Lie. Biden definitely wasn't "maxxing out" on "illegal immigration." Immigration activists denounced his policy as too draconian, and Dems tried to pass a hawkish immigration bill. Similar point re: Starmer. NYT thinks the op-ed page is for publishing lies, at least if the lies are right-wing. 6/x

After 2020 we tried putting this establishment back in charge, but the Biden era just gave us a more left-wing version of meritocratic hubris, replacing experts with interest groups, maxxing out on social liberalism and illegal immigration and then unraveling completely in the end. Something similar could be said about the Keir Starmer experiment in Britain. There is no evidence that the old elite has a blueprint suited to contemporary governance, no reason to expect that it won’t just cycle through the same mistakes and backlash.

sam alito believes the worst thing you could possibly do is accuse someone of racism. it is such a grave offense that it is worse than actual racism (which doesn’t exist). even the word “racist” hits his ears like a racial slur.

Turns out the "wonky" trick Republicans might use to get around budget reconcilation is...wait for it...lying.

NYTimes The Upshot: The Budget Trick the G.O.P. Might Use to Make a $4 Trillion Tax Cut Look Free: A maneuver so wonky that it might be best explained with sports cars and anime streaming

Republicans in Congress trying to advance a giant bill that includes $4 trillion in tax cut extensions are considering a novel strategy that would make the extension appear to be free. The trick: budgeting with the assumption that current policies extend indefinitely into the future - even those with an expiration date, like the 2017 tax cuts set to end next year. It's the difference between making the extension appear to cost $4 trillion or zero.
