France can’t stop talking about Gabriel Zucman — and his wealth tax The 38-year-old economist has a recipe to save the EU’s second-biggest economy from a debt crisis — but will the government dare take it?

By these measures, the second term of Trump is a travesty.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.

Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

If the Marshals Go Rogue, Courts Have Other Ways to Enforce their Orders Opinion | Even a rogue marshal’s service is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.
