Lisa Cook is ALLEGED to have committed crimes by a man who was CONVICTED of 34 felonies. Due process matters. A country based on the rule of law that attracts foreign capital because of that promise should be steadfast in opposition to her termination.
When I said yesterday that this was only about racism it kicked up a nest of trolls. But the second part is the one that hurts us all - white, black, racist and tolerant alike. We will all be poorer if the world loses faith in the US economy.
@JustinWolfers noted yesterday that really bad things happen when you don't have an independent monetary policy committed to low inflation and/or don't have an executive committed to upholding the rule of law. Image

Van Drew is of course full of shit. He's a disposable sycophant who gets some TV time prior to his disposal. But just to humor him, let's pretend for a moment that you are Dr. Evil and are setting out to tamper with our democracy. How would you do it? (thread)
1. It's worth going through this exercise because if you want to catch a criminal, you have to think like a criminal. So assume you have nefarious intent but want to minimize your chances of getting caught and spend the fewest possible resources to flip the most possible votes.
2. Everything Van Drew describes is actually really hard on both fronts. States have voter registries. Your ballot may be slightly different from your neighbors ballot a few blocks away because you're in a different fire/school/library/judicial/etc district.

Scott Bessent is a smart guy. But he only got the job as Treasury Secretary because Trump knows how to identify people who will roll over for him. Which is to say, he knows better. So let’s fact check his oped in today’s WaPo, shall we? washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
1. First, if you want to understand what the crypto legislation that passed the House will actually do to financial markets, here are the facts.
2. Let’s define terms. “Blockchain technology” is just accounting. It’s a digital tag, tied to a digital purchase that records the buyer and seller. It is interesting, if not especially sexy. To the extent people can’t use it it’s because it doesn’t meet robust audit standards. Image

Just learned that Mike Johnson, before coming to Congress claimed to be the Dean of a law school named after a pedophile. Which may explain a few things. Notably… Image

… he then voted to table a resolution I introduced to compel the release of the Matt Gaetz ethics report, which also included significant allegations of underage sexual abuse. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024490
Anyway, just worth pointing out that his decision to send the House home early rather than force release of the Epstein files is far from the first time he’s put the interests of sex offenders ahead of their victims.

This is anti-scientific, immoral and economically irresponsible. I say this without hyperbole - when the history of this era is written, Donald Trump will have been responsible for more deaths than Stalin, Mao and Hitler combined. nytimes.com/2025/07/22/cli…
Millions, if not billions will die if we don't address climate change; some will survive but if rivers keep moving, coasts keep eroding, fires keep burning we will be forced to become migratory. That is a choice.
And that's of course in addition to the millions the are condemning to death from USAID cuts, or curtailing vaccines, and so much more. It is a trail of avoidable, wanton death. npr.org/sections/goats…

I’m not wild about the cynicism here, partly because it blames all of Congress for things the Republican majority is jamming through, but more because it assumes that our founders actually created a Representative democracy. Some morning musings: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
1. To the first point, there are a host of issues that are squarely in the Democratic platform that regularly pass the House when Dems are in power but are blocked by Rs. Women’s rights, sensible gun control, campaign finance reform. All are supported by strong majorities.
2. There is no equivalent in today’s Republican platform but - and humor me on this before you blow up the mentions - that’s not entirely the Republican’s fault.
