A little early to decide it wasn’t no? We’re at the “Yay, Qaddaffi’s dead!” stage, having already created a massive refugee wave that has badly damaged the EU. https://t.co/nsRlFeRfsx

@POLITICOPro Wouldn’t there be lobbyists who need info even in a reformed, democratic regulatory state where regulations had to pass Congress like other laws. Yes! But there would be less info to need. How many articles on Lisa Murkowski can you read?

TAKE 2: @PoliticoPro depends on The Swamp–a complex regulatory state, including the headless 4th branch of agencies, with lots of lobbyists and players who think they need 24/7 info. No Swamp, no subs.

BACKUP TAKE! If @Politico gets a hot scoop about a major change in Congress, is it going in the $3,000/year “Politico Pro” or the free Web Politico? Answer: The latter. “Pro” is a way to take B material and overcharge customers who pay for it because they pass the cost to… https://t.co/3zxHcDHfr7

ASSIGNMENT DESK: As long as NGO corruption’s hot, what about NGOs that don’t just get $, but actually send their people to staff government agencies-people loyal to NGOs, not to pols. Like Zuckbucks but for all of government! Sen. Grassley and @alexthomp have been on the case. 1/ https://t.co/5tzxpkGa0Z

Very important for Dems to retain the Civil Rights Model of politics: on virtually every issue, it’s not just that Dems have the better arguments, or even that they are right. They are morally good and their opponents (the Bull Connors) are morally evil. https://t.co/HxwfGzn9sJ

This story (link here https://t.co/TO2MeqSwy1) makes it clear that the tariff threat a) got the Mexicans to deploy more troops in its south faster and b) got them to accelerate Remain in Mexico. Both measures worked (not clear at time they would), but tariffs not for show. https://t.co/iK6wulfZBF

Right. And the 2019 tariff-induced deal played a key role in blocking the fake-asylum surge of the Trump years. Then Biden opened the floodgates.** So here we are again. What’s the problem?
** He only closed them with a pre-election MX deal. His threat was Trump might win. https://t.co/kDBYzqt2it

Since the fires, I’ve started to get cold calls offering to build me ADUs (i.e. granny houses) in my back yard. I suppose that is a good sign, even if the callers are sketchy.

Hadn’t read @NellieBowles’ TGIF in a bit. Still good! “Please, I beg you, move on from January 6. It’s been done! Democrats see themselves as the January 6 Remembrance Party. And I’m telling you, that’s cool, but it can’t be the whole thing. You have to have one other thing!”
