Let me be clear: Congress authorizes any military action into Venezuela, not the president. I'll keep holding the Administration accountable for their actions.

Back in Ireland last summer while the Oasis concert was happening. About half the discourse was not about the music but about the use of dynamic pricing for tickets, which seemingly left everyone feeling worse off. Because of loss aversion, ppl focus on the sense they are being ripped off.
i absolutely hate this genre of economicsplainer that tries to justify basically any practice as being the rational and good outcome of properly aligned incentives, in the process completely missing the point. www.economicforces.xyz/p/instacarts...

If you think Trump's march to authoritarian power is unstoppable - or already a fait accompli - just note how panicked and weak he was tonight and he wheedled and whined about nothing is his fault.
That's not a man who thinks he's winning.

So...
1. How much pressure was placed on the broadcast networks by FCC Chair Carr to air what turned out to be an idiotic tantrum?
2. How much of a mistake was it for the Trump regime to expose Trump's dementia/insanity to a much larger TV audience while preempting very popular programming?

It’s no longer an “if.” Premiums are going up because Republicans in Congress didn’t want to extend the ACA tax credits. Working families deserve better, and I’m not going to stop fighting to lower health care costs.

Important post: my colleague documents an “official, nationwide policy of intimidating and threatening people who attempt to observe and record DHS operations,” or who peacefully and without interference follow and protest them, even though the First Amendment broadly protects doing those things. /1
On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...
