NYT reports AK Dems put spoiler candidate on ballot with same name as Republican incumbent senator.
Dems: "Yawn," "It's just politics," "Nothing illegal," "I don't like it but it doesn't matter," "norms, schmorms."
A week later, MI Dem politician endorses GOP senate candidate.
Dems: "This is the biggest outrage since the Defenestration of Prague!" "this will radicalize people!" "this Quisling should be flayed alive!" "Why has she not been turned into a pillar of salt yet?!?"

I used Claude to dig into funding that used the language of identity politics in recent years...

Since 2000, NIH and NSF have put about $1.5 billion into research grants that use terms like “structural racism,” “intersectionality” and “antiracism.”
The biggest funder wasn’t the science agency you’d expect.
NIH, the health agency, paid $1.23B across 882 projects. NSF paid $302M across 527 awards.
NIH outspent NSF about 4 to 1.

“That guy’s the best general. Put him in charge of the troops.”
“But he’s the enemy’s general, sir.”
“Oh, didn’t realize you hate meritocracy.”

The timeline is a spike, not a slope.
$79M in 2020. After the protests and Biden’s Day One equity order, $371M in 2023. After Trump’s 2025 DEI orders, $68M in 2026.
Down 82% from the peak.

In a weird way, everybody is rooting for you. When you go to a job interview, the interviewer wants you to be amazing so they don’t have to look anymore. when you go on a date, the person wants to have an amazing date with you. If you make a piece of content, people want to see amazing pieces of content and they have no problem if it’s yours.
the instant you get into the mindset that people want you to do well, your entire world gets better. And you’ll be shocked to know this pattern keeps repeating in different areas of life.

Western civilization is not failing. America is great now.
We lead the world, and will continue to, for the foreseeable future.

Federal money is the fastest lever. It rose 4.7× in three years, then fell 82% in three more.
What lasts is endowed: chairs, university funds and tenure outlive any grant.
