4. Yglesias instead seems to implicitly argue that politicians should only do what wins elections, virtue be damned. One wonders what he thinks of those foolish 1850s abolitionists. As Condleeza Rice once said, politics is the art of making the impossible inevitable. That ain't this.

Kinda glad I decided to go onto BlueSky because holy shit
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...
Opinion | Obama Supported It. The Left in Canada and Norway Does. Why Don’t Democrats?

3. Leadership is about doing what is necessary, not just what is popular. Read literally anything our founders wrote about virtue, and the inherent risks to a society based on democratic processes to sustain the rule of law to the extent that unvirtuous people gain power.

The benefits of doing this is that if Trump is still in the public eye he's going to have a series of hilariously funny meltdowns.
“.. I expect that there will be a systematic undoing of most all of these changes when the Democrats return to control of the White House,” he said, calling the renamings without congressional approval “ludicrous actions.”

That and just a misunderstanding of linear time, if that makes any sense? Don't think of it as "getting back to where we were" because that's depressing AND impossible. You literally CAN'T "go back". Think of it as "The future is unwritten, America. Build what you want."

I see people looking at this and saying it’s because Denmark’s health care system is better than the US’s and so we need vaccination more than they do, except fuck that entirely. That itself is an antivax view. This article makes clear that Denmark is a weird antivax outlier even in Europe.
Should the US adopt Denmark's vaccine schedule for children? @jakescottmd.bsky.social argues no in a piece that points out the risks such a move would pose for American kids. www.statnews.com/2025/12/19/d...
Why Denmark's vaccine schedule works for Denmark — but not for the United States
With its vaccine schedule, “Denmark has made a values choice to accept preventable hospitalizations and illnesses that other countries have chosen to prevent.”

In China, they are openly stating that Russia will collapse, and they need to seize at least a third of its territory.
“China should prepare for the worst: if Russia collapses, this territory of 7 million km² cannot be lost”, - such an article was published on the popular Chinese resource NetEase

Trump doing a nullification crisis because of the ballroom is not what I had on the bingo card, but I really should have because its entirely on the nose.
the crashout if he's enjoined from building his ballroom is going to be spectacular, it's all he cares about these days
NEW: A hearing is set for Tuesday in the National Trust's lawsuit challenging Trump's White House ballroom plans.
The case has been assigned to Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee. He has ordered DOJ to respond by 5p Monday to the Trust's TRO request and set a hearing for 3:30p Tuesday.
