    I think a lot of people voted for Trump for very normal reasons like believing abortion should be illegal or wanting it to be easier for companies to do air pollution. But if the thing you care about is keeping adult children’s business interests out of policy, he’s a bad pick.

    Right I’m saying that if your #1 voting issue is “I’m worried that the president’s children have shady business deals that may influence public policy” then your only option in 2020 was Biden. Trump has more kids, they are more corrupt, and they wielded much more influence.

    Fecteau’s original bill was really excellent; it’s now been considerably watered-down thanks to these objections which is unfortunate.

    Just one man’s opinion but Ana de Armas does not really have the accent to be playing a character named Melinda.

    This is a landmark proposal from President Biden, a minimum tax that also applies to unrealized gains—as a prepayment against future capital gains. This should get serious consideration as a fair and efficient way to raise significant revenue.

    Kudos to for digging into this story, showing what it's like for the families, and bringing to light the disturbing irregularities and possibly illegalities in the state's behavior.

    Obama also sort of had a “personal” policy in the Middle East that was at odds with the actual policy of the U.S. government but in that case it seems to have been deliberate.

    The second one in a row!

    The WH is already walking it back. It was a dangerous, foolish thing to say and it’s dangerous to reveal we have a president who just blurts our grave policy positions that his government isn’t committed to enforcing.

    I think Biden should do more off-script gaffes on domestic politics where his old man instincts are closer to the electorate than his staff. But when addressing great power conflict you want to stick to the prepared text.

    Personally, I think Putin should agree to stop invading Ukraine and just continue enjoying the wealthy dictator lifestyle in a peaceful way.

    Two of the earliest politics books I read in the 1990s were ’s Demosclerosis and ’s The End of History and I think you sort of see those ideas dancing with each other in the western response to the invasion of Ukraine.
