Revealing piece from Bruce Bartlett explaining how even back in the 1980s, the Heritage Foundation understood how to play the news media in ways other think tanks didn't:

brucebartlett.substack.com/p/my-days-at...
![Heritage also understood that time-pressed reporters were already adopting the horrid he-said/she-said style that plagues journalism today. If we got wind that some world-class Brookings scholar was due to release a book on, say, national health insurance that made an original contribution to knowledge in the field, someone at Heritage would quickly draft a short paper rehashing the same old talking points attacking national health insurance that had been around forever and release it the same day as the Brookings study. More often than not, we would get a story in the Washington Post the next day saying little more than this: “Today the Brookings Institution published a book, 3 tears in the making, advocating national health insurance, and the Heritage Foundation released a report on the same subject saying it would bankrupt the nation and lead to a deterioration in health quality.” Reporters never distinguished between the quality of one study and the shallowness of the other; they both got conflated and prevented the other side from getting traction on an issue.[vi] This method still works today.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlnirjwff4ibiw3wchmleszo/bafkreiabn6zsn47fjy7fdtsz56sqyl22sg6werwfjmgi3f7tbemrfyucna@jpeg)

This is exactly what we need scholars and think tanks to be doing right now.
We need to be able to hit the ground running with well-thought out ideas on how to strengthen every hole trump has used to gut our govt, our economy, foreign relations, military, judiciary (SCOTUS), Constitution, etc.

The failure of legal actions to fight corruption at the highest levels of government reinforces the need for legislation and other congressional actions. Our latest report offers recommendations for strengthening the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses: bit.ly/3XdgCaq
Codifying the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses
To prevent corruption, the Constitution prohibits the president and other officials from receiving untoward benefits. Congress, however, must take action to enable enforcement.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

Here is just one of my ideas about building data centers. They are needed. But each city, county, and state that allows one to be built should write in the approval permits. They MUST build on-site solar or wind generation systems to supply 125% of the power needed to run the site. while operating.

Anyone who believes that the Senators who voted for the non-deal did so without Schumer’s consent while he votes no for show is gullible & naive. You either do this with a plan and exit strategy or you don’t do it at all. There is a disconnect between Dem voters & Sen leadership.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.
