The Mexican film CORINA is streaming on Hulu/Disney+ now. It’s a story about a young woman with dreams of being a writer but afraid of stepping outside of her comfort zone. It has often been compared to AMÉLIE. I reviewed it for @variety.com: variety.com/2025/film/re...

Basically there's a lot of backward projection on China's economy, and not a right lot of serious analysis. And there wasn't enough of the latter before, a charge I do think is fair.

I'm also not sure there is a realistic history in which the US and EU basically get together to stop China's growth and maintain their own pre-eminence, not least after the financial crisis reduced confidence in their own economies.

Based on my experience it would be correct to say that EU and US policy makers did not really consider the impacts of China as a growing economy, but then neither did they consider an increasingly fractious west where populism became endemic www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

This is also said about Europe's approach to China and I simply don't believe this is true. I was at conferences with senior US folk in the early 2010s and none thought China would become more democratic or liberal.

this is pretty much only a 1990s thing, it is mostly gone by the late 2000s. the greed/business side is still there, not the liberalization fantasy.

2026 is *already* an anti-incumbency mini-wave just based on the number of retirees and non-runnings being the second highest since 2012. There will be more, and most actual primary challenges haven't announced yet. Most of this was already baked-in.

The GOP does seem to be treating the healthcare cliff as a problem now, and I think you can firmly place that on election results from last Tuesday

Trying to claim Jar Jar Binks of all characters as woke is the most tone death thing ever. Not surprising though considering this guy also called someone a "cunt" for not liking the movies that had THIS beautiful display. WHY is it a crazy assumption to say these Film Grifters are "MAGA Lite" again?

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

NEW: Looks like Thune got around the unanimous consent problem, and the senate could vote TONIGHT on the FINAL shutdown deal, meaning the House would open Wednesday to take it up. Tell me if I'm reading this wrong...

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.
