These Dems were negotiating as if it were 1999. They’re nearsighted and disconnected from the gravity of this moment in the history of the republic. This type of thinking is a major reason why Trump is in power in the first place. It’s heartbreaking.

“This is a great opportunity for us to make sure that all companies are reassured that when you come to the United States, you’ll know what the rules of the game are,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said. https://to.pbs.org/488p3KR
Noem says immigration raid at Hyundai plant in Georgia won't deter investment in the U.S.
Noem says the detainees would be deported and the raid shows companies the importance of companies following U.S. laws.

As Brooks writes, common good was replaced by savage individualism. Other points are a bit shaky: Judaism, Christianity, Islam didn’t bring moral order to the Middle Ages. The Muslim conquest, the Crusades were political projects cloaked in morality. But indeed, good, evil today are interchangeable.
Why do so many people think Donald Trump is good? The work of a moral philosopher helps illuminate some central questions of our time, David Brooks argues.

This what it looks like when the federal government pushes off a cliff the states in hurricane alley. But Americans voted for this. Elections have consequences.
Forecasters will imminently lose observations crucial for hurricane tracking and prediction, as data from three NOAA/DOD satellites will go unmonitored.
The satellites aren't being decommissioned. The agencies will simply stop providing the satellites' data.

Powell’s response is very reasonable. While we’re at it, are we looking at all the gold plated stuff at the White House? Or events to promote Trump’s family businesses?
We had a strange start to Fed Chair Powell's senate testimony today, with a starting gate detour into an expensive Fed office renovation situation and what Powell said was crappy coverage of the situation.
Powell calls reports of lavish Fed building renovations inaccurate
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday pushed back against reports the central bank was spending money excessively on renovations, saying that the almost 90-year-old headquarters "was not really safe," while acknowledging cost overruns.
