When @StoneZone47 started his PhD program at Clemson University, he knew something was missing from his economics classes. [...] Today, Stone credits the [Bastiat] fellowship with giving him the philosophical understanding and practical tools that transformed both his research approach and his career trajectory.

Magic Johnson on how special this Knicks team is:
Magic: “I don’t wanna hear no talk about Giannis, or no other player coming to this team. This is a great team. I’ve watched a lot of basketball. The way these guys love each other. Play for each other. Pull for one another. You’re not gonna see this anywhere else. The, grit, the toughness that’s how they beat you. Together.”
Stephen A: “You’re telling me, this team, as presently constructed, you wouldn’t change—”
Magic: “Nope.”
Stephen A: “Even if they don’t win the Finals, no changes?”
Magic: “You keep em together and make small changes. This team knows how to play so well with each other. And off of Brunson. Everybody is comfortable in their role. KAT could start for another team tomorrow. OG can go to another team and be a star. But he’s good to play his role. Bridges too. And Hart, no 2 guard rebounds like Josh Hart. So you’ve got the pieces, and they’re all happy.”
Stephen A: “But—”
Magic: “Now, if you trade for Giannis, how many dudes you gotta give up just to get him? It’s a different team now. The whole team changes.”
Stephen A: “That’s true.”
Magic: “This team. I love this team. I love the Knicks. They play basketball right. Don’t change.”

Check out my Mercatus Center Spotlight, speaking to my time as a Frederic Bastiat Fellow! Incredibly grateful to those at Mercatus who hosted these colloquia. Equipped me with a foundational understanding of mainline economics and applied Econ theories.

The SBA initiated a major rule change to its 8(a) BD Program. This program serves as a critical contracting opportunity for small business owners facing social hardships. I was glad to work with my colleagues in OGC to remove DEI criteria from 8(a) program sba.gov/article/2026/06/11/s…

The Committee of Five—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman—was appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago today.
Jefferson's draft of the document is here at the Library, and will be featured in a new exhibition opening July 3.

Happy 250 America 🇺🇸!! Celebrating thr greatest nation in the history of the world! The signing of the Declaration was a foundational moment for the ages. No other Natural Law📜 treatise exists like it. An enduring covenant to govern rightly by God's divine Providence.
250 years ago today, the Continental Congress assembled a committee of five to draft a Declaration of Independence from the British crown.
America’s story started here.

Super thrilled by the official trailer for the upcoming, supremely awesome Street Fighter film!! Provides an excitingly cool, reimagined, revamped take on the 1 vs 1 arcade classic from the 90s. Covers Ryu & Ken's reawakening & turbulent rentry into the global fighting tournament

The 2026 Street Fighter movie has the chance to become the best video game adaptation yet. Here's hoping they give fans the epic battles and iconic characters they deserve.

Good piece by Dr. Josh Rauh & Gregory Kearney of Hoover, exposing how the California Wealth Tax artificially inflates the tax burden of the super wealthy. They model how a simple mis-interpretation of what the tax covers would be financially catastrophic.

Minnesota officials knew about widespread welfare fraud for years before admitting it publicly.
A House Oversight report says the total lost to fraud may exceed $9 BILLION. Taxpayers deserved answers long ago!
