Congress should demand a return to the Constitution in exchange for any funding. Trump won't agree, but it's like Charles I. No funding for an autocratic ruler.

I met a group of dubai-brits in Prague and they were gushing about how they make about the same money as they did in the UK, but now they can afford a nanny, housekeeper, and cook. They also boasted how they'll sometimes just stop paying and see how long they'll work without pay. All while laughing.

One of the things living abroad taught me is that a) itâs very nice to have servants and b) a society which makes it possible for an upper-middle-class person to have servants is deeply unjust and inequitable.

The draft proposal being considered is for a 60-day ceasefire extension, not a lasting peace. It *might* lead to the blockades being loosened during the ceasefire, but even that seems uncertain.

Hypothetical polling showed Talarico doing about 1-2 points better against Paxton than Cornyn. That is not an earth-shattering difference â but it might be enough in a close race. Ds lost TX by 2.6 points in 2018, w a D+7-8 national environment. GB is on track for that now. It kinda... just adds up

The military NEVER says âCanât do it boss, got nothing for thatâ even if itâs true: the incentives are always to say yes. Second, it has a lot of influence over the means (the instruments) even when it pretends not to have it. And they choose what they want, not what the right tool is.

There are valid reasons for that at tactical levels but as one reaches senior levels where the right thing for the country is sometimes to say, "Sorry, Secretary/President, great as our military is we are likely to fail if we try to do that"

Beyond that, it's military culture. Officers are developed in a system where you're always supposed to have a can-do answner, never bring your boss a problem without also bringing a solution, and accept taht if your commander orders you do to something hopeless, you do it

One thing I find striking - apart from the open admission that he's lying about what the law is to achieve his desired policy outcome (his 'moral position') - is the admission that the moment he made that (bad) argument, the press rushed to lift him up as an equal to the, y'know, real arguments.
