Let's be clear.

Globalism cannot be stopped.
It can only be interfered with.

Good, bad, or indifferent... the world is a single, complex, system.

Globalism isn't a philosophy. It's an acceptance of reality.

What we see now, in the US, & elsewhere, is a vain attempt, driven by misplaced nationalism, to "de-globalize" our world.

Never does any good come from the undisciplined and thoughtless severing of connections in complex systems. Never.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Problem with a "fair tax" is it can shift the burden to lower income folks who spend a higher percentage of their income.

A fair tax could cost "average" American more than the current income tax. Loudermilk talks like a rich person who thinks he is an "average" earner.

Judge Tanya Chutkan has to see they are gaslighting her.
DOJ won't answer a federal judge's questions today about how many federal employees were fired last week or how many might be in the coming weeks—and submits a sworn declaration making a claim the judge found doubtful:

That Elon Musk "has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions."

I am extremely freaking thrilled to announce that Bad Company is *officially* available for preorder wherever you buy books. (I am linking to Bookshop but buy it wherever!) I worked so, so hard on this book, and it would mean a ton to me if you ordered it. bookshop.org/a/109816/978...

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
