WHO'S PITCHING? Weird because in @RichLowry's piece it says Cotton and his team "decided to pitch an op-ed to the New York Times." https://t.co/LvMhSbijEv https://t.co/MhX64DZsKO

If you were the Deep State and could push a button to send out the signal to ex-officials and presidents to "Turn on Trump Now!," you would not push it this week. Way too early, no?

A much more complete account of the Lafayette protests than the New York Times with its "small basement fire."

Obvious problem is: If they're so upset at @NYTimes about opinions that threaten their cause that they won't publish them, what do the do with facts that threaten their cause? https://t.co/xSm2DhYwX7

If Weiss mischaracterized the internal NYT debate (I am open to the possibility) let's see the transcript of the meeting, the way we (somehow) saw a transcript of the famous Pinch/Raines "moose" meeting. Will be interesting. (Or did it all happen on Slack?) https://t.co/J8DyD4QufW

Coming soon, magisterial @anneapplebaum piece on whether @JBennet will be a careerist "collaborator" with the @NYTimes regime or a brave dissenter. (But it will really be about Ukraine.)

National Guard now deployed in 32 states. Is that provoking more unrest or calming things down? Seems like we will have an answer soon. https://t.co/MWBOamQYo2 https://t.co/i1kNBTTZI8

Don't quite understand the sharp military/police distinction here. Were our troops in Iraq killing the enemy, or policing, or being diplomats during, say, the surge. I'd say all three. https://t.co/o4zth3A1i9

Local pharmacy broken into Sat night. Smashed side door. Proprietor says every pharmacy in Bev Hills was broken into between 8PM and 11PM. Sounds well-organized. "What were they after?" "Drugs and money."

Problem #1: If Biden "embodies the politics of the past," so do Social Security & Medicare.
Problem #2: Focusing on net will highlight left's call for UBI-ie superdole. Can Biden distance from that? We seem headed for half the country on dole. Is that what swing voters want? 2/2— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) June 4, 2020

Referendum on Trump won't work, Ellis says. Better to punish Trump for his alliance with Ryan on safety net programs. "Paul Ryan Republicanism is a lot easier to beat than Donald Trump populism." Save the nets! Problems, though …>>>1/ https://t.co/DiWo6WLTnA

OK, so Trump is LBJ. Biden is … Nixon? How does Biden-as-Nixon tap into "forgotten Americans" distaste for urban unrest without his (pro-BLM) party calling him racist? Tricky! Biden's done it before (eg on busing), I guess, but only as senator https://t.co/JlgSJl6y4G
