@dhume @tanvi_madan True, on that there’s consensus. But equally US is not offering India a treaty alliance nor is it likely to, making it a moot point. In fact, NATO, US-Japan, and US-Australia partnership would likely not have been mutual defense treaty alliances if created from scratch today.

@d_jaishankar @dhume Beyond Dhruva's point re US POV, I'm not sure India ever systematically debated whether alliances made one more secure -- and I think that was because "strategic autonomy/no alliances" was an objective in & of itself since the beginning (along w/ security, prosperity etc)
@tanvi_madan -- Tue Sep 28 13:54:58 +0000 2021
@d_jaishankar @dhume From my TWQ piece: "The most recent formal commitments made have involved NATO expansion, and the last new bilateral alliance was signed in 1955." 1970s is when they dissolved but Ike had already started tiring of alliances by his second term. It's what opened up space for India
@tanvi_madan -- Tue Sep 28 13:36:24 +0000 2021
I understand some of the questions commentators in India have w/r/t AUKUS. 1 concern I don't understand: "dilutes Quad" -- esp coming from those who never liked the Quad. Plus, level of Quad's security focus is linked to *India's* preferences...Delhi been key in setting pace
@tanvi_madan -- Tue Sep 28 13:26:56 +0000 2021
@dhume It's relative--some wld argue allies more likely to get help & defense tech/goodies (also that being in an alliance cld deter adversary). Regardless that's why convergence of interests so important. US in 62, Sovs in 71 helped IND w/o alliance (tho some say 71 treaty came close)

@poorlyhidden Nothing odd about it, I think. If an officer puts a gun to your head and says he’ll shoot you unless you go into your house and bring out your drugs, and you comply, you become a state actor when you search your own house for your own evidence. It’s not a consent search.
@OrinKerr -- Tue Sep 28 17:50:58 +0000 2021
@poorlyhidden No. 18 U.S.C. 2703(f) requires providers to comply; it doesn't give them a choice. So complying makes them state actors, not private parties that are consenting to a seizure.

@InezFeltscher I don't hate them, and they *do* dance for him. It breaks my heart. That's a different emotion than hate.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:42:54 +0000 2021
@TimothyAlvis @InezFeltscher Exactly. But it does create a synergy, a feedback loop. It's no different than the FB algorithm that gives you more of what you clicked on.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:41:49 +0000 2021
@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher Sure. But I'm telling you that people writing about politics are not the daily experience of Yale TAs in the English Department. One of the things that makes the Trumpers crazy is that they feel ignored by the cultural elites, and they're not wrong about that.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:39:39 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher I think I've got it exactly right and the goalposts - my contempt for the people who push this poison and my anguish at the people who buy it - is right where we were 20 minutes ago.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:38:13 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher It's people searching for others to put a label on their inner emptiness and scapegoat others for it. Wealthy old people who want to be told that their rage is not the result of impending mortality but because commie perverts are taking over their beloved America.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:36:54 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher "If only you worked inside the propaganda machine, you'd see that we're just telling people the truths they want to hear!" Hard pass.

@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:31:30 +0000 2021
@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher I don't think it's purely virtuous on either side, I'm just telling you that one group in America spends a lot of time obsessing about the other - and a big part of that obsession is that their attention isn't returned.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:30:41 +0000 2021

@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:28:54 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher Again, a comforting thought. Wrong, but convenient. There's a reason I've spent a couple of years trying to figure this out. I wish I could say I was the first, but Hoffer beat me to it by 60 years.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:27:19 +0000 2021
@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher They think it about a lot. They just don't sit around saying "I wonder what a guy who owns an Applebee's in Illinois thinks of me." There is an obsession - fueled by right-wing goons from Ivies themselves - that this is a symmetrical relationship. It's not. https://t.co/nAGicv2Ima

@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:24:55 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher @BlueBoxDave Huh. Having spent 35 years in education, including several as a TA, and with multiple TAs working for me every year, I will see your "personal experience" and suggest mine is more recent and more accurate.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:23:38 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher That's an assumption on your part. I save my contempt mostly for the people who feed them propaganda, but I *do* insist they're responsible for their choices. (That used to be a conservative thing.)

@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher I don't know how to break it to you that those TAs rarely think about the auto dealers. They're busy. (You might even say that's a failing of their environment; they just don't think about whether a car dealer in Lima hates them, but that car dealer knows where Yale is.)

@InezFeltscher If writing a book trying to figure out why so many ordinary Americans have turned into raging nihilists is an "obsession," okay then. Suggest you read it before deciding what conclusions I reached.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:18:54 +0000 2021
@janecoaston @InezFeltscher Of course they do. But the resentment in modern America is about different markers of *status* rather than power. Trump is the avatar here: all the power in the world and yet marinated in resentments about a particular stratum of society that would never accept him.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:17:24 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher I know that's a comforting thought. It's not remotely the reality of my life - but I understand it helps you to valorize and excuse the well-off people seething with hate for no other reason than their own boredom and emptiness.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:13:50 +0000 2021
@janecoaston @InezFeltscher And yet the guy who owns the dealerships seethes with anger about the writer. In a busier world 30 years ago, he wouldn't care, but now he knows what you write and has the time to send you hate mail.

Here’s a hint, though: It’s not because we’re “scared of ideas.” It’s because we think faculty governance and academic freedom are pretty important values for a major research university to champion—and there are genuine concerns about how this Institute would impact both issues.

@CoriolusN @KenPaxtonTX It matters in two respects. Formally, there's still no actual judgment rejecting the challenge to the Executive Order on the merits. So practically, others can still try to make the same legal arguments against it in other courts.
@steve_vladeck -- Tue Sep 28 18:56:11 +0000 2021
@VoetsakULib @KenPaxtonTX In the typical case, yes, although likelihood of success on the merits is just one of the factors relevant to granting a stay. But it doesn't mean that the injunction *has* been overturned (which is how these rulings are typically portrayed by the Attorney General).
@steve_vladeck -- Tue Sep 28 18:41:32 +0000 2021
Watch out for @KenPaxtonTX mis-describing this ruling, as he has w/r/t prior ones on the same subject. The Court has *not* ruled for Texas on the merits; it has just frozen the lower courts' injunction against the Governor's Executive Order pending its disposition of the merits.

@smmarotta It is, and it’s also a complete red herring in broader discussions of the shadow docket. One could eliminate every nationwide injunction case from the dataset, and the same trends and problems would remain.

@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:15:11 +0000 2021
What happened was that while in the hospital, my dad caught viral pneumonia that went unnoticed. The whole state was in lockdown, and every hospital ICU was filling up with unvaccinated Covid patients. There weren't enough resources. The governor begged people to get vaxxed.

Twenty-four hours later, he was off the vent and his oxygen levels were restored. My siblings, who live closer, flew in. I spoke to him, and he was out of it but okay. Surely he would get treatment now. We thought that was the worst of it. It was not.

1/ Obvious solution (obvious to me, who does not have to wrangle 50 Senate Democratic votes...) to the political hurdles of addressing the debt limit (and extreme consequences of failing to do so) is nuking Rule 22 for measures related to suspending the debt limit. Upsides?

sad reality is that when a nation loses a war, it simply cannot get everyone whom it wants out. The expectation we could save hundreds of thousands of Afghans was never realistic. (POTUS should have made that clear rather than make open-ended promises.) https://t.co/UV2H9gC1u5
