Live by the sword, die by the sword. Sounds like Swisher really wants to go to prison.

Capitol agenda: Dem gavels are coming for Elon Musk politi.co/4dPcGpd

From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in. In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes. In Spain, for affordable rent and housing. In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption. @JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south. He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment. The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few. This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future. In America, let us listen to our young. We need an economic and political transformation. America's Next New Deal.

Coffee shops boost innovation. 10% more Starbucks in an area --> 3-4% more inventions. People gather over a cuppa. They share ideas, discuss how to untangle a knotty problem, help see an issue from another perspective. These conversations lead to breakthroughs and inventions. A very fun paper finds that when Starbucks rolled out to a new county, it fueled a coffee-shop culture, urging more and more people to “grab a coffee” together. The authors compare the counties where Starbucks had rolled out to those where it had not yet arrived. And they find that the number of patents in caffeinated counties is meaningfully higher. This paper underscores how essential the face-to-face encounter is. Starbucks isn’t that old. People Could have picked up the phone and chatted at any time. People Could have dropped an email. Probably they did. But those connections didn’t yield the same insights and creativity. Turns out that a Cup of Joe really does help the knowledge flow. We talk about how much in-person connection boosts creativity in In Person. It’s out in just few days, so now is a great time to pre-order.

We have added the following Editors' Note to our recent coverage of the Israeli government's reaction to the NAZA documentary: "Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article included a statement that was intended to convey Israelis’ perception of the government’s military response to the Oct. 7 terror attack in relation to the attacks, but inadvertently suggested that Israelis’ experience as terror victims was a matter of perception. It has been removed from the article." nytimes.com/2026/09/14/world…

If you want to know what’s wrong with Washington, take a look at the Rand Paul/Dr. Fauci hearing. Pointing fingers and assigning blame rather than learning lessons to prevent the next pandemic. Where are the hearings on the measles outbreak? How about hearings on the cyclosporiasis outbreak? If that’s not enough to get you sick, this administration continues to leave Americans more vulnerable than ever to disease as they continue to dismantle the FDA and the CDC.

If voters in California approve the 5% billionaire wealth tax in November, Mark Zuckerberg would owe $10.5 billion in taxes & healthcare would be saved for 3 million low-income people. Poor Mr. Zuckerberg would only have $200 billion left to feed his family. How will he survive?

There was plenty senators could have asked Dr. Fauci about what lessons he learned, and the country should, from the COVID pandemic. Instead they engaged in an obvious attempt to demonize and entrap the 85-year-old, who received the Medal of Freedom from a Republican POTUS for the work he did to save millions here and abroad from the AIDS epidemic. This was not about public health. It was about one senators longstanding vendetta.

I’ve been asked by friends and media to comment on the recent Dr. Fauci document dump. There are plenty of people in Washington, D.C. who say and do things more for themselves than for our country. Tony Fauci is not one of them. He served this nation -mostly in the shadows - for 50+ years, until a pandemic and an election suddenly thrust him into the spotlight. Like any of us, I’m sure there are things he would do differently with the benefit of hindsight. But I 💯 believe everything he said and did was driven by the best intentions for our country. 1/3

Mum admired you, Dr. Fauci, and considered you a hero, as do I. Excerpt from Dr. Fauci's diary: "I received a call from Ethel and Kerry Kennedy explicitly inviting (me) up to Hyannisport for 4th of July weekend. They were so nice over the phone. They said that they loved and admired me and were so pleased that the Kennedy family could honor me." There's a right to privacy in our country, and the left, right, and middle can all agree that publishing someone's personal diaries is a clear violation. There's an exception for excerpts that reveal wrongdoing, corruption, or abuse. Sen. Rand Paul jeopardized all our rights when he wholesale published thousands of pages of Dr. Fauci's personal diaries. That's no way to treat a citizen. That's no way to treat a hero.

A proposed pledge for Elon Musk. An opportunity to put your money where your mouth is. If money won’t matter in 2036, why don’t you pledge to donate your current wealth of approximately $1 trillion to charity no later than 2036. This would establish with great credibility your belief in the powers of AI and technology. It would also assuage many people around the world who are worried about the political and social influence of billionaires and trillionaires. PS. The charities chosen for this should be approved as effective and non-ideological by an impartial body. Money Won't Matter in 2036 - Elon Musk. youtube.com/shorts/WTXv1It3l… via @YouTube

Why is the intelligence community so invested in the Fauci coverup? We went through mountains of evidence, and one line from an internal intel email stuck out: ‘Be careful about criticizing the Chinese having militarized this…because you realize we do the same.’ @JesseKellyDC

The test of any Prime Minister is: do you leave your country in a better place than you found it? I’m proud that the answer is yes.

I’m a U.S. citizen who will be rooting for Belgium tonight. Probably just me.

It’s 100 degrees and Democrats are still whispering about climate change 🙄 Thankfully, New Yorkers elected public power champions at the state and federal level to take on the fossil fuel industry and protect us from these deadly heat waves. New Yorkers demand climate action and democratic socialists will deliver.

Elon Musk says that no one died because of his demolition of USAID, and that "Kristof is lying through his teeth." So here I invite him to join me on a visit to Africa to see for himself: nytimes.com/2026/07/01/opini…

The criminalization of poverty in transit is not an abstract issue. For many justice affected New Yorkers, like Eduardo, unaffordable transit poses a daily gamble in which they're forced to jeopardize their freedom to access basic mobility. It's wrong, and @NYCMayor can put an end to it by expanding the Fair Fares program in this year's budget, due in just a few days on July 1. If not now, when?
