Tomorrow morning, I’ll join CNBC’s Squawk Box to talk about a new effort to tax the rich. The segment will air at 7:50 ET. I’m not referring to the so-called billionaire tax that President Biden called for in his State of the Union address last week. That almost certainly isn’t going anywhere. I’m talking about a

Harry mentioned the politics of the second-best in comments to his post on higher education the other day. I guess it falls into something of the same space as non-ideal theory or realism, as opposed to moralism. The basic idea is that we shouldn’t hold out for purity if doing so gets in the way […]

I guessed that most people would think that industrialists like Ford and Edison were opposed to fiat money, and in favour of “sound money”—money backed by gold or some other commodity. As this post will show, that is a false belief. These two industrialists were outright fans of fiat money—money created by the government—and critics … Continue reading "Ford and Edison, the anti gold bugs"
For conservative pundits reevaluating their life choices Watching conservative pundits and consultants reevaluate their life choices in the time of Trump is heartening. It doesn’t mean that the Bill Kristols and Mona Charons and Rick Wilsons won’t rediscover their three-legged roots once MAGA fever inevitably passes, but for now, they provide refreshing clarity about their Late Great Republican Party. Jennifer Rubin is enjoying seeing the cordyceps-infected in Congress taken down by Democrats. The GOP’s sideshow “hearings” that opened in the House last week are not going as planned. House committees may get C-SPAN coverage, but the forum is not as mine-free fro Republicans as Fox News. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), freshman Rep. Daniel S. Goldman (D-N.Y.) , and Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.) are nobody’s props. They came to puncture MAGA Republicans’ Chinese balloons. And did, repeatedly. Rubin writes: Democrats came to these hearings prepared and focused. They not only eviscerated GOP conspiracy theories but also did a bang-up job exposing Republicans as the ones who have “weaponized” the government.
‘Refugees are welcome here – fascism isn’t’, say crowds gathering to counter hate A large demonstration of Merseysides gathered in Knowsley this weekend at the Suites Knowsley hotel – the scene last week of far-right violence and hate toward refugees housed by the government at the hotel – to say loud and clear that refugees […]

If Democrats will let it Whether Republican or Democrat, it is not often that state power players fail to get their way in North Carolina politics. On Saturday, however, high-level Democrats’ pick for state party chair lost reelection in an upset to a young, rural activist. Center-left Carolina Forward, a nonprofit progressive research group, dubbed the election “a massive rebuke of the party establishment.” Anderson Clayton, 25, is chair in Person County (pop. 39,000) bordering Virginia north of Durham. N.C. Democrats’ State Executive Committee (SEC) chose Clayton over incumbent, Bobbie Richardson, 73, a former state House member and the party’s first Black chair elected in 2021. Richardson garnered endorsements from all seven Democratic members of the Congressional delegation, Attorney General Josh Stein, and Gov. Roy Cooper. Cooper delivered a prerecorded pitch for Richardson on the statewide Zoom call. Richardson brought endorsements. But Clayton brought game, too.
