Chait doesn't trouble himself to say which of the actions that these lefties are promoting amount to bad policy and are politically damaging to boot. The push to regulate cryptocurrencies? The lawsuits to break up the monopolies that stifle competition? The move to enable the 20 percent of American workers who are bound by noncompete agreements that keep them from seeking different jobs?

The efforts to enable workers to join unions without fear of being fired? The enforcement of trade laws preventing sham Mexican unions? The ruling that companies that break U.S. labor laws during union elections must then recognize the union? None of this, and in fact no action outside of legislation-which Congress drives as much as the president-is mentioned at all.

I see that #JonathanChait is prejudging the #TrumpIndictment before anyone's read it. So very on-brand.

Long articles for grown-ups.

I, for one, am glad we have intellectuals like #JonathanChait who are finally willing to call out the two hooligans pictured below for the harm they have done to impressionable children for 50+ years.

Excerpt from article by Jonathan Chait with text: “Children come into the clinic using pronouns of inanimate objects like ‘mushroom, ‘rock, or ‘helicopter,” and were given puberty blockers or cross- sex hormones. One boy had an “intense obsessive-compulsive disorder that..."
