Talking Default with NPR and Bloomberg TV

The debt limit is destructive, duplicative, and dumb. That was the title of a post I wrote a few days after the US hit this self-imposed anachronism back in January. Since then, I’ve done countless interviews about the state of play in the fight to raise the “debt” ceiling in time to avoid an unprecedented and catastrophic default.

Gen Z for Biden on Twitter

“BREAKING: Joe Biden increased his lead to +6 over Donald Trump according to a new @Ipsos/@Reuters poll. This represents a 3 point increase for the president since February. Just like record youth turnout, we’re sure the media won’t report this. Spread the news to help Joe Biden.”

@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach

i seriously don't understand why he wants to run

@plutus @johnserwach He thinks he's the only guy who can win.

He could be right? I dunno.

@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach

Well he was the only guy the donors wanted in 2020.
I think it's about legacy - the mystique of the 2 term POTUS

@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach

Sorry to burst your Chinese balloons but 6 pts is nothing to frolic in the oval about against a indicted couper imho

@ForeignSubstance @plutus it’s not 6, the red wave is a mirage. (Again)

@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

This is who we need Billy bob 2.0 - he connects with the soccer moms in ways we can never understand, but...

@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

He can run in the primary. He wont win because of his stance on abortion. Abortion is the only thing that matters

Hu Xijin 胡锡进 on Twitter

“.@elonmusk is more clear-headed than many American politicians. This is normal. Businessmen tend to be more realistic, politicians are more idealistic, and a large part of them pretend to be idealistic. ”

@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

They are mostly cut from the same cloth - very focus on the immediate petty materialism

@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

Bob Gates is one of the wisest politico in many decades. Our country is at an impasse is b/c of one singular reason and that alone.

@plutus @rubecube12 @johnserwach "Demonization"

It should immediately discredit the accuser.
