My comment (alongside those of Nadia Urbinati and Cristina Lafont, and Sandra Seubert), on Kalypso Nicolaidis’ characteristically bold and original argument for a permanent European Citizens’ Assembly (ECA) of randomly selected citizens.

I hope Labour get the message that they need to win the next election by tackling some of the manifold problems of a broken Britain- and paying for that means taxation, immigration, alignment with the EU, and public spending- namely all of the things they say they won’t do …

The answer to your question is that the SC ruling will be overturned when - and to the extent that - the political mood and system allows. Unfortunately Republicans have been more willing to exploit these possibilities than Democrats. (Mark Tushnet on constitutional hardball)

Ron DeSantis signed a law that prevents municipalities in Florida from requiring that employers provide shade and water breaks for outdoor workers. A study found that heat-related deaths in FL shot up by 88% between 2019 and 2022. Folks, this is the GOP's vision for America.

This video from Gary Stevenson @garyseconomics is very good — on the huge transfer of wealth from the public sector to the private sector, & why this makes government services more expensive, & drives up taxes for working people.
Who benefits? The rich.

President Biden’s 2025 budget proposal includes about $3 trillion in deficit reduction over a decade, largely from raising taxes on the rich and corporations. It stands almost no chance of becoming law this year, given that Republicans control the House.

A disconcerting 34 years later I’ve been revived - I guess Victorian values are back in fashion …. I think the cover from 1990 was classier. Thanks again to the contributors, some alas may no longer be revivable - three at least proved impossible to contact. None on here I think.

I think there's huge variation as to how people react to either jab - this time round (its been different in the past for each) neither had any noticeable impact on me (though I've heard tell that no reaction is not a good thing ...)
