What politicians do is downstream of culture. The state of our culture is such that legislators of both parties have almost universally concluded it is politically inexpedient to oppose a mad king.
Congress could stop this madness tomorrow. It could take back control of trade policy and cancel the tariffs. It could bring impeachment proceedings on the impeccable grounds that the president has plainly lost his mind. No one who is compos mentis writes as he just did to the

Imposing tarrifs -- which raises the price of goods for Americans -- to pressure foreign governments to support the US acquiring Greenland -- something 93% of the American people don't want -- is... something.

Proposal to end the shutdown: 1. Phase out the Obamacare extra subsidies. Reduce by 33% now, then 66%, then gone. 2. In the meantime, enact policies to reduce the real cost of care, not subsidize it: 3. Eliminate mandatory coverages, can buy polices across state lines 4. Mandate

Stop worrying about politcians personalities and start worrying about their ideas.
There's no denying that Mamdani's accessible personality and a willingness to get out and actually listen to people played a big part in his success - but that also goes to show that personal charisma can be used to promote bad ideas as well as good ones.

This is incredibly damming of the education establishment That the system they are part of does a bad job educating children should be the #1 reason. That the system does a bad job educating children is the primary cause of the problematic student behavior.
New UNION survey What is the number #1 reason that teachers consider leaving the profession? Behavior. It always has been behavior. It always will be behavior.

I don't know where numbers like $100M come from. Assuming 1/3 acre lots and the going rate of Midtown real estate, it would be like $22M.

Alt: company that enables a third of the Internet and has created trillions of dollars of value experiences regrettable outage.
