The level of tariffs that aren’t too disruptive won’t bring much benefit.

And the level of tariffs that will bring significant benefits are intolerably disruptive.

“The executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all the might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.” 💥
This is one of the most remarkable court opinions I have ever read. This makes it as clear as possible that the very legitimacy of our structure of government stands on the edge of the abyss. The language, speaking directly to the Executive - extraordinary.

The President of the United States - Openly bragging about his extorting of law firms for 100’s of millions of $’s.
Trump: "Have you noticed that lots of law firms have been signing up with Trump? $100 million. Another $100 million for -- ah -- damages that they've done ... they give me a lot of money considering they've done nothing wrong."

Fascism is fundamentally a politics based on aesthetics, and you can do a pretty good job of understanding the American administration through that lens.

Whether it's the fetish for manufacturing, or influencers doing content creation collabs with ICE, it's all about the aesthetics.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”

Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.

The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.
