Grateful to the @WSJopinion for publishing my letter. Tax hike schemes in the Beltway and along the coasts are understandably capturing a lot of attention, but Colorado could be ground zero for one of the biggest tax and spending overhauls in the country this year. #copolitics

It's a big problem that tons of climate journalism/ discourse has consistently used the worst case outlier model and presented it as a prediction of what was most likely to happen. But as it stands, even the worst-case scenario is being radically adjusted down. Hopefully climate journalists/ advocates don't just adopt the next worst-case model and instead discuss the most likely scenarios modelers have painted. There's lots of work on this: it doesn't help motivate action to do doomsaying. It feed fatalism on the one hand, and mistrust of models/ climate science on the other (when we remain far from our goals but nothing like the "predicted" outcomes manifests).

Vox with a BOMBSHELL admission in the wake of the demise of RCP8.5. “Those numbers shaped a decade and a half of climate journalism, including a lot of my own when I covered climate change at Time magazine. I didn’t always know — and didn’t always communicate — that the scenario behind the most apocalyptic, attention-getting findings was largely an attempt to imagine how bad things could get, not a true forecast. But I wasn’t alone. RCP 8.5 was a frequent background presence in climate journalism.” vox.com/future-perfect…

California high-speed rail cost now up to $231 billion. That means the average worker in the state will pay out over $12,000 to fund a single project that almost no one will ride. CA rail will be studied for generations, a truly once-in-a-lifetime level of government failure.

This is not true. We looked at this a few years back and found that looking at taxes at all levels of government, and accounting for transfers, our system is highly progressive. The overall effective tax burden for the bottom quintile was 10%, compared to 41% for the top quintile

If you only count the progressive taxes the U.S. levies, then the U.S. system is quite progressive. But if you also count regressive taxes (payroll taxes, sales taxes, etc), it's not very progressive.

The first of the three believes the state Capitol is awash in pedophiles. The second says he helped kill a man when he was just 7 years old. The third has been a political insider for much of her adult life. cpr.org/2026/05/20/col… via @CPRMarkus #copolitics #cogov

Text from a GOP senator just now: “Our majority is melting down before our eyes.” Many R’s believe Trump has brought this upon himself — creating more “free agents” out of a selfish desire to purge R’s not seen as loyal enough.
Andrew Desiderio@AndrewDesiderio

News — Nearly 2-hour meeting with Acting AG Todd Blanche and Senate Republicans was incredibly hostile, per multiple attendees. As many as 25 GOP senators spoke (this is very rare for these meetings), all in opposition to weaponization fund. R’s pitched specific ideas such as dictating how the 5 commissioners are chosen & not allowing people convicted of violence against cops to be eligible for a payout.

Mr. Yuval Levin, Senior Fellow @AEI, reflects on the role of Congress: "If we're going to have a politics in which deliberation plays a central role, we have to have a politics in which Congress plays a central role. That part can only be played by a plural institution that is both representative and deliberative, and that is what Congress is designed to be." … "We are living in a political moment where the deepest differences do not get worked out, and we've persuaded ourselves that this is because we're polarized, or it's because we're divided, or it's social media. We're not more polarized than the America of the late eighteenth century. We're not more divided than the America of the mid-nineteenth century. These technologies have not changed human nature or the character of politics. The core institution of our system now does not want the role it is assigned, and that is what has to change."

"Dad books" — which this article, and some publishing insiders, use to describe "serious nonfiction" books across biography, current affairs and business and economics — are reportedly in a free fall, with sales declining every year for the last few years “The trend couldn’t be clearer,” said Jonathan Karp, the former chief executive of Simon & Schuster and publisher of the new Simon Six imprint. “When we have internal meetings to talk about this problem, it always comes around to podcasts,” said Jonathan Burnham, president and publisher of the Harper Group at HarperCollins Publishers.
