The flaws that China ’s chief ideologue found in America

Congress might just pass an astonishingly sensible tax deal
THE “SECRET CONGRESS” theory holds that bills which attract public attention are born to partisan rancour, endure a life of torture and usually die a miserable death. For a recent example, look only to the much-hyped bipartisan deal that sought to patch up America’s broken immigration system and…#ukraine #democrats #republicans #chuckgrassley #iowa #checksandbalance #lexington (Source: Reuters: Health)

Florida too may have an abortion referendum in November
AS A PROTEST slogan, “Stop Political Interference” does not trip lightly off the tongue. But to abortion-rights activists brandishing signs with the phrase on the steps of Florida’s Supreme Court on February 7th, it cut to the heart of their precarious campaign.

This is not a story about Taylor Swift and the Super Bowl
This is not a column about Taylor Swift. It is possibly something more ridiculous, a column about all the columns about Taylor Swift. And yet attention must be paid, because so much attention is being paid. That is the ineluctable logic of the media-politics complex, a philosophical school of…#taylorswift #donaldtrump #msswift #traviskelce #kansascitychiefs #superbowl #pentagon #mrbiden #roman #superbowls (Source: Reuters: Health)

What the death of America ’s border bill says about toxic congressional politics
THE LIFE of the Senate’s bill to increase border security in exchange for sending aid to Ukraine was wretched and short. Its three main negotiators released the text on Sunday.

State attorneys-general are shaping national policy
To foreigners looking in, it is unusual enough that America elects most of its top prosecutors. More shocking is the amount of money going into political campaigns. Now the two have come together in a way that would make even the least wonky American curious.

How to trade an election
