Bill Barr set up a system via which Joe Biden was framed -- an effort that affected two different presidential elections. How Barr gets to waltz in and out of CNN's studio w/o questions about that boggles my mind.

Justice Thomas says that his wife’s involvement in the coup attempt allows him to bring a special perspective to the Court.

.@chrislhayes: “The conservative justices seemed to be almost openly colluding with Donald Trump, reconceptualizing the president in real time as a sort of lawless dictator and just ignoring all constitutional, textual, historical evidence that points in the other direction.”
I suppose it is a good time to print my occasional reminder that I block people who pay Elon Musk $8 a month to amplify their tweets on this site.
I suspect this was said about student activists during the Civil Rights Movement and the fight against Apartheid. I’m glad they didn’t listen.
My wife, who is a dog-trainer, would never vote for someone who is obviously both incompetent as a dog-trainer and then avenges her incompetence by killing the dog. That pretty much defines MAGA

Such an undertold story: Republicans are corrupt AF and Dems just aren't.

Looks like the Republican Supreme Court is prepared to say that Trump ordered executions would be legal, because if they weren't a future president would be worried about being prosecuted for having their critics killed.

It is unfortunate that many of the people who could benefit from Biden income-driven repayment plan don't know about it. It is remarkable that the people who report on the issue also don't seem to know about it.
I've got a thought experiment for you, how about employers refuse to hire people affiliated with a political party whose leader says that people chanting "Jews will not replace us," are good people. What do you say?
I suppose this could be big news if the media ever found out about it
@DeanBaker13 Sorkin: controversial thought experiment, what if employers colluded to keep people I don't like out of employment, perhaps they could keep the names on some type of "list", perhaps the list could be characterized in a negative way maybe "black"?
yes, although at this point, we can't rule much out

Members of Congress have proposed a lot of constitutionally dubious bills over the years. It's hard to think of any recent bill that was as blatantly unconstitutional as this one is.
I know that it was overshadowed by Trump's lawyers arguing that presidents should be able to murder political opponents, but I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas hearing a case related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Well, at least he doesn't have a stiff gait.

Has Andrew ever suggested this for anti-black racism?
She needs help, alright. What a shameless attempt to criminalize people with bald-faced lies. Is she related to Central Park Karen? This is just disgraceful.

@schwarz @DeanBaker13 Fair enough — although asking a university to endorse the right of return seems awfully silly, why would they do that?
@C_kinney_CC @DeanBaker13 I don't give a darn who they retweeted. And I don't care how many names you call me. I will continue criticizing the Israeli government for the disgusting things they keep doing in Gaza, and now labeling American college students as terrorists. It's ridiculous.
Context: Ukraine is <1% of the budget.
It’s not “just” $61 billion. Ukraine will need massive annual cash infusions to stave off total defeat. So it’s $61 billion as the baseline for an annual appropriation in a new forever war.
@StevenTDennis See @DeanBaker13. Looks like There ARE reporters who do know context is important.
@DeanBaker13 Yes, I tighten that timeframe in the memo. At 6 months it was beyond monthly blip. But obviously, you and I are simpatico as to Pres. Biden being completely inaccurately blamed.
if prodding people to actually understand how elites talk about how govt financing actually works behind closed doors/offrecord/at parties is shitposting i welcome shitposting i also report on the market implications of those dynamics in the paper so subscribe Godzilla 🤝
Is it your job to report on economics or shitpost on Twitter?
Ilhan Omar's daughter is a student at Columbia and, apparently, was just suspended for her protests there. Can you imagine the right's reaction if Harvard had suspended Elise Stefanik's daughter the day after the Claudine Gay hearing?
WATCH: Rep. Omar questions the president of Columbia University about protests on campus and the broader hostile environment faced by students.
Oy! And kudos to NPR Public Editor @kellymcb for pushing back: "There's more coverage of Gaza because there's more suffering in Gaza, because the story is changing daily in Gaza, because the humanitarian crisis is in Gaza..." npr.org/sections/publi…
With new marginal rent data from the BLS we can see how much pent up deflation there is in CPI rents. For some reason people focus on growth rate graphs, which doesn't show this. Here is levels. There is a 4pp gap between the market rents and average rents.
Fascinating study: Even as Israel has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians, the NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post have used the word “brutal” to describe Palestinians 77% of the time that word has been used, compared to just 23% of the time for Israel.
New study from @FAIRmediawatch by me: Since Oct 7, the @nytimes, @washingtonpost and @WSJ have overwhelmingly applied the term "brutal" to violence committed by Palestinians rather than by Israelis. fair.org/home/brutal-is…
The outcome of this NPR quasi-scandal is sickeningly certain: both-sides coverage that is even more tepid, wishy-washy, & inadequate than before. That's how the right-wing working-the-refs process works -- it's a one-way ratchet.
@DeanBaker13 And that we’re beating almost all of peer nations on inflation AND crushing them on economic growth? Or that inflation and unemployment are both half of what Reagan had when he won a landslide on the economy?
@PeterBeinart @UssamaMakdisi @sareemakdisi @JewishCurrents thank you! enormous respect and admiration for your work.
Facts are about real people only if they experienced by a dude, or dude's friends. If they come from systematically asking 40,000 households every month, then those facts are not about real people. Apparently.
@Playerinthgame @DeanBaker13 @OpinionatedLab Dean said many times he agrees people at the bottom aren't paid enough. You're not actually disagreeing with him. So can we end this whole discussion? Workers at bottom have seen wages outpace inflation, this is progress, but their still paid too poorly. Case closed.
This is unsettling. I asked historian Daniel Ziblatt if previous examples of conservative and financial elites allying with authoritarian and/or fascist movements should help us understand today's corporate elite accommodation with Trump. His answer: newrepublic.com/article/180564…
For crying out loud, I can't believe we're still doing this. Here is Month-over-Month annualized inflation for Core CPI less Shelter. One of these is 21 months ending in March. The other 3 are random periods between 1995 and 2005. I didn't even look to see exactly when.
