Trump didn't kill Donald, which has been falling for decades. He just failed to inspire a revival. People aren't naming babies after politicians. No Barack or Hilary bounces either. familyinequality.wordpress.com/2020/10/29/a...

The editor's key argument here is basically: I was just in Israel, and my friends were not talking about this, and therefore its not relevant news to a non-Israeli audience.

Not going to lie - this one hurts. I was actually talking to someone about this over dinner tonight and predicted the opposite. You don't need a lot of people to be pro-Trump to cause an increase in Donalds. But not even that. Now, I realize our tribe is dying because of one shitheel.

American is the only rich country without universal health care, and this guy's take is that our conditional, incomplete, and fragmented public health insurance was too generous, and dangerous to the people who benefited from it.

What can Dems actually do about DOGE? A Democratic Congress has a real opportunity to engage in the type of oversight that DOGE has avoided thus far. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/blockers-a...
Here is a tangible short-run action to hold DOGE accountable. Lets assume Democrats gain control of Congress in November. There is an existing DOGE subcommittee in the House. Reconfigure it with staff and members able to make it do the job it has failed to do thus far: provide real oversight of DOGE. Run hearings that puts former DOGE members under oath. Call whistleblowers the DOJ has ignored. Call the “blockers” Lewis wrote about and other witnesses to abuse. Create public salience and a record that will lay the groundwork for criminal investigations in 2029. Establish credible signals that they won’t get away with it.

The military wants you to commit to it but it won't commit to you. That's how the idea of voluntary service dies and nations turn to forced conscription when they need cannon fodder.

This is such a scoop. For many reasons, including: Trump had made a couple of comments about Omar in the first term, but neither she nor Somali Americans were a Trump obsession at that time. (But Somalis _were_ a Miller obsession.) www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
washingtonpost.com
Trump officials scrutinized Omar in 2019. They didn’t find citizenship issues.
The earlier review of Omar’s immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now.

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

If nothing else, this is just bad economics at this point. I know some people think this is a market-based approach that makes users become more careful consumers of health, but we've added co-pays for decades and it reduces access for low income people. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/is-economi...

Indeed they did. This is an important change that will make biomedical science like cancer and dementia research worse, by allowing newly political roles (program officials now under Schedule F/P/C and IC directors chosen by politicals) free rein to choose projects to fund.
