What lawmakers are saying about Trump's demolition of the East Wing
Members of Congress are divided largely along party lines on the demolition of the East Wing of the White House to make room for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom that President Donald Trump wants to build. The stunning images of the teardown this week have left Democratic lawmakers incensed. Republicans, meanwhile, are likening it to a long line of White House renovations over the years. House Speaker Mike Johnson says “the ballroom is going to be glorious.” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schu…

Non-Normal Eigenvector Amplification in Multi-Dimensional Kesten Processes
Heavy-tailed fluctuations and power law statistics pervade physics, finance, and economics, yet their origin is often ascribed to systems poised near criticality. Here we show that such behavior can emerge far from instability through a universal mechanism of non-normal eigenvector amplification in multidimensional Kesten processes $x_{t+1}=A_t x_t+η_t$, where $A_t$ are random interaction matrices and $η_t$ represents external inputs, capturing the evolving interdependence among $N$ coupled c…
