I've often felt that I missed my calling by not becoming a comedy writer. In fact, my dissertation advisor told me that many times.

So 35% of people with graduate degrees don't consider character, competence or respect for the Constitution important. It's sickening.

I deeply regret that I began contributing to the Fetterman campaign the day he declared. What a tragic disappointment.

Trump's trade war probably qualifies as the greatest madness in economic policy in a developed country after WWII: 1. All decisions are made by one single person (Trump). 2. No principles are applied. 3. No economic rationale or theory. 4. All is based on Trump's emotions. /1

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Republicans thought they were getting people who would expose the Deep State pedophiles with Trump, Bongino and Patel. Instead, they got their protectors. Maxwell just got rewarded with a nicer prison, and in exchange, the pedophiles stay concealed. Hell of a legacy, fellas.

This is how democracies die. Step 1: Dislike the facts. Step 2: Attack the fact-finders. Step 3: Replace them with loyalists. Step 4: Control the "truth."

Dr. Erika McEntarfer has devoted her career to public service. She has conducted herself as BLS Commissioner with great integrity. There is no evidence whatsoever that BLS data are politically biased. #econsky

The US is at risk of losing the competition with China — mainly because of what it is doing to itself. On science, technology, research, and immigration, the Trump administration is shooting itself not just in the foot, but in the head. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/ivodaald...

There is no surer way to get other democracies to recognize a Palestinian state than for Trump to tell them not to. His grasp of statecraft is toddler level.

The stupidity of Republicans trying to fabricate a story about the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election to deflect attention from the Epstein story is jaw dropping. It was an investigation into the 2016 election. THAT TRUMP WON.

The sad thing is that his motivation, as always, is how this reflects on him rather than doing the right thing or promoting US national interests.

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

I predicted a year and half ago that Israel would win the battle and lose the war because it prioritized the military domain rather than the narrative. That is often a recipe for failure in counterinsurgency.
