the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

UPDATE: The new Prime Minister that Macron just named is... Sebastien Lecornu.
Lecornu is the Prime Minister who Macron appointed in September, and who resigned on Monday because he couldn't form a government.
I don't know what to tell you—situation has been risible for a year.

Musk’s offer of free Starlink for the White House puzzled some former officials.

Meanwhile, there are a zillion (approximately) policies my team would love someone to think about how to measure the impact of—and conduct the study if it’s feasible.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.

Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
