“You’re a broke loser!” is an odd charge, especially from the anti-meritocratic left. And, as de Boer notes, if you counter by explaining why you’re in fact doing allright, you sound like a douche and get it from the other side. Walking a tightrope, I tell you.

Seems wrong. US system often conspires to prevent action on positions that are very popular. Popularists could advocate them. Welfare reform was highly popular, but it took 50 years. Ditto actual immigration regulation, which hasn’t happened yet. May not be positions Heer likes. https://t.co/zs0itU8QYl

Biden’s initial decision to let Title 42 lapse is having a big effect, even if it was blocked by a judge. It prompted a wave of migrants to journey to the border and they’re apparently going to try to cross even if Title 42 is formally still in place. https://t.co/BBEGKvfehD

Don’t understand this story. Tucker Carlson’s son seems to be 24 and works in politics. Why’s he out of bounds? He can defend himself (if there were any charge in this piece that needed defending against, which I don’t see). https://t.co/FKBW7fsVFf

PS MLB players can join fantasy leagues in which — if we go by this story — they seem to have a non-trivial emotional investment? It’s not hard to imagine situations in which this might affect their real-life play, no? https://t.co/uZdhxO5ur5
