Putting aside the insanity of putting Trump's face on the bill, the only thing having a $250 bill in circulation would accomplish would be to make it easier to do crimes

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. https://t.co/S8sqdKSB7i

Matt Yglesias and I have been arguing about policy since our days at The Weeds.

We agree on a lot -- which makes the disagreements way more interesting.

Introducing: The Argument, a new podcast where @mattyglesias and I, well, argue about politics, policy, and whatever else we're interested in that week.

Episodes start Thursday, April 9!

Not a coincidence that the people who grew up with the internet are doing *orders of magnitude* worse when it comes to emotional well-being.

The nonchalance of the agents after one of their own has just shot a woman is a dangerous sign.

They do not feel accountable to the public, they are not afraid of repercussions for their actions.

Incredible stuff

Narrative violation: Democrats have higher approval ratings on handling Covid-19 than Republicans
