In this week's newsletter I wrote about Republicans' plan to win in 2026. Is it doing popular things? No, it's trying to get Democrats to nominate candidates with lots of baggage radio-free-america.beehiiv.com/p/why-are-mi...
Why Are Michigan Republicans Meddling in a Democratic Primary?st
Michigan Republicans target a Democratic primary, strategically backing a controversial candidate to influence the state senate special election race in a calculated political maneuver.

There’s debate about talking to the press tonight. I’ve tried to explain that two things are happening on the ground. Offensive, observing ICE like what Will is doing, and defensive, helping vulnerable people. I am fine if offense talks to responsible press as long as they take precaution.

People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.
People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

This is Rubio-level dereliction. The right way is in front of his face, he senses it. He’s just too dumb to act.

It’s a phenomenal time for everyone to revisit this piece from Sam Bell on Kevin Warsh from the last time this was about to happen medium.com/@sam_a_bell/...
Jared Kushner for Fed Chair?
A powerful, no-holds-barred New York scion paves the way for his smooth operating, ill-equipped son-in-law to wield the kind of awesome…

Some thoughts on one of the best friends I ever had.

The long-term borrowing costs that American businesses, families, and Uncle Sam face...those are based on more than one election cycle

If you're going to cut rates to please the current President, there's some additional inflation or future rate hikes that also get priced in...
What you can expect from Warsh as Fed Chair
-More emphasis on what suits POTUS if it's a Republican
-Sudden concerns about inflation and fiscal deficits the moment it's not an R in the WH.

Don't expect the Fed to be a good-faith broker if govt is divided in the next crisis
Sure sounds like Kevin Warsh is Trump's Fed Chair choice

His views mostly change based on which master he intends to serve, and general partisan convenience.

Thought rates were too low until...November 2024. What a shocker

Tired: Data-dependence
Wired: Presidential-dependence

I'm sorry, folks, but we're now more than a year in. If you're new to the fact that I consider it dangerous & unacceptable to presume that the administration won't comply with a lawful court order, that's on you at this point. I've been discussing this here & writing about it at Law Dork nonstop.

On any given day there are about 2800 commercial flights on Bombardier-built aircraft to, from, or within the United States. I'm sure pulling 180k daily seats out of service is no big deal.

Adding the A220 is another 650 daily, including the entire Breeze fleet (lots of JetBlue, Delta, too).

Cyndi Lauper is enormously popular in Japan. They play “Time After Time” everywhere. And when there’s like tragic news, like during 3/11 disaster, the list of American celebrities sending well wishes read on the news was like President Obama, Lady Gaga, Cyndi Lauper, and Tom Cruise.
You know who is a little underrated historically is Cyndi Lauper, she can sing and is genuinely a big old weirdo. That’s the two most important things about modern pop stars.

Tommy usually checks out by halftime anyway
Tuberville: "Unfortunately we've got the Woke Bowl, because we're getting more and more woke. We got Bad Bunny or Bad Rabbit at halftime. I'll be watching the TPUSA halftime show. It's just unfortunate we've gotten to this point."

The sad thing about Adam McKay is that he could just pull a David Lynch and say partisan politics are stupid, he's not getting involved, he'll let his art speak for itself and it'd be way more effective than any other intervention he could make.

The Minneapolis resistance is getting object lessons in what wrecking is in real-time, but unfortunately the lesson doesn't seem to be taking
Okay so unfortunately I’ve been removed from rapid response networks, at least in my immediate area. I think even alerting you of this would be deemed a violation of principles but given how much I’ve talked about it I do feel the need to say what’s up.
