The distinction that @jamellebouie.net draws between unconstitutional and *anti-constitutional* acts is useful when underscoring that what we are witnessing is not simply an executive testing the bounds of his power. It is, fundamentally, regime change. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/o...

Over/under, at what minute mark does he ask for an Enabling Act to formally bypass Congress and rule entirely by decree?

It's commonplace for other countries to purchase USD and debt instruments to curry favor with the US, avoid tariffs, offset cost of mil deployments and aid, etc. Cheaper to buy some T coin and enrich one person and his cronies than subsidize an entire country! #quarterjoking

<thread> re: @dandrezner.bsky.social's new piece on the "madman theory." In 2017 @dknedal.bsky.social and I argued that Trump fundamentally misunderstands its logic. foreignpolicy.com/2017/04/18/t... /1

Trump’s ‘Madman Theory’ Isn’t Strategic Unpredictability. It’s Just Crazy.

What worked for the president on the campaign trail is now becoming his greatest foreign-policy weakness.

2nd: having nukes (even threatening to get them) makes war less likely to stay limited (recall Lindsay Graham in 2017 saying that if "if thousands die, they're going to die over there"), increases great power (not just US) incentive to restrain all parties and step in if s%!?* hits the fan

Dani K. Nedal @dknedal.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

I don't think there's outright consensus among proponents, but I've encountered 2 sets of related arguments, v. similar to UK (and to some extent FR): 1) existential deterrence; 2) entrapment. First, own nukes sub for lost conventional and nuclear retaliatory capability should US abandon them

Attempted self-coup by an unpopular president with waning support even with his own party. Expect a million plus people surrounding the presidential/MD compound by the time you land.

Donaldo Juan Trumperón, delivering on his promise do Make America Gran Again. Next on the agenda, purging the universities, military, and civil service.

Misogyny is, unfortunately, alive and well! @Madison_Schramm, Lori Crasnic & I find that women heads of government are more likely to be accused of corruption due to pervasive gendered beliefs about women and corruption. In CJPS www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Coming soon (on Dec 24!) to an internet near you, Madison Schramm and I explain how Congress can constrain the president's use of covert and clandestine operations even in the absence of effective formal oversight and despite partisan polarization and bickering. www.cambridge.org/core/element...
