Alfredo Gutierrez was the G.O.A.T. There is much to miss about the passing of Gutierrez and his era of legislative leadership. https://t.co/M8R0HoYYiJ

Now that Trump has demonstrated what Americans don't want in immigration enforcement, what's next? Taking @SenRubenGallego's immigration framework seriously. https://t.co/ONhAlx7CEN

Prop. 123 extension: The case for an education lobby initiative. The GOP school choice-higher distribution combo is blatantly unconstitutional. https://t.co/LE5avVRjen

Yee boards a MAGA train. Arguing that the ESA program has too much oversight, rather than too little, won't be politically fruitful. https://t.co/fYlP9fBY4I

The Political Notebook: A tax cut or avoiding a tax increase? It's too early for Arizona Democrats to be crying in their beer over the 2026 election. https://t.co/TSaHnOCpYg

The Trump endgame: managed trade. The flow of goods across borders will be decided more by agreements between political leaders, and less by the market forces of comparative advantage and consumer preferences. https://t.co/iCWPdv27Hr

The Trump blitzkrieg has been a political loser. The body politic might want change, but not chaos. https://t.co/idL1neg9xg

[Robert Robb @RJRobb]

The sorry state of state government politics. The brouhaha over a funding shortfall for DD programs is a measure of political incompetence all around. https://t.co/Ug59vY5xAa

[Robert Robb @RJRobb]

For congressional Republicans, will enough ever be enough? Do any of them have a "sacred honor" to pledge? https://t.co/splsy7WhVi

Tariff tantrums and contradictions. As in geopolitics, the Trump effect will cause a realignment in trade. https://t.co/IpZfb2WGtu

Anti-wokeism goes too far. What the Trump administration is getting right, and wrong. https://t.co/lHirQad6Gk

Latest episode of The Political Notebook podcast with @billyrobb33. Topics: What's the constitutional alarm level at this point in the Trump presidency? What about the Democratic opposition and the role of Kelly and Gallego? https://t.co/15SpNfzUGq

[Robert Robb @RJRobb]

Democrats struggle over an opposition strategy. Trump generates his own opposition. Don't do things that narrow a potentially broad opposition coalition. https://t.co/aLOyejhb1w

[Robert Robb @RJRobb]

Let voters decide about an early ballot cutoff. The trade-off between the speed of knowing the outcome and the convenience of dropping off an early ballot is appropriate to submit to the entire body politic. https://t.co/NwdSpDSdAT

[Robert Robb @RJRobb]

New episode of The Political Notebook podcast, together with @billyrobb33. Topics: Are we headed for a Trump recession? An early look at the GOP gubernatorial primary. https://t.co/H88nGhOmRH

[Robert Robb @RJRobb]

The hard and wrong Prop. 123 renewal. GOP legislators support only half of the school choice equation. https://t.co/eXTzjdqrzh

[Robert Robb @RJRobb]

The DOGE dodge. For the cause of fixing the finances of the federal government, DOGE is a destructive and distracting sideshow. https://t.co/wWTWmP6RkY

[Robert Robb @RJRobb]

Give the market a chance on housing. Only freeing up supply and demand can produce the volume and diversity of housing stock required to broadly restore affordability. Politically, it's worth holding out for. https://t.co/0tHOrYayPb
