Aaron's activity on May 5 was dominated by U.S. politics, with a few lighter threads mixed in. The most prominent political theme was redistricting and electoral accountability: he followed the Indiana primaries closely, where Trump was backing primary challengers against Republican state senators who had blocked his congressional gerrymandering push. He shared both a preview of the races and live NYT results. Related to courts and January 6, he also reposted sharp commentary on Callais v. Louisiana, noting that the lead plaintiff had attended the January 6 Capitol attack — prompting the observation that the "Temu Taney Court" had given him a second chance at undermining democracy through redistricting litigation. He reposted reporting on the VA investigating employees who attended a vigil for Alex Pretti, with the note that the vigil was off-hours, off federal property, and conducted in a personal capacity.

On immigration and refugee policy, Aaron amplified a striking data point: in April 2026, every one of the 1,570 refugees admitted to the United States was a white South African, and for all of FY 2026, only three non-South-African refugees — Afghans admitted back in November 2025 — had been accepted. He also reposted an FDA scoop from the NYT reporting that the agency had blocked the release of studies showing COVID and shingles vaccines were safe, including forcing staff to withdraw work heading toward publication.

A few smaller threads rounded out the day. Aaron engaged with a discussion about the economics of higher education — specifically the debate between human capital and signaling theories — and reposted commentary arguing that whatever college should be, in practice it functions largely as credentialing. He also reposted a thread pushing back on the assumption that Met Gala celebrities are uniformly wealthy, noting that many attend on sponsored tickets without paying for their own outfits. And he briefly weighed in on an unnamed politician, commenting that the person is "too good in the Senate" — suggesting ambivalence about them potentially moving on to another role.
