moche que personne ne veut. Selon Marx, ce pull a énormément de valeur (beaucoup de travail incorporé). Selon la réalité, il ne vaut rien. Parce que personne n'en veut. À l'inverse, Bernard Arnault crée des milliards de valeur non pas parce qu'il "exploite" mais parce qu'il a su anticiper et organiser des désirs humains à grande échelle. La valeur est créée par la coordination, pas extraite par le vol. Cette découverte (la révolution marginaliste) a invalidé tout l'édifice marxiste. Pas pour des raisons idéologiques, pour des raisons scientifiques. C'est pour ça que plus aucun département d'économie sérieux au monde n'enseigne Marx comme un cadre d'analyse valide. On l'enseigne en histoire de la pensée. Maintenant, le truc important. Si ton intention en lisant Marx c'est d'aider les pauvres (c'est une intention noble), alors tu vas être surprise par ce qui suit. Regarde les chiffres de la Banque mondiale. En 1820, 90% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Cette chute historique ne s'est PAS produite dans les pays qui ont appliqué Marx. Elle s'est produite dans les pays qui ont libéralisé leur économie. Chine post-1978, Vietnam post-1986, Inde post-1991, Pologne post-1989. À chaque fois qu'un pays libéralise, des centaines de millions de gens sortent de la pauvreté en une génération. À chaque fois qu'un pays applique Marx (URSS, Cambodge, Corée du Nord, Venezuela), c'est la famine et les goulags. Ce n'est pas une opinion, c'est l'expérience la plus massive jamais menée en sciences sociales. Plusieurs milliards de cobayes humains, sur un siècle. Donc paradoxalement, si tu aimes vraiment les pauvres, la position la plus cohérente n'est pas d'être marxiste. C'est d'être pour la liberté économique. Parce que c'est empiriquement la seule chose qui a jamais sorti massivement les gens de la misère. Pour creuser, je te recommande trois lectures qui vont changer ta vision : "La Loi" de Frédéric Bastiat (court, lumineux, gratuit en ligne) "La Route de la Servitude" de Hayek "Économie en une leçon" de Henry Hazlitt Bonne lecture, et vraiment chapeau de chercher à comprendre plutôt que de rester dans tes certitudes. C'est rare.

The solution is real simple. If everyone isn't free to pass through the Strait, then the US should shut it down and let nobody through. Iran's entire economy will evaporate over night. Thus far, we've allowed them to continue to ship oil out.

Updating a popular tweet from a few years ago... Can we put "Pistol" Pete Maravich's NCAA Division I men's scoring record in perspective? He scored 3,667 points in 83 games over 3 years. If you took the nation's top 83 Division I men's basketball single-game scoring performances in the last 3 years (2023-24, 2024-25 & 2025-26), you'd have a combined 3,529 total points.

Trade back early and often. Get picks for next year, and build on day 2&3 for depth.

This years draft sucks at the top. Trade back as often as possible, secure picks for next year and rebuild your run game. Next year you find your new franchise QB.

It's not that Democrats want deportations to be done lawfully. They want to stop them entirely. That's why Newsom committed $50m to fight deportations, before Trump took office. That's why Mayor Frey won't enforce immigration law. That's why all the chaos is in blue areas.

“Between the president’s Jan. 20, 2025 inauguration and the end of November, the Trump administration arrested an extraordinary total of 595,000 illegal aliens and deported 605,000.  “The 170 ICE-detained US citizens (acording to ProPublica) included about 130 arrested for interfering with or assaulting officers…justifiable under any reading of the law.  “Only about 40 or so of those who were detained claimed to be US citizens accidentally or erroneously arrested by ICE.  “But just half of those people were held for more than a day; most were released in a few hours. “Any error is serious, but 40 mistakes out of 595,000 arrests amounts to an error rate of just 0.0067% — roughly one wrongful detention for every 14,925 arrests. “By contrast (during the Obama administration) In fiscal years 2015 and 2016, ICE recorded 263 mistaken arrests, 54 mistaken detentions (book-ins), and four mistaken removals.  “During those two years, ICE made a mere 239,645 arrests, meaning the 54 mistaken detentions alone produced an Obama error rate of 0.0225% —about one mistake for every 4,444 arrests. “Overall, the error rate under Obama was 3.36 times higher than under Trump… “During the course of Obama’s two terms, from 2009 to 2017, 56 individuals died in ICE custody.  “That administration didn’t publish clear detention totals, but the closest available figures show about 498,646 detentions and deportations over five fiscal years, an average of roughly 99,729 per year.  “If that annual rate held throughout the entire administration, ICE processed about 797,834 individuals. “Under that estimate, 56 deaths translates into a rate of 0.007% — roughly one death for every 14,314 detainees.  “By comparison, the rate last year under Trump was slightly lower: 0.0054%, or one death for every 18,594 detainees…. “For all the tumult and fury, ICE under Trump made no erroneous deportations through November. “By contrast, ICE under Obama deported two US citizens in fiscal year 2015, and two more in fiscal year 2016.” crimeresearch.org/2026/01/at…
