1/ Good discussion here on public policy response to COVID-19 with @DarrenJBeattie and President @realDonaldTrump, with Trump focusing on decision to defer response to the States in “the federalist way.”

2/President Trump also suggests that, in retrospect, “whether you closed it or not,” (I think the “it” Trump was referring to was international travel), that there was “no difference” in pandemic outcomes.

First time I recall Trump saying this.

3/ Interesting also that Trump specifically cited Florida as a state that “closed down,” perhaps forecasting how he might distinguish his position from DeSantis in a primary.

1/ @DavidAFrench’s #TwitterFiles thread is emblematic of his shrug-your-shoulders approach to the law of Big Tech censorship.

French’s legal views on Silicon Valley are in tension with his prior positions, including with a 2005 book he co-authored while at @TheFIREorg.

2/ French says the #TwitterFiles show “pervasive jawboning”—“government efforts to convince or cajole private actors to change their behavior”— but that analysis of the files “contains…little nuance.” French then invites us to consider the government speech doctrine.

3a/ Set aside the point that French’s critiques of efforts to keep gender identity education out of K-3rd grade classrooms sometimes lack “nuance.” Here, for example, he flatly asserts those efforts show “[t]he American right has lost the plot on free speech.”
