The Republican Party’s Worst Nightmare
Republicans have been trying to crush unions for decades, but American workers are fighting back with a vengeance.
Many GOP leaders wink and nod while talking about “making America great again,” as if the country was more prosperous when they were in charge.
Rubbish.
We’re going to be hearing a lot more about Mike Pompeo’s new book and it’s actually promising to be an interesting sideshow. Trump isn’t going to be happy about it, so it’s not all bad. From the Triad: Mike Pompeo, the former secretary of state, is coming out with a memoir to promote his 2024 presidential candidacy. In it, he writes that in early 2020, President Trump tried to quash Pompeo’s criticism of China. Here’s Pompeo’s account, according to an early peek at the book, as reported by Shelby Talcott and David Weigel in Semafor: This isn’t the first time the trade deal has come up in reporting about Trump, Xi, and COVID. Here’s the rest of the early 2020 sequence, as I previously outlined it in Slate: In the Slate article, I traced Trump’s behavior during those weeks: He adopted Xi’s talking points on COVID, defended Xi’s efforts to suppress bad news about the virus, and tried to copy some of Xi’s suppression tactics in the United States. Pompeo’s story backs up that analysis. Xi threatened the trade deal, and Trump responded by telling Pompeo to shut up.
“Hang on, isn’t that a constitutional responsibility?”

More red state proposals for children’s genital inspections. Here’s North Dakota this week: The North Dakota House of Representatives has introduced a bill that would strictly prohibit expanded use of pronouns outside of the gender that the person was born. House Bill 2199 restricts the definition of gender to the person’s natural gender at birth and then requires that all pronoun use be reflective of that same gender. Any violation by anyone who works at an institution that receives state funding, including public schools would be subject to a $1,500 fine. If gender is challenged, the bill puts the responsibility on the individual to prove their gender. “Say, they’re a boy, but they come to school and say they’re a girl. As far as that school is concerned in this bill, that person is still a boy. If it becomes contested, the burden will be on the girl, the so-called girl, or the boy, to prove that he is a girl,” said North Dakota State Senator David Clemens while speaking in favor of the bill.
