“The Senate is set to consider the ROAD to Housing Act of 2025, or as Rand Paul calls it, ‘Path Toward the Destruction of Property Rights Act.’ The bill would limit institutional investors from buying certain single-family homes. Previously, President Trump issued an executive order to limit Wall Street from competing for homes with Main Street in the single family rental market (SFR). Institutional investors (investors with 100 or more properties) in SFRs have been unpopular for a while and have faced political opposition, particularly from the left, though now Republicans are the chief sponsors of the legislation. However, the extent of institutional investment in SFRs has been wildly exaggerated and the benefits from having them in the market are frequently ignored.” (03/10/26)

“The distortion between voting shares and seats won by the various parties highlights a crucial flaw in the universal belief that ‘representative’ democracy based on free and fair elections delivers governments that the majority of citizens voted into power. For in reality, voters propose but electoral systems dispose who gets to form government. With the same voting shares, the distribution of seats on the treasury and opposition benches would be dramatically different across the various Western democracies.” (03/10/26)

“Yes, I know that as an American citizen I’m expected to make Iran my enemy, given that after decades of brutal and deadly U.S. sanctions, the U.S. government has now launched a war of aggression on Iran. But that doesn’t make one whit of difference to me. Iran is still not my enemy, especially since the U.S. (and Israeli) war is immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional. My enemy continues to be the U.S. government, specifically the U.S. national-security state and its deadly and destructive policy of foreign interventionism, which are responsible for bringing about this deadly, destructive, immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional war.” (03/10/26)

“President George Washington’s often-read but rarely heeded Farewell Address includes a passage that has remained perennially relevant in American life. Reflecting on the domestic costs of entangling alliances, Washington warned ‘Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second [reinforce] the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests.’ … This conflation is occurring again today, as supporters of President Donald Trump’s war on Iran have taken to accusing opponents of siding with the enemy.” (03/10/26)
