Exactly. Thank you. We need columnists to educate and inform us so we can make the world better. But this rage at the NYT is based on an old belief that reading a column is like taking action. Sadly, it’s not.

I agree with most of what @mattyglesias.bsky.social says here. I’m glad that Dems focused on climate change, but the fact that so much of the party just agreed on it, including Joe Manchin (!) was the key reason it was central to Biden’s policy agenda.

The latest version of the Senate's BBB is a death sentence for US energy leadership and a giant gift to China. It eliminates tax cuts for solar that have been around since 2005, adds a new tax on solar after 2027, and creates a new direct subsidy for coal.

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.* Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: “The President's federal deployment of the National Guard over the official wishes of a governor is bad for all Americans concerned about freedom of speech and states rights. The governor has the authority and ability to respond to the civil disturbances with law enforcement capabilities within his state, augmented as necessary by requesting law enforcement assistance from other governors. There are over a million badged and trained members of law enforcement in this country for the governor to ask for help if he needs it. While this is presently a legal order, it tramples the governor’s rights and obligations to protect his people. This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”
