the runup in the market isnt because those companies are worth more, it's because the dollar is worth less

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

The best time to not discuss things on social media and chat systems you wouldn't like brought up in a poorly-lit room with a dangerous entity was about 10 years ago. The second best time is now.

As a baby lawyer in the Reagan White House, John Roberts was writing memos arguing that violations of the Voting Rights Act should not be "too easy to prove." This is not just any legal issue that happens to come before him. This is his life's work. He just wants to finish what he started.

Inside John Roberts’ Decades-Long Crusade Against the Voting Rights Act

Roberts remains at the center of an impassioned debate about voting rights in America.

And right now I’m seeing very little deep thought about this stuff. We’re putting more tech and legislative and policy energy into stablecoins and TikTok than we are into how the entire Internet will work over the next 50 years. That should change!

The “age verification” and the “human identification” problem are the same problem. It upsets me to be around people who think they’re working on the first, but don’t understand they’re actually working on the second.

Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive, I think to myself, as I walk to class wearing a plaid blue suit and a dandelion bolo tie whistling "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" from Hello Dolly.

Two defining political economy challenges of our lifetime are climate and decoupling of macroeconomy from micro quality of life.

These are our political responses.

has the systemic risk aspect of leveraged ETFs (which i see advertised prominently) been looked at by regulators or #finsky academics?

BREAKING: This politician was literally trading leveraged positions on companies they legislate on.

Representative Rob Bresnahan bought over $1750,00 in option positions in $SPY, $IWM, $QQQ all calls, on September 15th, expiring on the 19th.

They are literally day trading.

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

People writing about politics during Bush II noticed the EXPLICIT influence of Strauss and Schmitt - fascists - on the politics of the GOP and the president. Shops like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation and Focus On The Family were in full swing. Were people asleep or something
