What I didn’t have time to do was to take a victory lap that I pretty much predicted this 3 years ago: e-ir.info/2021/05/05/opinion… That article mostly holds up, though Biden hasn’t worked through the WTO like I thought he would.
Interview over. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with my performance (when am I ever?) but I got a couple of my points across well enough, I think. I’ll post a link to the segment when they provide it so you can judge for yourselves!

Returning to Twitter for some self-promotion: I’ll be appearing on Miami’s WIOD radio tomorrow at ~10:18 AM with @IODManny to talk about Pres. Biden’s newly announced tariffs on China. You can listen along on IHeart Radio even if you aren’t in S. Florida. wiod.iheart.com/

The main point I was hoping to make (and got to at the end) is that these tariffs could actually work if they’re temporary and US manufacturers use the time to create inexpensive EVs before they get destroyed by cheap subsidized Chinese imports.

If US automakers (and battery makers and solar panel makers) can’t or don’t do this, the tariffs are just a waste of time and consumer money. Even so, other policies could achieve the same goal without the consumer effects, though they’re less politically viable.

🎙️ Just wrapped up an engaging panel presentation at #APSA2023. I presented my survey experiment on elite decision-making in Multilateral Development Banks. Grateful for @SeanDEhrlich for the feedback and the @Interna01697120 section!

Idalia is passing east of Tallahassee, thankfully. It’s rainy and breezy here but we’re being spared the worst of it. We might not even get sustained TS force winds at all, although it’s already gusting up to that level and will likely get worse later this morning.

Still, we dodged a bullet here. Other parts of FL are less lucky, and my heart goes out to everyone in Perry and the rest of the SE Big Bend, but I’m breathing a huge sigh of relief.

5 PM update moves track further west but interestingly reduced the chances Tallahassee experiences strong winds. Looks like we’re going to get tropical-storm force winds here but very unlikely to get hurricane force winds. Good chance I’ll lose power but should be OK otherwise.
Wheeee! Hurricane warning in Tallahassee! (FTR, worst of the storm seems likely to pass east of us and it is still officially unlikely we get hurricane force sustained winds despite the warning, but the next 24+ hours are still likely to be anxiety inducing at a minimum.)

And by OK, I mean I could lose a shingle or two off my roof or a slat off my fence or the like but no structural damage and certainly nothing causing injury.

Pskov is notable as being the site of the climactic battle in Eisenstein’s Alexander Nemsky. Probably not relevant to current events, but you never know.
Air Raid Sirens can be heard and a Massive Fire is burning in the Russian City of Pskov near the Estonian Border.

But CNN recently told me that Tim Scott was gaining support among both Republicans and Democrats. Was that “people in a diner told the reporter something” bullshit or did the reporter have even less evidence than that?
*New* Trump now holds his largest lead in our polling. DeSantis has fallen further back. Everyone else is in single digits Here: tinyurl.com/3zxv8mee

There’s a pretty decent chance Democrats will retain control of the Senate because Ohio Republicans passed a draconian anti-abortion. Just as, if not more, important, it looks like that bill will be overturned in November.
