The Men Who Cost Clinton the Election
Many of the journalists who stand accused of sexual harassment covered the 2016 presidential campaign.
"This
moment isn’t about a nation of confused men. It’s about a minority of
men who choose to treat women alternately as walking sex objects or
bothersome and potentially devious nags. It’s about a majority of
Americans who give men a pass for all manner of bad behavior, because
they assume men are entitled to behave badly but hold women to an
entirely different standard.
That
is why it’s so egregious that sexual harassers set the tone of much of
the coverage of the woman who hoped to be the first female president."
Misogyny is part of the culture.

Who Gains From the Tax Plan? Economists Face Off
Republican leaders say their proposals will fuel investment and job creation. Critics say that the rich are the beneficiaries and that debt will weigh on growth. We asked two economists, one from each side, to make their cases.Paul KrugmanVerified account @paulkrugman 42 minutes ago
Matt O'Brien dives through the muck of the Tax Foundation "model" so we don't have to. Bottom line: it's nonsense even on their own assumptions; and somehow all the conceptual errors favor tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy

Ehud Barak: We Must Save Israel From Its Government
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition is irrational, bordering on messianic.Ehud Barak understands the problem.
His proposed resolution is unworkable.
Giving up the notion of an exclusively Jewish state could
point toward eventual peace. Giving up the notion of a democratic state could lead to a single state solution more quickly at the cost of genocide and eternal war leading to the annihilation of all parties.

Republicans Near a Big Win — but Will It Lift Them Politically?
Senate passage of a trillion-dollar tax cut will be a much-needed Republican victory, but it remains to be seen whether it lifts them out of their political ditch.If the act passes as written Obama-care is overthrown along with most other social legislation.
The Republican party will be destroyed.
The Constitution will probably be destroyed with the Republicans.
I would regret that.
