NEW: last week a group of US hardline conservatives brought the National Conservatism conference to London. It fell completely flat. Why?

Because Britain and America are completely different societies.

Key chart: UK Cons are *way* more liberal than US Reps on ~every measure.

NEW: Ever gotten a call from the American Police Officers Alliance, or the American Veterans Honor Fund?

They're part of a nonprofit network that has raised a staggering $89M from small, usually conservative donors.

Picture this. An investor from the U.S. buys an abandoned building in Puerto Rico for $108k. Holds it for 7 years untouched and lists it for $360k.

In the meantime, locals illegally enter and use it to cook for ppl after the hurricane.

The “squatters” get to keep the building.

Lemme show you what may be the most bonkers graph in all of economics: The extent of recession talk over the past year and a half has becoming thoroughly detached from reality.

Recession talk is higher than during actual recessions, and has occurred despite rapid jobs growth.

More revelations on the financial ties between Clarence Thomas and billionaire pal Harlan Crow:

The GOP megadonor paid the private school tuition for a Thomas family member the Supreme Court justice raised "as a son."

And no, Thomas didn't disclose the payments. (THREAD)
