America has experienced oligarchy thrice in its brief history. The first was under the slaveholding founders The second, the robber barons, a century later. A third American oligarchy emerged around 1980 — and has only gotten more powerful.

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Under US law, it is nearly impossible for a person to file a civil rights lawsuit against an individual federal agent. But an increasing number of people harmed by ICE and DHS agents are filing tort claims: demanding monetary compensation from the federal government for what has been done to them.

In her Democratic National Convention acceptance speech, she summarized her position this way: * Israel has the right to defend itself. * The October 7 attack by Hamas was horrific. * The suffering in Gaza is heartbreaking.

She said: "I will not be silent" about the suffering in Gaza, while also reaffirming her commitment to Israel’s security. That speech was widely seen as signaling a somewhat tougher tone toward Israel than Biden had publicly taken, though not a fundamental break in policy.

* She also continued to support the long-standing U.S. goal of a two-state solution, with security for Israel and self-determination for Palestinians. One of her most notable campaign statements came after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in July 2024. She said:

* She consistently said Israel has a right to defend itself after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, and she said the U.S. should continue to ensure Israel can defend itself. * At the same time, she became more outspoken than President Biden about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

There's a concept in statistical learning called the "bias-variance tradeoff". One of the things you can take away from it is the value in pluralistic thinking: having many different tools for thinking is better than trying to find the one perfect way
