“That democracy must defend and be defined and be imposed, moved in every way possible. Our rights, our freedoms, our dreams.” That’s from Biden’s farewell speech. I admit it seems like gibberish to me. Is there some Meachamesque truth I’m missing? @JamesFallows?

“Roughly 700 miles of the 2,000-mile border had some sort of wall when Trump took office, and when he left, he had installed 400 miles of barrier, including large portions that replaced short and shoddy rusting barriers.”
Weak. Hope he does better this time.… https://t.co/VAw8nQgkN7— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

Without Mayorkas, there would still be a “vibes” shift of sorts. But Kamala Harris* would be president.

You don’t hear much about SBF. You’d think if he were mounting a campaign to get a commutation it would be in the press. Except that if he were mounting an effective, sophisticated and expensive campaign to get a commutation you’d never hear about it until it happened. https://t.co/eZld0MmqVk

Klein just drops @tylercowen’s factor of “a pervasive sense of disorder at the border.” Why do I think the vibes discourse is another way for Dems (eg @EJDionne) to avoid facing their unpopular and misguided views on mass immigration? https://t.co/6aWLNnqyyY

Alternatively: Trump may have gained a “vibes” victory due to the factors Klein cites, but he won a votes victory due to Mayorkas. Vibes=superstructure. Policies=substructure. https://t.co/Pav5B8B7o0

It would be really beneficial to future governance in CA if Newsom and Bass were swiftly and impolitely removed from office.

It turns out Jeffries had met with Biden the day before, presumably with the same message from Dem pols (“laid out similarly grave concerns”). But Schumer leaked to the NYT, so he gets billed as the hero; https://t.co/kIAMC5oOhP

He sounds shaky, but there’s nothing ignorant about his answer. Medicaid’s a joint federal-state program. Seems like he wants to devolve it more to the states (something we did with welfare in 1996) in a way that would let them raise or lower benefits.
