Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media. This was the largest study on emotional health in history. The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy." Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm: 🧵

The new Senate draft raises taxes on all wind and solar projects that haven't begun construction today unless they are placed service by end of 2027 and navigate complex, likely unworkable requirements to prove they don't use a drop of Chinese materials. After that, this bill

Zohranomics is an effective form of antifascist economic policy. The crisis of economic security that comes with basic questions of dignity & identity is being used by the far right. An agenda laser-focussed on the needs of ordinary people is the way out. John Cassidy The New Yorker

Awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress. But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/197409…

People are not getting how big of a deal this is. This is effectively ending the filibuster. Republicans circumvented the parliamentarian to do something with 50 votes that they knew wouldn't ordinarily be allowed. This opens the door to using reconciliation for *anything*.

⛳️❌👨‍💻 #SAFE HAVEN — Max Homa talks about why he stepped away from social media: “Twitter or X is an awful, awful place. It took me a while to catch onto how impactful that can be and how much of a waste of energy…” “I don't know if it's the gambling world or whatnot. I'm happy

Thanks very much to Morning Joe for inviting me on to talk about my new book--and also about the Big Odious Bill, and Mamdani. In my estimation, the Frankenstein legislation is another reflection of a political-economic system in crisis. msnbc.com/morning-joe/wa…
