Points of Return on how different universities are approaching the question of whether they should divest from companies doing business with Israel. It's a fascinating and difficult problem, much like the Middle East conflict itself:

Some called it a capitulation or a mea culpa, but I don't see it that way. Mark Zuckerberg's letter to Rep Jim Jordan's House Judiciary Committee was his attempt to reset some ground rules around how the White House can lean on social networks. He's wise to do so, no matter who ends up President.

JD Vance recently attacked VP Kamala Harris over energy prices, including a big increase in pump prices since President Biden took office. He forgot to mention gasoline demand (and prices) imploded in Trump's final year due to Covid-19. Must have slipped Vance's mind. But he also neglected to say another thing: In real terms, gas prices are about where they were in the summer of 2019, when Trump was in the Oval Office and before the pandemic struck.
