It's crazy how seeing this posted on LinkedIn triggered my memory of reading @JeremiahDJohns great piece from 2024: https://t.co/tLAX0BBlPn

@TahraHoops I don't watch a lot of TV (nor did I vote yesterday) but the only person I even saw ads for was Steyer.

Personally, the state might be better off with no one in Sacramento

Researchers found that California's proposed wealth tax would *lose* the state billions of dollars—once you factor in the normal taxes it will no longer collect from billionaires who've already left.

@EdWhelanEPPC It was all a big hail mary.

The nationalist right criticizes pro-growth policies as "fetishizing" GDP; the progressive left wants outright "degrowth."

My new @thedispatch column explains why both are badly wrong: GDP is (pretty) good and, if anything, understates modern well-being:

This is unmoored from reality. Most every mainstream economist accepts that companies pass off corporate taxes to workers, consumers & shareholders. It's also why Scandinavia—the democratic-socialist haven Sanders loves—has low corporate tax rates. Please read an economics book.

@Hale_Storm Lying judges and cheating red states are definitely the words of someone who has failed to cope with their career failures.

Nora Bussigny, a half-Arab French journalist, went undercover for a year in Leftist organisations—women's rights groups, "LGBT" activists, that sort of thing—and found this notoriously factional milieu had its binding agent at last: antisemitism. https://t.co/KzxDuEM4m3

You have to understand something about all the Ozempic scare stories - the entire weight loss industry is in meltdown right now. They made bank selling crap that didn’t work which you kept buying because it didn’t work and you blamed yourself. A one shot medical fix ruins them.

I’m in my fiftieth semester of law school and have grown my following on LinkedIn from a few hundred to over 1100 in 9 months.

It’s way more fun over there.

@senatorshoshana My first regular use of the em dash was in 2018 when I was doing sports writing.

The semicolon has a purpose but not in print(online) media.

@scottlincicome The important thing to know is Tom isn't getting elected

I was right by the way. Biden would have have won in 2016.

@jadler1969 Given that the Commerce Clause has been extended to things I grow and consume in my backyard. I’m pretty sure the church interference section of The FACE Act is safe.

@DanLennington @CaseyMattox_ Judges love to opine about striking down laws they don’t like. Judge Willet would like to strike down 922G on the same grounds. No one else has bought it yet.

[Jim Savell⚖️📚 @JimSavell]

@DanLennington @CaseyMattox_ There’s been plenty of cases that have challenged it on those grounds and the circuits have rejected the argument, but in the abortion context, but I don’t think it changes much.

US v. Dinwiddie, Eighth Circuit (where Minnesota resides) addressed the Commerce Clause issue.

I think that murdering 30,000 of your own citizens in 2 days is too much and that we should go in and kill the leaders of Iran.

Just my take.
