Hi! Morning Consult is eliminating its newsroom. That's a real bummer, I worked there! Looks like it is also discontinuing the Tech Brief newsletter, which I wrote daily for an audience of 12,000 (and growing). That sucks!

From my conversation with ousted FTC commissioner Alvaro Bedoya and Protect Democracy's Jared Davidson: https://t.co/QLLd3heQ0t
If it weren't for the tariffs, this would be one of the biggest stories in the world right now. From Bloomberg economist @D_W_Wilcox:

"We're not a bank!" Zuck, you literally tried to launch your own currency.
On Rogan, Zuckerberg says he doesn't know what the CFPB is or why it's investigating Meta. The truth is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau defends people from corporate abuse. Meta has been accused of illegally using people's financial data in its ad business.

Not exactly a rebuff of the critique that the healthcare industry is increasingly a profit-driven racket, bud! "The real crime is his hypocrisy." Okay, man.

imo it's explainable UHC killer is "anti-capitalist" and a Tucker Carlson/Musk/Thiel follower. They all position themselves as anti-establishment. Of course they don't want to tear down systems of oppression; they want to control them. But plenty of followers don't see that part.

Ask these motherfuckers what they’ll be sacrificing instead of telling you that you’ll have to.
Getting Americans & their representatives to decline funding the government has ALREADY promised them, and that they fought hard to get, is going to be an extremely difficult task. DOGE is going to require collective sacrifice and a culture switch from: “I need to get

100%. They are seen as apolitical but push reactionary views through “non-political” content. Benefits their reach: platforms/backers can fund them without “taking sides,” not suppressed by algos that punish political content. A libbed up Rogan won’t get same Trojan horse effect.
One of the problems with the argument that liberals need to "build their own Joe Rogan/Theo Von" etc. is that while those podcasts all have politics, they were not constructed with politics in mind

American intelligence agencies: Russia has a robust and sophisticated disinformation network and its agents are prepared to utilize advanced technological methods to sew chaos and disruption. Russian agent, calling a polling place in Atlanta: Hello, is your refrigerator running?

Great to see Fantano use his success to create opportunities for others and fill the void created by private equity hollowing out media properties. That said, sad to see an exploitative pay-per-click model here. Incentivizes the wrong things and rarely works in a writer's favor.

It's not taxes. It's killing antitrust, removing regulatory guardrails, prioritizing corporate profit at the expense of user safety. And for this dude, it's because he scammed a bunch of students, lost credibility, and has nothing left but to suck up to less scrupulous people.
If you think that the big names in Silicon Valley are supporting candidates solely because of taxes you’re conveniently entirely missing the plot

Some people say JD Vance was a terrible VC but he's clearly starting to see some return on this investment.
It's funny to watch Dem partisans like this try to convince themselves that a young Marine -- raised in poverty, with a massively popular book on the US working class, and has the Teamsters Union President gushing over how much he's done for workers -- is political poison:

$1,000 is a lot of money, I hope this helps.
I really need American tech writers to stop writing from this weirdly broke/frugal POV that only you guys do. Why is $999 out of reach for most “normal humans”? Especially for you Americans who could drop close to $999 a month to fund a car.

should we be concerned that the professors who are taking on the greatest risk of being beaten and arrested seem to be mostly historians

Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.

Job boards are still rife with 'ghost jobs'. What's the point?

Employers are posting seemingly open roles that were never meant to be filled at all.
