“One of the more asinine liberal Zionist talking points is conceding that you are technically allowed to criticize Israel while insisting that it veers into antisemitism if you place more emphasis on Israel’s abuses than on abuses in other countries. If you believe Israel is worthy of disproportionately high levels of support, then you must necessarily also concede that it is worthy of disproportionately high levels of criticism. You cannot simultaneously claim that it is appropriate and normal for the United States to be gifting billions of dollars in weaponry to Israel, AND that Americans should pay no more attention to Israel’s humanitarian abuses than those seen in places like Sudan or the DRC.” (05/28/26)

“Former Democratic National Committee Chair U.S. Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) faces attacks by fellow Democrats for seeking to represent a heavily black congressional district in Florida. About this district, the Miami Herald wrote: ‘Under the previous map, the population of the majority-minority 20th District was 53% Black … and the newly drawn 20th District is 45% Black. At least five Black Democrats are also vying for the seat.’ Wasserman Schultz’s current district is approximately 43 percent Hispanic, 32 percent white, 15 percent black and five percent Asian. This district has been redrawn and will likely be won by a Republican. So, Wasserman announced her candidacy for the seat formerly held by former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a black woman who resigned in scandal but is running to regain her seat.” (05/28/26)

“In modern medicine, the zeitgeist today seems to be captured in one word: ‘more.’ We need more MRI machines, more screenings, more surgical interventions, more drugs, more doctors. More. More. More. Like the internal logic of capitalism that is built on eternal growth, so too is our health care system. Given this ever-expanding demand, we need to be asking some hard questions about whether sending even more of our collective wealth towards our healthcare system is producing good returns. We might expect that anything spent on healthcare provides good returns, but what if, frequently, those investments end in losses?” (05/28/26)

“Joseph Schumpeter, in Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942), offered a starkly realistic definition of democracy: it is not the rule of the people by the people, but ‘that institutional arrangement for arriving at political decisions in which individuals acquire the power to decide by means of a competitive struggle for the people’s vote.’ In this view, democracy functions as an elite contest, politicians and their coalitions vie for office, much like firms compete in a market. Once victorious, they wield state power not primarily for the public good but to reward supporters, secure reelection, and extract rents. Kenya’s post-1992 multiparty system embodies this Schumpeterian reality: competitive elections occur, yet governance remains ‘politicians’ rule,’ where the apparatus of the state serves the victors’ networks rather than the electorate.” (05/28/26)
