Disorienting that this is the one issue where *Americans* have developed a delicate social etiquette ritual with cultural nuance & social trust, & then it's *Europeans* who come in as the loud fat people laughing at low-income workers & stomping all over norms & good behavior

America's strongest Asian ally—a country whose constitution we wrote, whose military we control, and whose islands we have occupied with 55,000 troops & huge naval bases for 80 years—is a national security threat because they want to invest too much in saving our steel mills

Here's the Nippon Steel order: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/… Gotta love the mysterious, unstated "credible evidence"... that nobody actually believes. Looking forward to the lawsuits.

Down with travel sports. No more hotel rooms, no more leaving the metro area. Sports used to be about community-building. Sports used to be about knowing your neighbor. Down with travel sports.

NYT is softening every edge in the framing but this article is a bombshell Conclusive evidence that environmental scientists have been willing to use the ESA to knowingly invent "conservation species" and then (after passage in 1970) using the newly created NEPA to litigate

I almost feel bad for the "Balanced Literacy" lady who waged the academic war on phonics for 40 years Not just that Columbia closed your center in total disgrace...but having to live with the knowledge that your life's work ruined millions of childrens' lives 😬

Congestion pricing coverage is peak economics Every person is like, "I didn't used to bear the external costs of my behavior. But now that I do, I am adjusting along an infinite variety of least-cost adaptive margins that no central planner could have foreseen or designed"

I have great sympathy for the victims of Helene who live inland & could not be expected to prep for hurricanes. I hope Congress acts quickly! But I also feel bad for taxpayers in, like, Detroit who will be expected to pay to rebuild this insanely dangerous hurricane playground

The overreaction by the elites to the tariffs tells me they are completely out of touch with the avg American who have watched their economic lives be destroyed for the last 40 years.

We've built entire metro areas where losing your car means you lose access to: -Your job -All groceries & retail -The doctor -All friends & family beyond your cul-de-sac This makes enforcing traffic law & insurance for the deadly high-speed metal boxes a high-stakes issue
