Scott Bessent is easily Trump's most grown-up cabinet member (as low a bar as that is). And yet he committed a grave ethical lapse yesterday, as @pkrugman.bsky.social notes.

Amazing how England's Conservatives were in power for 14 years and everyone got completely fed up with them to the point that Labour clobbered them last year, only for them to turn around and say "haha just kidding, Tories again"

The damage is done. As an example soybeans need to be going into the ground right now. Farmers are sitting on millions of dollars in seeds alone and their export contacts are now gone. ADM just shut down a soybean processing plant in S. Carolina. No exports, no jobs. Done.

Six months since leaving the ICU. Two months after that at Physical therapy they were like “what are your goals?”
I said “I want to be able to pick up all my kids at once”.
Helluva thing.

One thing that should be said about every voter suppression law is how unnecessary they are. Voter impersonation is the one crime we have all but eliminated with extensive cross checks, burdens, & enforcement. Meanwhile, we do almost nothing to fight the most common crime in America—wage theft.

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.
