*Social Security trust fund is now projected to run out in 2032, at which point benefits will be slashed unless Congress passes a new law. There is no plan from the administration to deal with this, but senators elected in November will face it before their six-year term is up.

What a (deliberate) distraction the term AI "agent" has been from the real human agents of his current mess.

Stephen Miller wants to get rid of as many immigrant kids as possible because he's the architect of an ethnic cleansing campaign.

He sees Black and Brown kids as a threat to his own children, who he's raising on a military base because he and his wife are terrified of the world around them.

DHS is actually accusing hundreds of cruise line employees of possessing CSAM materials and revoking their visas without filing criminal charges. It's a way of bumping up their numbers without having to prove anything

Trump banning media outlets from the WH over their coverage is unlikely to affect their reporting much, but it is yet another example of how the right wing definition of “free speech” is that they can say what they want and you can say what they want. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

In a bitter May runoff, Texas Republicans nominated Bo French, an investor with only the vaguest glimmer of industry experience and a mostly irrelevant and racist political program that calls for deporting 100 million people, purging the nation of Muslims, and emulating a defunct apartheid state.
Bo French sent a tweet so racist, his own party finally took notice. It's just the tip of the iceberg.
How a regulatory agency you've never heard of became a test case for Republican extremism.

I got a *remarkably quick* rejection email from a tenure track job that I applied to. Rejections are part of the process!

However, if you’re going to screen candidates with ai, please don’t ask for more than a cv and let us know! It’s a lot of time learning about your dept, writing and tailoring.

Also, seriously, give some thought to your department picture. It's literally the way you present yourself to current and potential students. Tons of different ways to do it, but the slapdash way that most faculty just put up a random picture and leave it there for 20 years is crazy to me.
