If it were me I'd just enter the next debt ceiling fight with a "I minted a $100tn coin. If Congress wants to default the country, it may vote to do so. And I remain constrained by their appropriations. This is not new money I can spend. But the country will not default by accident on my watch"

Folks really hate the "mint the coin" stuff because it feels like (and involves) a gimmick, but the basic observation underpinning it is actually very smart and quite profound: at the fiscal level, seigniorage and debt are identical.

I think it would be hilarious if he had the 6 conservative SCOTUS justices’ catalytic converters stolen, refined, and minted into a coin that erased a significant fraction of the national debt.

This is the part that really caught me off guard in the opinion. Folks rightly focus on, well, the top-line. But this is just a complete misunderstanding of executive privilege or where it comes from, and is patently, grossly invented for one man and for one case

The analogy to the executive privilege cases is really weird?? Like, they're obviously separate matters...

Guys they don’t read the comments they just filter it via ai and if the number of occurrences of “fuck yourself” is over the metric established by the assistant vice president for social media they leave its all very rational We have more condensed vitriol but its a numbers game

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

Marco Rubio was asked on CNN if he was comfortable with SCOTUS's immunity ruling when he—in opposing conviction in Trump’s impeachment trial in 2021—said “history and if necessary the courts” should judge Trump's actions on Jan. 6. He dodged the question, accusing Dems of weaponizing prosecutions.

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

The New York times literally running the 14 words in a piece on the print edition main page. “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is a mainstreamed version of the 14 words. TNYT is back to its Nazi defense

bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.

There’s a real revolutionary mindset in some of these pundit and Dem circles right now, where “remove Biden” has become an end unto itself, unquestionably correct, and anyone who tries to hold back the tide of history is an obstacle, and this is where revolutions get into trouble frankly

Seeing some people being like “If Biden chooses to resist our efforts to oust him, he’ll tear down the party and he’ll be to blame for the consequences” and no, I’m pretty sure that you would also be to blame for the consequences
