You know the ideology is strong when the Federal Reserve is still figuring out what was apparent months ago, that its interest rate rises, meant to discipline workers but not price-gouging corporations,[1] imperil banks[2] and fail to address actual causes of inflation—supply chain issues exacerbated by the Ukraine War and COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Recently, my 13-year-old began to question why she must attend school and study subjects that don’t interest her. How can I tell her she must go into school each day, when two years ago she was told to stay at home for her own safety? How can I tell her that without education she may not get a “good” job when – after my own experience – I’m no longer sure what a “good job” should look like. Is it one that nets a higher income? Or that offers personal fulfilment? And with AI on the horizon, will the jobs she might be interested in even exist in five years’ time?Plus, how can she look to the future at all when we’re racing towards a climate emergency and war is raging close to home?[4]
At minimum, a “good job” conforms to Article 7 of the International Convention on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights:
The States Parties to the present Covenant recognize the right of everyone to the enjoyment of just and favourable conditions of work which ensure, in particular:
(a) Remuneration which provides all workers, as a minimum, with:
(i) Fair wages and equal remuneration for work of equal value without distinction of any kind, in particular women being guaranteed conditions of work not inferior to those enjoyed by men, with equal pay for equal work;
(ii) A decent living for themselves and their families in accordance with the provisions of the present Covenant;
(b) Safe and healthy working conditions;
(c) Equal opportunity for everyone to be promoted in his employment to an appropriate higher level, subject to no considerations other than those of seniority and competence;
(d ) Rest, leisure and reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay, as well as remuneration for public holidays[5]
And I desperately wish that privileged people would stop writing shit like this:
I learned that no job is more important than your mental health; that money, while desirable, doesn’t solve all problems. Moving to France – where property prices are lower – gave me financial breathing space, and I was able to build a freelance career. The payoff has been amazing – I now do what I enjoy, set my own hours and never experience the “Sunday night dread” that used to poison the last hours of my weekend.[6]
People who can worry about their mental health are privileged. People who can say “money, while desirable, doesn’t solve all problems”[7] are privileged. People who can move to France are privileged.

The court hasn’t even been called to order, but what do I see? Chaos.
Jon Sale, a prominent Florida defense attorney who worked on the Watergate prosecution team and turned down the opportunity to join Trump’s defense team last year, said that the pros and cons of representing Trump are obvious.
“Without engaging in hyperbole, it’s arguably the biggest case in the world,” said Sale. “But the cons are illustrated by three of his four lawyers quitting in the last few weeks. He needs a good Florida lawyer with an impeccable reputation who is very experienced in this.”
The club of former Trump lawyers has a deep bench, highlighting the challenges his legal team is likely to face in the months ahead. Trump is known as a difficult client — he eschews legal advice, sometimes issues public threats to engage in illegal activity and frequently skips out on his legal bills.
One veteran South Florida defense attorney, Philip Reizenstein, said there’s an “incalculable value” for Trump’s team in having a well-respected local attorney who is familiar to the judge and who knows the judge’s preferences and habits. “No experienced lawyer handles a case out of town without a good local counsel,” he said.[8]
The lawyers making an appearance with [Donald] Trump on Tuesday will be the top former federal prosecutor Todd Blanche and the former Florida solicitor general Chris Kise, according to people familiar with the matter. Trump’s co-defendant, his valet Walt Nauta, will be represented by Stanley Woodward.
Trump and his legal team spent the afternoon before his arraignment interviewing potential lawyers but the interviews did not result in any joining the team in time for Trump’s initial court appearance scheduled for 3pm ET on Tuesday after several attorneys declined to take him as a client.
Trump has also seemingly been unable to find a specialist national security lawyer, eligible to possess a security clearance, to help him navigate the Espionage Act charges. . . .
After interviewing a slate of potential lawyers at his Trump Doral resort, the former president settled on having Kise appearing as the local counsel admitted to the southern district of Florida as a one-off, with Blanche being sponsored by him to appear pro hac vice, one of the people said. . . .
Trump is said to still be searching for a lawyer in the mold of Roy Cohn, the ruthless New York fixer who defended and mentored him before he was later disbarred — and the fear of potentially being asked to take similar actions has been a persistent issue.
That fear has loomed large for numerous lawyers Trump’s advisers have contacted, the people said, in particular after Trump might have made Evan Corcoran, another former lawyer who withdrew from his defense in the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation, into a witness against him.[9]
Those calls [for Aileen Cannon to recuse herself] are entirely justified: As government integrity and ethics experts Norm Eisen, Richard Painter, and Fred Wertheimer wrote Monday in Slate, Cannon’s “prior, fundamentally erroneous approach casts a shadow over the proceedings,” and has given “reasonable observers of this case” cause to “question her impartiality.” That approach included a decision last year to grant Trump’s request to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago, which would have brought the case to a standstill. It was widely-criticized as a “genuinely unprecedented decision,” as former George W. Bush Homeland Security official Paul Rosenzweig told the New York Times last year, and an affront to the separation of powers.
“In the tank for Trump hardly describes it,” constitutional law expert Laurence Tribe wrote at the time.
Her decision was ultimately shot down by a conservative appeals court, with three judge panel — two of whom were also Trump appointees — ruling that Cannon “improperly exercised equitable jurisdiction, and that dismissal of the entire proceeding is required.” “The law is clear,” the appeals panel wrote. “We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so. Either approach would be a radical reordering of our caselaw limiting the federal courts’ involvement in criminal investigations. And both would violate bedrock separation-of-powers limitations.”[10]

It was about a month ago that U.S. intelligence suggested that Vladimir Putin was exhausting his troops and weaponry in Ukraine.[12] Now Putin admits he’s short of weapons.[13]
A report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, published in April, found that Western sanctions were preventing Russia from bringing in the components needed to manufacture advanced weaponry. “While the quality of the military equipment used by the Ukrainian army continues to improve thanks to the Western aid, the quality of Russia’s weapons continues to degrade,” the analysis concluded.[14]
This doesn’t sound anything like a war that Ukraine can’t possibly win. The question here, really, is of western, especially U.S., support.[15]
