Yglesias’ latest newsletter seems on verge of making interesting point: US conservatives turn to praising Orban because it’s a way out of having to show loyalty to Trump, at least for a few days. https://t.co/FSTVeJuwxM https://t.co/vgNp4WLcUH

Was ready to join the denunciation of BIden’s eviction decree until I read this article denouncing it. Biden didn’t violate a SCOTUS order, but he violated “the beat of the dialogue” with the Court! What is this, American Bandstand?https://t.co/lS9tTEsmRW

Why’s it tanking? @Billscher blames “selfishness.” But which side expects the middle class to back a welfare revival-despite defects Scher mentions-just because, hey, they’re getting some cash too? The Dem/Niskanen assumpton that support can be bought with $ relies on selfishness https://t.co/FAJm0xv2qV

(Nor do I think, like Klein, that Tea Party was all about deficits. Remember “Hands off my Medicare”? A new movement shouldn’t be debt obsessed either. There’s immigration, crime, welfare for non-workers, CRT, etc.)

.@philipaklein notes possible Trump role, suggests he’s turned GOP away from Tea Party concern about debt. I’m suggesting it’s more personal/logistical than ideological. He just doesn’t want an anti-Biden movement that’s not about him. https://t.co/IOKPUq9jBx https://t.co/N0YQOJSq18

Thesis: Why has the normal “thermostatic” reaction to Biden’s policies–e.g. a new Tea Party–not yet materialized ? Answer: Trump. He insists on owning (and personalizing) any burgeoning grass roots movement. https://t.co/phPNydvSOA

At a supermarket just now they played recorded message trying (somewhat desperately) to attract workers, saying they offered “same day pay.” Not clear what that is. Do they issue a paycheck every day? (Not that it’s a bad idea. But seems like a lot of paperwork.)

Much Provincetown debunking, but doubt CDC based new policy just on P-town. Eg there’s Dane County, WI (WaPo: “The Wisconsin data showed that unvaccinated people were twice as likely to be infected as fully vaccinated people”–not as much as hoped). https://t.co/0NRTb1vhzQ https://t.co/dR7bpGF3PU
