@RishiSunak

I’m watching @RishiSunak v. @trussliz closely for what it portends for U.K., Europe and of course U.S. New PM will get a brief honeymoon and has to move quickly to put their stamp on the future as an election is two years off. Almost every senior executive misses one thing: 1

@JoeBiden

How very little time they have to implement their key legislative objectives. @JoeBiden chose to spend billions on an inflationary splurge, but got nothing lasting like immigration reform. Former Presidents Trump and Obama picked tax cuts and Obamacare respectively. 2

Trump also got three #SCOTUS nominations which is his most lasting legacy, and the Abraham Accords, many deregulatory wins and the First Step Act, but not “the Wall,” and not party momentum. In two party systems, party momentum must be achieved. 3

@CapehartJ

I'll be joining @CapehartJ and @Eugene_Robinson on @PostLive this AM, discussing the Nancy Pelosi 1/6 Committee and Justice Thomas' concurrence in Dobbs. On the latter point of what the justice said and didn't say, there is a crucial passage. 1

Do "other constitutional provisions guarantee the myriad rights that our substantive due process cases have generated...[are] any of the rights announced in [the] substantive due process cases...'privileges or immunities of citizens of the U.S. protected by the 14th Amendment"? 2

Justice Thomas' long battle against "substantive due process" is a lonely crusade and w/o allies on #SCOTUS in the Dobbs decision. But he does not telegraph the end of same sex marriage or contraception. Absurd to say there is a "threat" to either. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf… 3

There is a lot a speculation the day after the earthquake that shook #SCOTUS about the leaker. That individual broke faith w/ a 230+ year tradition, one of crucial importance to the rule of law. I hope they are discovered, punished. But presumption of innocence is even older. 1

Much as everyone inside the Beltway, Manhattan-Beltway Big Journalism, the pro-life and pro-abortion rights movements and the vast legal community would like for various reasons to speculate and even accuse, don't. Leave it to Chief Justice and his colleagues. 2

I'm still shocked by this breach and did not read or speak to a single informed Court watcher who wasn't. It was a despicable undertaken by a fanatic. But presumption of innocence means we should wait and see, not speculate and in our minds convict. Don't drop to leaker's level.3

@terrypluto

Every sports community —like Northeast Ohio aka “The Land”— deserves a writer/columnist like @terrypluto. Once a week the Dean of Cleveland sportswriters sits down w/ @illibuck9 for “Terry’s Talking,” a near perfect podcast. (This week’s is here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ter…) 1

@terrypluto

What @terrypluto brings to a podcast is a deep appreciation for all of the games, the players, coaches, front offices, owners and especially the fans. Terry’s also a very grounded Christian who writes an “On Faith” column weekly which gets covered by David and him in the show. 2

There is a vibrant good will in the podcast but also a sharp eye on all the various games and players. It’s hard to appreciate what a sports columnist can mean to a fan base, e.g. Ray Fitzgerald for Boston back in my years there or Jim Murray when I first moved to SoCal. 3

@RoKhanna

What Rep @RoKhanna appeals for in his new book “Dignity in a Digital Age” is basic civility in American discourse online. The book is a fine statement of the progressive agenda w/ which I disagree but he’s candid, funny, polite and smart. Give a listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ukr… 1

@PaulBegala

The transcript will be posted tonight (and the audio is already up at the website) but reactions tell me that legacy media is missing the chance to build the old Crossfire audience. John Stewart was very wrong when he attacked it. @PaulBegala and @TuckerCarlson ran a good show 2

Stewart attacked it…why? Because it discussed politics and gave equal time to right and left, with names and faces attached. No shouting. Tough, pointed questions. Some laughs. Why has CNN+ failed? B/c no one needs another bubble. They could use Crossfire x24 hours. 3

I doubt you recall the 1993 general election in Canada. The conservatives up north lost all but 2 of their 156 seats in Parliament. That’s a drubbing. U.S. Democrats have to be wondering if they are headed towards the American equivalent of that smash-up. 1

@JoeBiden

Every issue, foreign and domestic but especially domestic, has turned against them. Inflation is of course their greatest curse, and their fingerprints are there —the massive spending of @JoeBiden (who wanted even more…thank you Senator Manchin.) 2

Then there is the bungled Covid efforts, still with us as CDC extends mask mandates on airplanes and in airports. The war on domestic energy production haunts us and the world, as does an inability to right the supply chain snarl. 3
