“When China sees a problem, they fix it” say the cancel culture warriors.

Problems include academic freedom, criticism of party leaders, demands for autonomy or human rights. Image
Which is more plausible: the people who compare China favorably to the US:
*have principled beliefs in protecting free speech and the marketplace of ideas
*are comfortable with state suppression of speech they personally disagree with Image
There was a bit on Fox a week or so ago about how Russia and China were more supportive of free speech than America (in between bits where they attacked President Biden), and that is the deep level of unseriousness and propaganda we are dealing with here.

Having shot down one Biden nominee using the entirely novel "mean tweets" criterion, GOP Senators are now going after others. The problem is, the mean tweets in question are pretty accurate. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
Biden's nominee for Associate Attorney General, Vanita Gupta, had some harsh words for the GOP convention. But also accurate! She should be blocked for this?
Even more of a stretch, Tom Cotton and Marco Rubio objected to a nominee because he tweeted a quote of an opinion columnist. Doesn't even have to be their own words to be disqualifying!

Wisconsin senior citizen, who in the last year has retreated to a world of conspiracy theories and quack medical cures, has some thoughts about cognitive decline among the elderly.
Biden, who has a history of making gaffes, spent the last year winning in a crowded Dem field, handling Trump in two debates, running a gaffe-free campaign and transition, passing a massive anti-poverty legislation and ramping up COVID response.
But they are still pushing this.
Trump regularly misspoke, stumbled over words, made massive misstatements and misjudgments, and all of the "Biden has cognitive decline" guys treated him like he was playing 12 dimensional chess while wrestling a bear. Come on!

So while DC policy wonks have been arguing about the children allowance, the public seems largely unaware of it. If it is going to survive beyond the COVID bill funding, that requires a massive public awareness and branding campaign.
The popularity of the children allowance also depends on *actually getting it to people in need.* Relying on IRS to distribute the aid is not of much help when the most in need don't file taxes.
Social Security was controversial when it was created but succeeded by relentless branding and making access to benefits easy (they used the post office before social security offices existed). That is why SSA would be a better agency than IRS to distribute the child benefit IMO

What did Trumpism as an administrative doctrine mean for the management of public services? In this short piece in @PAReview, @AlasdairRoberts and I try to make sense of it all. Some big takeaways. 1/ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pu…
Given the chaos of the Trump administration it might seem foolish to try to detect a coherent administrative agenda. But all Presidents have some sort of de facto style of managing. There were the key aspects of the Trump regime: 2/
We wrote this piece just after the election, and what we thought was a bold prediction then feels like a conventional wisdom now. Some version of Trumpism will remain a potent force that shapes how we govern in America. 3/
