🚨 NEW: For the @WSJ, @Hartz_PhD and I expose the ideological takeover of the American Psychological Association. The APA is facing the possible loss of its federal accreditation authority following allegations of widespread antisemitism. But while the APA's antisemitism problem is serious, it's only a symptom of a much deeper ideological rot. The organization has become so captured by radical left-wing political activism that its commitment to scientific objectivity competence is now in serious doubt. We examined the program for this year's major APA Division 39 conference, which drew nearly 800 attendees and held 90 panels over four days. By our count, roughly 70 of the 90 panels were overtly political, and always left-wing. Topics included abolishing the family, queer anarchist psychoanalysis, dismantling gender assessment guidelines, and white supremacy. One session even concluded with a drag show. There was at least some hope that the threat of losing federal accreditation might prompt some institutional soul-searching. It didn't. Instead, APA members just elected Candice Hargons as their next president. Her campaign identifies "systemic intersectional oppression" as the profession's "common enemy" and calls for rejecting the traditional scientific notions of objectivity. Psychologists wield enormous influence over vulnerable patients, and the people seeking treatment deserve the peace of mind knowing that the care they're receiving care is evidence based and not tainted radical politics. We believe most would agree that federal accreditation should actually mean something. If the APA cannot distinguish its scientific mission from its political activism, the Education Department should reconsider whether it deserves the government's endorsement as an authority over psychological training.

Manhattan Institute's @judgeglock explains why DOGE's biggest achievement wasn't saving trillions, but shrinking the federal workforce by 270,000: "The usual take in the media is that @elonmusk came in, promised trillions of dollars of savings, and came up woefully short because he fundamentally didn’t understand how government worked. To some level, I give credit to that view." "If you don’t judge them relative to those claims, you judge them relative to what they actually accomplished, well, then it looks pretty reasonable." "The Federal Civil Service lost about 270,000 people. The workforce is 12% smaller than it was before, the fastest decline since World War II. And despite everyone in the media desperately trying to find stories about the federal government falling apart, it’s operating pretty much like it did before." @ManhattanInst

It's honestly insane. You have the greatest entrepreneurial genius of all time right in front of you. And on top of that, you're lucky he's completely sane. Give that kind of power to a Bill Gates and we'd already be living in 1984. You're corrupt to the bone, and you know full well you're lying. Instead of saying "ok, we lost, let's let Elon finish what he started," your first instinct is to want him in prison. For what, exactly? For soon giving sight back to the blind? For forcing the entire car industry to go electric? For launching, again and again, projects that move humanity forward? This class of corrupt Democrats makes me sick.
