We discussed all this on our podcast as well, and @pkrugman.bsky.social is just brilliant all throughout: "Trump is going to lose this trade war...Mark Carney has a 60% approval rating and 30% disapproval. It’s Trump upside down." Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2146...

What could U.S. healthcare reform look like? The final primer in @pkrugman.bsky.social's Curing Healthcare series gives an international perspective on U.S. healthcare, discusses the changing political economy of U.S. healthcare reform, and proposes a path forward.

Part 1. Paul Krugman on "Curing U.S. Healthcare". "What works? Healthcare policy is an area in which advocates of reform don’t need to speculate about the feasibility of their plans, because all major routes to universal coverage have already been tried in multiple countries." 👇👇👇 Stay tuned ...

So, I almost never use dictation software. But I was in a mood today and tried for bit. “Strait of Hormuz” came out “street of hormones,” which kind of makes sense …

excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.

We've been tracking nearly 200 lawsuits against the Trump administration over its attempts to leverage federal funding to impose the president's agenda. The most startling pattern: The administration seems entirely undeterred when it loses in court. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
