Journalist at Reason. Fiscal policy, trade policy, stupid government tricks. Would rather be looking at mountains.

It's almost like economists DO understand tariffs. Could that be true?

I know I'm getting old because I can remember a time when Republicans were *outraged* about federal cops raiding a home to arrest and deport an illegal immigrant

Somehow "we're only preparing to attack Minnesota, not Greenland too" isn't reassuring me that the White House has things under control

Now, chocolateers large and small say tariffs are costing them. Hershey's could lose $100 million this year from the tariffs. Boutique chocolate makers, like Matt Weyandt, say the tariffs are imposing huge costs. And for what? We're not going to end up with more cocoa-farming jobs in the U.S.

Any serious approach to fiscal policy will recognize that America needs more immigrants, not fewer. Legal immigrants would be best, but even undocumented ones would be better than nothing, since they still pay payroll taxes.

Vance says illegal immigration is "the thing that will bankrupt this country more than any other policy." But illegal immigrants have never (as far as I'm aware) voted to borrow trillions of dollars. Vance did that just this week. Who is bankrupting the government? Congress.

The president has access to any and all information, no matter how classified, and Donny is getting his intelligence reports from Fox News like the Ultra Boomer that he is. Gotta respect his commitment to the bit.

It's fascinating how conservatives have been saying this crap for years, fully aware that they were duping their voters, and never considered that they might be duping their future president too.

Trump, a week ago: "Biden didn't even know what was being signed with his name!" Trump, yesterday: "I don't even know what is being signed with my name!" At least he's consistent 😅

If being Commerce Secretary is mostly just a make-work position for a president's friend (aka, donor)... Maybe we don't need the Commerce Department?

Straight bangers on the #XPNcountdown as it gets closer to the top 10 -- I don't think I can disagree with any of these choices (tho I would have put "When My Time Comes" a bit higher, personally)

It was this, but then I also linked to Ken Klippenstein's tweet that linked to the full dossier and it seems like that was my actual offense
