Again, perhaps the best single critique of the abundist deregulatory agenda is:
The last time we tried deregulation without reining in corporate power, we got mortgage cheating and big-bank profiteering and the 2008 financial crisis.
"Abundance" has no answer to this.

Quaintly bizarre seeing judicial reforms advocates claiming yes, everyone in the legal academy is completely onboard with reform and totally has been. Not only absurd but bizarrely self-defeating.
would just like to point out that an equivalent interpretation of this paper is
"centrist billionaires and corporate donors are to the right of the Democratic voter base"

the problem w/ “abundance” is that it’s either making claims so generic as to be incontestable (regulatory capture from reactionary forces is bad) or it’s making claims specific enough they quickly reveal the world’s most obvious billionaire-funded astroturfed deregulation agenda
lol, when it suits the popularists it’s ok to ignore popular things and messages that work
If forced to choose between adopting economic policies that poll well -- and those most likely to actually work -- Democrats should ignore the polls, per @simon_bazelon

Democrats should ignore wonks who offer an incorrect diagnosis of inflation in 2021-23. This take parrots standard right-wing talking points about "too much fiscal stimulus" and ignores critical role of global supply chain disruptions, hence inflation happening worldwide.

Hearing that that Senate Republicans have a vote queued up today for a national day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk - and Dems can stop it by simply objecting. Will one of them do it?
Word is that no Dems are saying they will object right now.

Janelle Stelson is running as a Dem, but she's pushing these pro-GOP messages and even though they poll well! — is hurting every other Democratic candidate.
She's micro-optimizing for herself instead of thinking about beating Trump.
ALT the ICE candidate
ALT not it, not even close

Happy to share that my article Lawbreaking as a Method of Competition will be published in @AmULRev
I argue that large-scale corporate violations of consumer protection, labor, and other laws of general application should be treated as an antitrust problem by the FTC
Zero action.
This is nothing but a strongly worded letter from one of the top two leaders of the opposition party.
Suspect we’ll eventually learn about an absolute epidemic of steroid use amongst the DOGE and Trump people.
Between RFK, Mullin, and now Coristine this weekend, these dudes seem all hopped up on performance-enhancing roids, HGH, or similar.
