The #s aren't important. It's how we got here & how we get out. Hi debt stems from R tax cuts-- Reagan (1980s), Bush (2000s) & 2 Trump tax cuts. Tax revenues relative to GDP fell by over 2%. Now R's want to cut government spending to deal with their problem. Please don't fall into their trap!

Talking With Barry Eichengreen Crises, the dollar and more

Eichengreen: "I was Lisa Cook's PhD dissertation supervisor here at UC Berkeley in 1997. I know nothing about mortgage documentation. But I think I do know quite a bit about the character of the individual here. I know Lisa to be careful and ethical."

The show can go on. If people boycott other CBS shows, and write letters of complaint, CBS may decide to recompute whether it makes sense to get rid of #Colbert

And journalism, like that of @nathantankus.bsky.social is a public good, something that benefits everyone and that it is cheaper and easier to provide with public support.

Is there a published work/paper? This looks fascinating.

I want an alternative to Twitter to survive and thrive I think it’s important for BS to grow as a way to offset or diminish the cultural and political impact that Twitter has.

This is why I care.

NEW PIECE: the recent court of International Trade case provides a rich history of the President's executive control of tariffs. So rich in fact, that this is just about that fascinating legal history. This is essentially a history of 20th century economic policy

Some problems with Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill wapo.st/4d8bSKs

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

The Novel and the Secret Police - Boston Review In Vineland, his underappreciated 1990 novel, Thomas Pynchon anticipated a United States in which security would become the greatest good.

“Put all this together and what you get is a full vision of Pynchon’s United States, circa 1984, but also circa 1990, and also, echoingly, thereafter: a ‘scabland garrison state’ where freedom is whatever you have left after the agents of security have had their way.”

Happy birthday Thomas Pynchon!
