Hello my friends. This week on the Nightly Nuance, I want us to explore the Biden vision for the American economy in three segments:  Today: The macroeconomics of the American Rescue Plan  Tuesday: How electricity works in the United States  Wednesday: Biden's vision around electric vehicles  So much of what the new administration hopes to accomplish centers on energy and infrastructure, so I hope this week we can think critically about where we sit today and where we'd like to be down t...

Hello my friends. Kelly, creator of the Pantsuit Politics Community Library, has requested a Nightly Nuance on earmarks. So here we are!  Earmarks were banished by the Tea Party wave with the agreement of President Obama and Senate Democrats in the 112th Congress, but our new Democratic appropriations chairs say that earmarks are back! (House Republican conference rules prohibit members from seeking earmarks...we'll see.)  You've probably heard earmarks discussed derisively as "pork," or h...

Hello, my friends. Today, I'm attempting to answer a question from Christine about censures. I think "censure" must have been on a word-of-the-day calendar in the late fall because it is a true fad among state and local parties right now, especially on the Republican side of the aisle.  On one hand, censures can be understood as simply a public wrist slapping, intended to provoke shame and discomfort with no real consequences attached to them. On the other, I think they call into serious qu...

Hello, my friends. I know the Senate trial is very much on everyone's minds. Sarah and I are processing that together and will share our conversation with you on tomorrow's podcast. Today, I find myself thinking so much about how we got here, and I want to spend some time on what Dr. Shoshana Zuboff calls "surveillance capitalism."  Dr. Zuboff appears in The Social Dilemma, and her thinking about January 6 came to me via The Markup, an excellent newsletter on social media and politics from ...

Hello, my friends. We're going back to the Supreme Court today for South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom.

Hello my friends. I know it's Tuesday, February 9th but I definitely said February 8th.  I also know many of you are watching the Senate trial of former President Trump. Sarah and I will process that on Thursday and Friday. For today, let's turn our attention to President Biden's efforts to deal with the previous administration's separation of families at the southern border.  We know that at least 5,500 children were separated from their parents between July 2017 and July 2018.

Hello, my friends. Let's spend a little time talking about the United States Senate.  Last week, we talked about the House impeachment manager's brief. We now have the former President's response. In it, Trump argues that the Senate lacks jurisdiction to hear this matter because he is no longer President and that, factually, he had nothing to do with the mob that attacked the Capitol. The jurisdictional argument is not bananas, but it does run counter to the weight of legal authority and hi...

Hello, my friends. Today, I want to make the case for caring more about foreign policy. I know it's very hard to do that when American politics feel like such a dumpster fire. I also strongly believe that we can better understand where we are and how to achieve a more perfect union when we better see ourselves as part of the world.  I want to make that case today by talking about the Chinese Communist Party.
