A country in which law is king asks not whether government hardball works but whether it is legal. | @AndrewCMcCarthy

🚨 Social media just helped topple a government.

What happened in Kathmandu is being called history’s first social media insurrection.

Here’s the story — and why some like @NoahCRothman are asking if it could happen here. 🧵 It began with a ban.

Nepal began shutting down dozens of social media platforms in the country, aiming for deals giving the gov’t control of content, like the government had brokered with TikTok in 2023.

A handful of red states are making notable gains in K-12 education and putting their big-spending peers to shame.

Their success has come to be called the Southern surge, and it deserves more attention. | @rickhess99

🧵👇🔗 What’s driving the good results in student performance?

Promoted from problem (which it is) to existential threat (which it is not), climate change has answered doomsayers’ prayers.

It opens up so many ways to control our behavior--for the good of the planet, of course. | @AStuttaford

Liberals lost control of the Court.

That’s what’s behind the recent barrage of “ethics” charges. | @baseballcrank

nationalreview.com/magazine/2023/… Much of the Left’s rage stems from knowing that it can no longer influence the current Court majority.

The conservative justices aren’t hated by progressives for corruption, but for their integrity. | @baseballcrank

Is the Republican Party a sensible political party?

If so, it will stop nominating cranks and oddballs favored by Trump.

It will see the flashing lights on the control panel and move on to something new.

nationalreview.com/magazine/2022/… There is a considerable difference between winning because people favor your agenda and winning because you’re not the other guy.

And this was almost entirely a not-the-other-guy sort of election. | @charlescwcooke
