He has a plan to solve every last problem the country has by abrogating free speech and taking control of social media. At least that’s what he says in his book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Just look at that title. Half the buzzwords ever spoken, right there. “Crisis” – everything is a crisis to the Murphys of the world. “Common good” – as far as I’ve ever been able...

The RFP from Tong’s office included some unusual requests, including asking firms to explain their efforts to promote “diversity,” listing “Workforce diversity, as evidence by the contractor’s current workforce diversity and its explanation of its current diversity and any plans or efforts it describes to improve or broaden its diversity” as one of its selection criteria.
