Is anyone talking about Richard Primus’ new book? This would be a GREAT way for congress to begin fixing their learned helplessness. Primus analyzes anew the popular application of the enumerated powers in the book. (Hopefully I am grasping it correctly as a layman.) @richardprimus.bsky.social

There are a lot of important threads in here, but Trump getting one of his billionaire friends to fund the military really gets me. I want the troops to be paid. But a privately funded army, which evades Congress’s power to oversee how the $ is spent, should ring all our republican alarms.

It’s not often anymore that I get to be in a state where I’ve never been before. But having just crossed into West Virginia, today is such a day.
