.@newrepublic actually promoting itself, without irony, as “The in-flight magazine of Air Force One.” That was a pretty embarrassing line when it was said, decades ago. Then it was mocked in “Shattered Glass.” Now, recycled because … desperate times call for desperate measures.

Isn’t it time for a big deal national commission on the effects of AI and robotics? Encourage bigthinkers to testify; televise it a la 1/6 hearings; make them stars. Make Bing’s Sydney a star. These are monumental issues average voters are talking about–eg will everyone lose… https://t.co/bjgv1MBBeq

Every executive branch agency must have an Agency Equity Team (coordinating with the agency’s environmental justice officer). Layers and layers of new bureaucracy. Lots of jobs for DEI bureaucrats. Wouldn’t it be better to have one existing civ rights agency push policies… https://t.co/z2KhbJrXNm

TAKE! Fetterman’s difficulties aren’t about Fetterman. (Wish him well.) They’re about Biden–eg difficulties that can arise when voters ignore looming potential medical problems. Imagine a Fetterman-like situation in the Presidency.

So maybe the big vote-by-mail scandal to come will be a GOP scandal and not a Dem scandal. Still bad! Vote by mail is an invitation to corruption, and the people at the ground level in campaigns are often crazy anything-to-win partisans https://t.co/FcOLQBjfoz

Now that Biden’s coopted the Trump trade agenda, what’s the single most important thing GOP could do to aid working class (aside from avoiding recession)? One answer: Keep the labor market tight. Which means blocking Biden’s attempt to loosen it (by sluicing in migrant millions) https://t.co/0ogEGI1j8p
