Liberation Day for Real? Not Really

“[The International Emergency Economic Powers Act] does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.” That’s the single really important sentence from the US Supreme Court’s February 20 ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump. Trump’s ongoing tariff tantrums, starting with his “Liberation Day” schedule of “reciprocal” tariffs, were illegal under the law in question, and under … Continue reading Liberation Day for Real?

In Mamdani’s New York City, It’s “Democratic Socialists” vs. Workers

Last November, New York City voters chose — from a uniformly awful candidate menu — “democratic socialist” Zohran Mamdani for mayor. They’re already starting to experience, and may even learn from, the consequences of that choice. “Democracy,” HL Mencken wrote, “is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get … Continue reading In Mamdani’s New York City, It’s “Democratic Socialists” vs. Workers → - by Thomas L.

Russell Vought Says “We are in a post constitutional moment in our country.” He’s Not Wrong.

“There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections,” US president Donald Trump declared in a February 13 Truth Social rant,  “whether approved by Congress or not!” While I oppose government ID mandates for any purpose — as did “conservatives,” at least as late as the 1990s,  when it came to national requirements of the … Continue reading Russell Vought Says “We are in a post constitutional moment in our country.” He’s Not Wrong. → - by Thomas L.

Semaglutide: Artificial Shortage Is Novo Nordisk’s Business Model

In early February, drug company Novo Nordisk sued telehealth company Hims & Hers. The complaint: Hims & Hers sells GLP-1 drugs at lower prices than Novo Nordisk. That’s the simple version. The legalese version is that because semaglutide (the drug behind the Novo Nordisk’s “Wegovy” brand name) was removed from the US Food and Drug … Continue reading Semaglutide: Artificial Shortage Is Novo Nordisk’s Business Model → - by Thomas L.

Bon Voyage, David Brooks (and Let Laissez-Faire Come Back!)

When David Brooks claims that his preferred “moderate conservative political philosophy” is in 2026 “so fantastically successful … that moderate Republicans are now the dominant force in American politics,” his intentional sarcasm is clear before the fourth paragraph of his final New York Times column (“Time to Say Goodbye,” February 1): “I’m kidding.” Even if a … Continue reading Bon Voyage, David Brooks (and Let Laissez-Faire Come Back!) → - by Thomas L.
