UPDATE: There seem to be 3 arguments that Wokeism & ESG helped cause bank failures. 1) Competence–Execs were promoted for equity, not skill 2) Distraction–all that virtue took valuable energy 3) Bad ESG-style lending–why did SVB have to sell those underwater bonds anyway? https://t.co/Lr9uS4Rl0d

Didn’t Dan Kelly run for WI Supreme Court and lose by almost the same margin in 2020, before the Dobbs abortion ruling? I think he did. So maybe it’s not *all* about post-Dobbs abortion politics. (Might be about pre-Dobbs abortion politics.) https://t.co/PicjocExIx

The deeper problem with Hasen’s election-law-violation claim, of course, is the idea that it was an election expense at all–in theory because the payments were made to help Trump’s campaign “not to help Trump with his personal life,” when obviously it was a mix of both, as is… https://t.co/ef6hr3qufA

On #3, abortion, Halperin says GOP needs “a clear, passionate, broad voter-inspiring position on the issue.” Well, that’s not going to happen. Any broad less damaging position will be a grudging pragmatic compromise, not “passionate.”
