“Three years after Dobbs leak, abortion no longer dominates politics .” Is it because a) Dems have so many other great issues (tariffs/DOGE/deportation) or b) democracy’s done its work, turning abortion into normal issue with voters reaching equilibrium? https://t.co/mcskZtuLrt

Not to get too monocausal, but you could basically explain much, if not all, of the political trajectory of the last 25 years, in the US and EU with this one article (‘Why don’t voters like all this free movement of people into their countries? It raises GDP!’) https://t.co/sLlAHONE9a

Big study says the secret to happiness is being connected to others, though we are reluctant to connect, “particularly with strangers.” And mass immigration (or non-immigrant based cultural “diversity”) makes us … more connected to others? Less connected? I call Prof. Putnam

I thought the problem is Trump’s trying to do too much too fast. No! The problem is he doesn’t have morning events! Doesn’t meet with the Black and Hispanic Caucuses or the Building Trades Union, like Biden did! This is Washington: We judge by input, not by output. https://t.co/KQJ1yXiEbS

Cartels & coyotes may try to convince would-be migrants that ‘now’s the time’ to pay the fee to get into the U.S., but the would-be migrants now have near-perfect WAZE-style info on what the odds are.
