He's absolutely correct here. WH communications on the war and deportations, including from the president himself, have been sickening. They've been instrumental in diminishing the administration's credibility on both.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Whether the next president is a Republican or a Democrat, can we have someone with at least a little class next time? Because this is embarrassing.

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

When you elected Trump you guaranteed that many Americans would feel embarrassed by their president. It's baked into the package of elevating someone with such flagrant moral failings to lead the country. You have no choice but to tolerate this because it's downstream of your actions

We are allowed to have loaded magazines in America.

Whether the shooting was justified or not, simply being in possession of a gun with ammo is not proof of intentions to massacre anyone.

Sorry, I'm not giving up that premise to the federal government.

Some countries that have prosecuted or threatened to prosecute central bankers for the purpose of political intimidation or punishment for monetary policy decisions: Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

@COLmeBEAR14 @BrendanMorty So unbelievably back

[Cullen Roche @cullenroche]

Just to summarize what’s happened in the last few weeks:

They concocted this whole thing based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the global economy. They think manufacturing jobs will come back (they won’t). They think free trade made us poor, when it actually made us rich. They think the current account deficit is unsustainable when it’s a rounding error in our aggregate net worth and also accretive to our net worth. They think being the reserve currency is bad when it’s a sign that everyone wants to do business with us. And they think poor foreigners were taking advantage of us when we’re the richest economy in human history.

And to "fix" all of these "problems" they implemented the one policy idea that almost every economist alive says is bad.

And then when they implemented that idea they misunderstood the math behind the rationale and came up with numbers that were irrationally huge. So they had to backpedal.

And when bond yields moved a tiny bit higher they panicked and "fixed" all of this by making the numbers slightly smaller, but they clearly hadn't done the math again because the numbers are still way bigger than any economist would ever recommend they be. Then they patted themselves on the back because of intraday moves in stocks while an economic hurricane continues to barrel towards us because they have no idea what they’re doing.

Amazing stuff.

@NateSilver538 It's essentially Critical Trade Theory. Any trade imbalance between two countries is de facto evidence of systemic unfair trade practices.

Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday.

Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge.

Someone (maritime control?) transmits urgent alert to Maryland/Balt police dispatch…
