On a relatively light day, Aaron engaged with a handful of political and policy topics. He reposted commentary on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's executive order tightening restrictions on data centers — requiring local approvals and self-sufficient power — and endorsed the framing that the right approach is not to ban them outright but to impose meaningful constraints. He also shared concern about the Stars and Stripes publisher's abrupt retirement, citing irreconcilable differences with the Pentagon's direction for the publication. On the FCC front, he highlighted the context behind Disney's lawsuit against the commission — that the investigation was launched by Brendan Carr, a Project 2025 architect, shortly after Disney shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal.

Aaron also reposted criticism of falling childhood vaccination rates and their connection to declining herd immunity against measles, as well as concern about global rearmament driven by Trump's foreign policy failures, particularly South Korea's moves toward reclaiming operational control of its military. He added his own note about an unspecified political figure — likely a Republican — considering a run for office, expressing worry that a campaign could complicate prospects for future criminal prosecution. He also reposted commentary drawing a line between AI-generated slop in academic writing and longstanding problems of low-quality work in graduate school and academia more broadly.
