Robert Reich here, with breaking news:
The House of Representatives has voted to take back a whopping $1.1 billion in federal funding for public broadcasting.
These are huge, crippling cuts,
and if passed by the Senate, they'll be a fatal blow to public radio and television stations around the country.
It's all part of Donald Trump's ongoing war on the free press.
He knows that independent journalism is one of the biggest obstacles to his authorita…

Help Robert Reich get the truth out.
Anything you can give will help us spread the truth, keep you informed, and stop our slide towards fascism.

Fear and loathing on study section: Reviewing grant proposals while the system is burning
As grants are canceled, delayed and subject to general uncertainty, participating in study sections can feel futile. But it’s more important than ever.

Confinement in QCD: A Hybrid String Model with Vortex Corrections and Entanglement Entropy
Confinement in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), binding quarks and gluons into hadrons, is characterized by a linear potential and the Wilson loop area law. We develop an analytical framework in $\text{SU(3)}$ gauge theory, proposing a hybrid effective string model that integrates chromoelectric flux tubes with topological corrections from \(\mathbb{Z}_3\) center vortices. Using strong-coupling expansion, we derive the Wilson loop expectation value, incorporating novel logarithmic vortex correctio…
