Why there were legitimate reasons for Joe Biden to push for the ouster of a prosecutor who was enabling corruption in Ukraine, even if it might benefit his son's business interests. roughlyexplained.com/2019/09/trump-…
In the wake of Dorian, re-upping this post I wrote two years ago for @roughlyexplain Is Climate Change Making Hurricanes More Intense? roughlyexplained.com/2017/09/climat… via @roughlyexplain
Huff Post's @paigelav and I discussed the politics of Epstein conspiracy theories, the gun debate after El Paso, and the state of the Democratic primary field on BBC Radio 5 last night. Listen here if you're so inclined. soundcloud.com/roughlyexplain…
Quando eu era um porta-voz do governo, @ggreenwald as vezes me deixava irritado. Mas Bolsonaro ameaçando de manda-lo para a prisao e totalmente inaceitável. A democracia depende de uma imprensa livre pra garantir que os poderosos ajam de maneira responsável.
Despite a tax cut that strongly incentivized business investment, recent economic data suggests companies are not spending significantly more on new equipment. Fear of tariffs may have something to do with it. roughlyexplained.com/2019/07/uninte…
"Democrats looked to Robert Mueller as a savior; for Republicans a villain, or at least a tool of villains. Neither left satisfied," writes @tgriffinnc roughlyexplained.com/2019/07/what-t…
Glorious soy harvest produce glorious soy! Great patriotic tariffs mean can't sell on "market"? Comrade Trump say no! US taxpayer will write check. Big check! Make most excellent capitalism.
Farmers are starting to do great again, after 15 years of a downward spiral. The 16 Billion Dollar China “replacement” money didn’t exactly hurt!
On this week's #AxisofReason, we discuss why the debt ceiling is useless with journalist @CarmichaelKevin, who has just written an article on the subject for @NBCNewsTHINK soundcloud.com/user-442381634…
Did a lot of interviews about #Aftermath this week. This one with my friend @tgriffinnc was especially fun. On his podcast @roughlyexplain. Purchase #Aftermath here: amzn.to/2vFkhB3. Thanks! Interview: roughlyexplained.com/2019/07/how-wa…
In case you missed it, @tylercralle and I talk with veteran Democratic strategist @adrienneelrod about the state of the Democratic primary field on the latest #AxisOfReason podcast. soundcloud.com/user-442381634…
As tensions with Iran rise, the consequences of President Trump's governing-by-gut style are coming into sharper focus. What happens when the world can't trust American leadership? @tylercralle and I discuss on this week's #AxisOfReason podcast. soundcloud.com/user-442381634…
As President Trump wraps up his trip to Japan, @tylercralle and I discuss the latest developments in North Korea and Iran as well as Trump's latest attacks on Joe Biden. The latest #AxisOfReason podcast is here. soundcloud.com/user-442381634…
The House Financial Services Committee recently approved the Safe and Fair Enforcement Banking Act. That bill would allow banks to deal in cannabis-related business. But it will be a tougher grind in the Senate. roughlyexplained.com/2019/05/federa… via @roughlyexplain
Federal laws have the growing legal cannabis industry mired in weeds. New efforts in Congress are underway to change that. roughlyexplained.com/2019/05/federa…
Why Trump's fight against Congressional subpoenas faces an uphill battle in the courts. roughlyexplained.com/2019/05/trumps…
This is a function of how GDP is calculated, not the health of the U.S. economy. When imports fall relative to exports, it adds to GDP. Exports to China didn”t rise between Q1 2019 and Q4 2018, imports from China fell.
The unexpectedly good first quarter 3.2% GDP was greatly helped by Tariffs from China. Some people just don’t get it!
Populists on the right like @TuckerCarlson are increasingly abandoning the commitment to economic freedom that has long defined conservatism. @JonahNro’s outstanding rebuttal is a remarkable defense of free market principles and a must read. nationalreview.com/magazine/2019/…
