Excellent š§µ about the very real rise in deadly antisemitism in this country (and by Trump allies such as Putin). We should call out both antisemitism and the Administration's corrupt exploitation of antisemitism as an excuse to stifle dissent. Antisemitismā¦

Inducing someone to make a deal depends on persuading them that the world with a deal is better than the world without. Trump shows everyone that it is chaos without a deal but also chaos with one. No wonder all he can get is sham deals.

Valuable š§µ about an episode in Russia's domination of Kazakhstan bearing striking resemblance to what it was doing to Ukrainians at the same time.

Within living memory, both parties used the ABA to get judicial nominees. Now apparently even the Fed Soc shows too little fealty to the King.

This gets easier to understand if one admits the obvious fact that tariffs are taxes. Enacting taxes is not a presidential power.

The House GOP was going to pass their bill in any event: the "moderates" and "deficit hawks" are fakes. But if 3 seriously ill Democrats had let someone else run for their seats last November, the GOP abstainers would have had to have voted for this vileā¦

Valuable š§µ from the perceptive Michael Pettis about how most of what we think we know about our trade deficit is wrong. As with many moralistic pseudo economic arguments, it's more projection than reality.

Serious question: if you were advising the leader of a country he doesn't like, would you recommend a WH visit, with the risk of getting the Zelenskii/Ramaphosa treatment? Not sure the WH visit is the plum it once was.

Agreed. I don't understand why progressives so prioritize, even lionize, individual leaders. The worst case of this was RBG, who was great but not irreplaceable. We should appreciate leaders but facilitate means for them to become respected senior advisorsā¦

Republicans term-limit committee chairs. It's a good idea. Republicans also subsidize retired Members with cushy jobs. That degrades independent judgment while in office but likely induces more to step down.

Russia's finances are just terrible. It cannot generate enough demand for its bonds to reliably break even, much less fund its war machine. It will have to print money, triggering even worse inflation.

Trump is so fond of saying that Putin holds all the cards. If so, why are golf carts in military parades and on the front lines (along with scooters and donkeys)?
