“Today, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in one of those rare cases that could reshape all three branches of government. The justices deciding Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, a challenge to the current tariff regime, could determine whether the imperial presidency is entrenched or arrested. They could either cajole Congress out of its dormancy or render it even more inert. And they could buttress the legitimacy of the Court’s conservative majority — which in the past decade has aggressively intervened to limit the administrative state’s domestic operations — or undermine it by applying different standards to presidents of different parties.” (11/05/25)

“Nearly exactly a year later, two narratives have taken hold about the electoral wipeout Democrats experienced in 2024. The first is the Democratic Party, weighed down by an unpopular and enfeebled presumptive nominee who had overseen unpopular foreign wars and economic carnage at home, failed to articulate a vision other than ‘we’re not Trump.’ The second is that Democrats, after routing Donald Trump in 2020, moved too far to the left, losing the coveted ‘moderate’ vote and the entire election. Progressives have stuck mostly to the first narrative. As political director at RootsAction, I was among the first group of detractors encouraging Joe Biden not to seek a second term as president.” (11/05/25)

“The European Green Deal, launched in 2019, is an ecological pact that has been, unequivocally, an enemy of European taxpayers and innovation. Its declared goal is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 through a dense web of regulations that reach deep into every sector of the European economy. More than any other sector, the automotive industry is being put at risk of an irreversible crash. Pressuring companies and citizens alike, the pact promotes the renunciation of capitalism, an inevitable sacrifice in the name of green policies. Such binding commitments will have severe economic consequences for a European Union increasingly weakened by its own laws and regulations.” (11/05/25)

“It is my duty as a political writer to fire off a take in the wake of an election, so here goes: Were it not for his positions on Israel and Palestine, I don’t think Zohran Mamdani would be mayor. There was a world, and it existed a few years ago, where the opposite would’ve been the case. I know the conventional wisdom is that American voters care about foreign relations, and it’s especially not supposed to matter in local elections, but Mamdani was the only candidate who represented a clear ‘No’ to the genocide in Gaza. … Although I’m much closer to Mamdani than Cuomo on Palestine, I remain a little nervous about the introduction of a foreign ethnic conflict into our city.” (11/05/25)
