I would say the Bob makes the fear that invoking the Insurrection Act somehow opens a path for Trump Authoritarianism a bit more plausible than I'd previously thought (which was plausibility=0). But it's still crazy. You make the call! https://t.co/TXYSi7H2KV

WHO'S PITCHING? Weird because in @RichLowry's piece it says Cotton and his team "decided to pitch an op-ed to the New York Times." https://t.co/LvMhSbijEv https://t.co/MhX64DZsKO

If you were the Deep State and could push a button to send out the signal to ex-officials and presidents to "Turn on Trump Now!," you would not push it this week. Way too early, no?

A much more complete account of the Lafayette protests than the New York Times with its "small basement fire."

Obvious problem is: If they're so upset at @NYTimes about opinions that threaten their cause that they won't publish them, what do the do with facts that threaten their cause? https://t.co/xSm2DhYwX7

If Weiss mischaracterized the internal NYT debate (I am open to the possibility) let's see the transcript of the meeting, the way we (somehow) saw a transcript of the famous Pinch/Raines "moose" meeting. Will be interesting. (Or did it all happen on Slack?) https://t.co/J8DyD4QufW

Coming soon, magisterial @anneapplebaum piece on whether @JBennet will be a careerist "collaborator" with the @NYTimes regime or a brave dissenter. (But it will really be about Ukraine.)

Don't quite understand the sharp military/police distinction here. Were our troops in Iraq killing the enemy, or policing, or being diplomats during, say, the surge. I'd say all three. https://t.co/o4zth3A1i9

Local pharmacy broken into Sat night. Smashed side door. Proprietor says every pharmacy in Bev Hills was broken into between 8PM and 11PM. Sounds well-organized. "What were they after?" "Drugs and money."

Problem #1: If Biden "embodies the politics of the past," so do Social Security & Medicare.
Problem #2: Focusing on net will highlight left's call for UBI-ie superdole. Can Biden distance from that? We seem headed for half the country on dole. Is that what swing voters want? 2/2— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) June 4, 2020

Referendum on Trump won't work, Ellis says. Better to punish Trump for his alliance with Ryan on safety net programs. "Paul Ryan Republicanism is a lot easier to beat than Donald Trump populism." Save the nets! Problems, though …>>>1/ https://t.co/DiWo6WLTnA
