It’s been a lousy week, but enough bedwetting. Democrats, Matthew Desmond writes, are “fluent in the language of grievance and bumbling in the language of repair.” Here, from April, is my repair blueprint. Democrats, you have four months. Use them wisely.

Since you were planning to blow your brains out anyway, here’s another reason: the Supreme Court just castrated the regulatory state. I’m kidding about the blowing your brains out part. Read my Liberties Journal essay instead.

My latest: Corporations may look powerful, but in reality they’ve been reduced to playing ATM to hedge funds, mutual funds, and pension funds. Doing everything they hate—unionizing them, raising corporate taxes, banning stock buybacks—might coax them back to life.

Eighteen years ago I explained (in Slate) how summer camp reveals the essence of individual human character. Right now it’s really hot outside, so I figure it’s about time to re-post. Read it and weep.

Mitt Romney gripes that the bottom 47 percent don’t pay taxes and loses an election. Trump just proposed hitting this group (now 40 percent) with a 70 percent across the board tariff, returning America to the 19th century, and … crickets. My latest:

While we await a Supreme Court ruling on Chevron deference read my Liberties Journal essay tracing the history of regulation (older than you think), the late-1940s popularization of the phrase “administrative state” to wage quixotic war against empiricism, etc.

If the problem with our economy is inflation, why are corporate leaders sucking up to the more inflationist candidate? Not to mention an insurrectionist and convicted felon who has also (yawn) been found by a jury to be guilty of sexual abuse. My latest.

Targets don’t come much fatter than Martin Gruenberg, chairman of Biden’s FDIC, lately revealed to be a sexual harasser’s paradise. But at a hearing, House Republicans were comically unequal to taking him down, leaving the task to Democrats. My latest.

Donald Trump has no clue what he will do if elected president beyond rounding up immigrants, pardoning January 6 hooligans, punishing political enemies, and slapping tariffs on foreign goods. He has no program and there won’t likely be a GOP platform. My latest:

The GOP is the party that denies water to agricultural and construction workers when the temperature rises above 95 degrees Fahrenheit and also would deny a 20-minute lunch break to teenage workers. Let’s don’t keep this a secret from voters.
