I agree with Rush that scaling with allies is the way to match China. That's the most important thing everyone needs to focus on. But I think that before Xi used rare earth export controls, America was NOT serious about becoming independent in rare earths. So it had to happen.
Grateful to share my new piece in @nytimes. I write that there are moments in great-power politics when the tectonic plates seem to shift beneath us. The Busan Summit that froze the U.S.-China trade war was one of them. And if historians try to identify exactly when China…
I'm asking for you to support @TheFIREorg today because global, campus, and digital threats to speech are mounting & we rely on supporters who value principle over party.

If you want to know what's coming in 2026 for Minnesota businesses, start with the TCB 100. Our annual list highlights the leaders most likely to drive change in the year ahead... and we're revealing it live on Dec 3. tcbmag.com/events/poy25/
Minnesota is in a nationwide competition against other states for people, talent and investment.... And we are losing. Reasonable people can disagree about the causes/ solutions. But there should be zero tolerance for those who deny it is happening. Minnesota deserves better.

I really appreciated @publicroad's response to this question about why they don't use the term Christian Nationalism in their coverage at the @nytimes. As I said at a conference at Notre Dame recently - I don't know what the term actually means. nytimes.com/2025/11/19/us/…
New study: Mice treated with GLP1s saw body-wide anti-aging effects. Notably, the effects were present in older mice on minimal dosage that didn’t even cause weight loss. Caveat: No, humans aren’t mice. Prediction: Yes, I think maybe we’ll all be micro dosing GLP1 in a decade.
