Trump’s Message to Ukraine Is Now Crystal Clear
The president’s actions over the past 72 hours look like an effort to force Kyiv to surrender.

What about a majority with enough votes to end debate on a bill? Cloture?

Can't believe Donald Trump missed out on the Nobel Peace Prize again. There's always next year, I guess...

This is still my favorite measles editorial cartoon. It was published by The New Yorker on February 2, 2015, created by cartoonist Emily Flake. Know any better? Please post in comments ⤵️

This is essential. But has everyone in DC forgotten that Trump has a veto for the next two years? That word does not appear here once. The next two years have to be about getting everything lined up for 2029. And not overpromising deliverables in the meantime. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump’s opponents are planning efforts to reverse his changes to presidency
As the midterms approach, some of the president’s foes are working to ensure his aggressive approach to executive power doesn’t outlast him.

… steel mill 15 miles away. The mill shut down 2 years later. I graduated 4 years later with an BS in electrical engineering. My starting salary was about 5% higher than what I got paid 4 years earlier starting in a steel mill

There may be an alternate framing to this. In 1973 I was a member of Steelworkers of America union. As an *entry* level millwright helper I was earning 1.3x of median household income ($10k/yr). Was I making too much money? Steel from Italy was shipped to the U.S. instead of from the … /1

This would be the equivalent of sports coverage devoting itself to reporting on gambling markets instead of the game. Because real reporting on real stories is hard.

Andrew - I think what happened is that the Hispanic population doesn’t see themselves as monolithic. Mexican Hispanics thought ICE would target lazy Venezuelans. Cubans thought they’d target Mexicans. Etc They realize now ICE sees them as a monolith It’s not delusion. The ICE pitch was targeted

If you need a refresher about the issues involved in release of Vol. 2 of Jack Smith’s report, you’re not alone. The case was briefed months ago, but has been sitting on the court’s docket waiting for oral argument. I wrote about it back then: joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-pas...
