Screenshot of a post from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute on X (formerly Twitter).

Cass Sunstein to Isaac Chotiner: All I meant by human rights was some category of fears that are walled off from government intrusion. If you say, I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of religion, private property, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, and I don’t believe in social security, I don’t believe in a right to a home, I don’t believe in a right to be free from discrimination, I don’t believe in a right to education, then you can still be a liberal.
NYT Kirk shooter update: “There were engravings on unfired ammunition left with the gun that officials believe was used in the shooting, Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah says in a news conference. One of them read, “Hey fascist! Catch!” the governor said, adding that another read, “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” an acronym for “laughing my ass off.””
Quote from the NYT story on shifting Zodiac signs: "Even by the 17th century, many astronomers were also practising astrologers. Johannes Kepler, who discovered how planets move in ellipses, probably learned astrology at college, and created horoscopes for friends and patrons. Galileo practiced astrology and sold horoscopes on the side. “Their side hustle was to cast horoscopes for their rich patrons because that paid the bills,” said Tyler Nordgren, an astronomer and author." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/upshot/zodiac-signs.html?smid=tw-share

Suggestions from age verification software trade group that seeks to establish a panopticon. It reads: Available Technology for Robust Location Verification Online gambling platforms must ensure that users are physically located in a jurisdiction where betting is legal before allowing them to place bets. These platforms use a combination of technologies to confirm a user’s actual location, including: GPS Data: If a user is accessing content on a mobile device, their device’s GPS (Global Positioning System) location can provide precise location data. Cell Tower & Wi-Fi Data: Analyzing nearby cell towers and Wi-Fi networks can help verify a user’s physical presence outside a regulated state. Device Sensors: Some applications can use barometer readings to detect changes in altitude, helping confirm a user’s physical location. Third-Party Verification Services: Companies (such as GeoComply) specialize in location compliance and use a combination of these technologies and other available data points to provide high-confidence geolocation verification.
It isn’t clear how the letter with Trump’s signature was prepared. Inside the outline of the naked woman was a typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in the third person. “Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything,” the note began. Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is. Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is. Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it. Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.

"Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church."
