You can skip this piece. Adds nothing except a @SimonWDC quote. Assumes De Santis NY-indictment response hurt him because…”Trump allies” blasted it. Well, in *that* case ..https://t.co/xWXYhS9oui

DeSantis trails Trump by 8 points (44-36) in 4-way with Haley/ Pence. Trails Trump by 1 point (47-46) head-to-head. Yes he did better in Dec. But historically if you were told a challenger was this close at this early point you’d say they were well-positioned. See McCarthy, Gene https://t.co/yIpqUMYGMV

Unconditional cash transfers (eg Biden’s no-strings “child tax credit” checks) lead to more non-workers. Obvious to almost everyone except the Washington poverty establishment. https://t.co/Hr47L8FGo4

Of course, Trump didn’t “fight these misfits.” He paid them off. https://t.co/wcaXH6JVxp

I accept need for agencies to make rules for, eg, nuclear safety or rapidly changing situations (eg wage regs). The Labor Dept ESG rule isn’t one of those situations. Congress is perfectly capable of passing it as a law. Clearly it would not pass. So why https://t.co/x75Mveqwe1… https://t.co/5xmuwM2yD0

I mean, if DeSantis were really a strong leader he’d ban the phrase “meeting the moment” https://t.co/ABpDRSu9z3

I don’t understand Musk’s view that full self-driving is what’d make Tesla really valuable, instead of “worth basically zero.” Tesla’s first in the EV race-but others will eventually catch up. Likewise it may be first in the self-driving race-but others will catch up there too. https://t.co/CyyfydKMID

I think people underestimate the rationality of insular “emphasis on existing relations”-ie industries like Hollywood or SV. You don’t get the best or most diverse hires, but you have extra levers of control to avoid screwing-up. Not good for https://t.co/mA2r1AsxPw… https://t.co/6WIylgqo0P

Heresy: Argues that the Trump/Biden tariffs on Chinese steel didn’t raise prices in the US much, in part because US producers boosted output (presumably achieving economies of scale?) https://t.co/U4Avank8ou

Yeah, these seem like legit cultural roots he should be allowed to mention, even if they are convenient and not wildly illuminating. At least he’s using his own roots and not, you know, Neil Kinnock’s. https://t.co/ihHPvs1Fwr

The “Supplemental Poverty Measure,” started under Obama, is the New Coke of the poverty debate. https://t.co/1mUWQ4DUli It’s sold to public as a gauge of absolute poverty (like the official poverty line). But it measures inequality, not poverty. I was hoping Trump would kill it. https://t.co/QXLTk6WFlA
