Final seat projections after the first round in France. Lot of uncertainty still, but this would be a very good result for the far right (RN).

The main challenge to the US admin state, built up over the first half of the 20th C. Came from its juridicalization following the New Deal. Todays overruling of Chevron is its disastrous denouement. No admin state can function if it has to constantly seek the approval of judges.

“Henry Kissinger, who was born in Weimar Germany in 1923, is dead. He made it to 100, and in the last years of his life, politicians, writers, and celebrities feted him as if he were the American Century incarnate. In a way, he was.” t.co/n4z8wuumsS
