“Next to Wilders, the election’s most disappointing performance was by Frans Timmermans, 64, a former executive vice president of the European Commission. He led GreenLeft-Labor to a surprise election loss, despite nominally leading the opposition to a disastrous government.”

The Netherlands just elected a young, upbeat, openly gay prime minister who’s talking optimism, growth, and even building new cities, and somehow, it’s working!

A reminder that before he was blowing up boats under supposed war authority based on bogus accusations of terrorism, the President sent hundreds of men to CECOT under supposed war authority based on bogus accusations of terrorism.

new kind of chart crime dropped
G1, prominent Brazilian news outlet, posted an approval rating graph which has an inverted Y axis.
Despite Governor Cláudio Castro's approval rating increasing 10% (from 43% to 53%), the approval line appears decreasing.

We have a piece by Stan running Monday on the generational shifts in the Netherlands.
Tim Miller is cheered up by the Netherlands electing a young, upbeat, openly gay center-left prime minister who’s talking optimism, growth, and even building new cities. AEI’s Stan Veuger mostly concurs. A fun and interesting conversation.

look man one very consistent feature of concierge access to politicians is that you have to be current on your subscription, and rather than renewing you mailed in what appeared to be a bag of dog shit you had already (?) lit on fire
 Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

i do think Dems should moderate on immigration in the sense that Dems should redesign our immigration policy to work like people think it works: you wait for a while (but not forever) to get into the country and then you wait for a while (but not forever) to become a citizen.

Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw.

"Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks.

Lairmore won't confirm.

"I did not go back to collect it," he says.

Still 100% the best heuristic. An independent critical thinker who reads broadly and does their own research will, 99% of the time, end up hilariously less well informed than someone who credulously and uncritically believes everything in the NYT news section or the AP wire.
"We can only trust the newspapers owned by the wealthy elite"

This dude must have been wallet inspected so many times
I feel one million years old here, but we do actually have a pretty reliable way of knowing what news is true. Did a real newspaper publish it? Then probably yes. Can’t find it in a real newspaper? Maybe not.
