I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below).

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"
Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

Giving Braverman the education brief is quite a choice for Reform. I was on an education commission with her once before she went completely mad and she knew absolutely nothing at all.

For sure - FPTP in a fragmented environment makes possible all sorts of bizarre outcomes, including a handsome Reform majority. But a party that's polling in the mid-twenties when conditions are so remarkably propitious is a party that can be beaten & that voters are reluctant to put in power.

The Chief Justice of the United States will literally change the rules of the Supreme Court of the United States instead of divesting in individual stocks.
NEW: The Supreme Court will begin requiring litigants in March to list the stock ticker for each party involved in a case to make it easier to check if a justice has a conflict of interest that might require recusal. #SCOTUS
Here are the changes: www.supremecourt.gov/filingandrul...

One of the more hopeful signs in UK politics is that Reform consistently struggles to poll above the mid-to-high 20s - despite a deteriorating economy, the simultaneous implosion of both the traditional parties and a pet TV station.

Reform is not some unstoppable force. It's eminently beatable.
Reform's polling is ~the lowest its been since last year's local elections

Every time Jim Jordan releases a report, he leaves personal info exposed:
✔️my home address

Tech companies get their employees' info shielded.

Does that remind you of another, bigger non-redaction scandal? 👀

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

That last sentence? That's the strategy. They've been pretty open about it.
“They’re trapped in this little confinement cell, a dark cell with no sunlight, with multiple people,” said Shaan Chatterjee, an attorney at New England Immigration Law. “They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation.”

So how does making Trade with the EU Slower, more Bureaucratic and thus more Expensive 'Help' that Trade and NOT diminish it ?

And if the additional Red Tape that your stupid Brexit has imposed on our Trade with the EU 'Not' Helped it, then WHY ARE WE STILL DOING IT ?

If it had been half the success they claim, they would not need to still be selling it.

It is like a car dealer extolling the handling of the car you bought that is now in the scrap yard after all the wheels fell off on the M1.

If only there was one region of the UK that was impacted by all scenarios & shocks, like covid, Ukraine but stayed in the EU Single market....like Northern Ireland!
HMRC just published payroll data for the UK...and it turns out, Northern Ireland is the *only* region in the UK with positive growth in the labour market.

NI is actually outperforming London in the labour market!

Which is unheard of in the 103 years history of NI as a UK region.

Brexiters argued that lowering trade barriers with non EU countries would more than offset raising them with the EU. This was very dumb because we trade so much more with the EU, it being so near and large, that that would never happen.

Another sign of not understanding the idea of a counterfactual. The cost of raising trade barriers does not 'depend on us'. Unless we choose to lower them again! Inside and outside the EU 'our future is in our hands'. If we choose to stay outside the EU, the cost of doing that has to be paid.

The predicted effect wasn't plucked from thin air, either, it was based on estimating the impact of trade frictions/prices on trade in the past [usually when countries lowered barriers; our stupid decision to raise trade barriers understandably had little prior precedent].

Honestly I don't know how you can be an MP and not understand the notion of the counterfactual; the whole point of the job is to vote for and implement changes in policy, the effect of which, relative to not doing it, you judge to be worth it. MPs are continual counterfactual analysts!
