We held the event in the Lower Ballroom of the Current Affairs Building. (The Upper Ballroom had been condemned, unjustly.) I invited everyone who was anyone in the media and political worlds: New Republic editor in chief Maximilian Alvarez, Labor Secretary Matthew Bruenig, California governor Meagan Day

Quote
Pensions, which soon would have swallowed 20 percent of state revenue, were threatening to starve social services — including the Providence Public Library, where Raimondo’s grandfather, who, arriving from Italy at 14 with little education and less English, studied to improve his chances. As state treasurer, she told “crowded, angry union halls” that cities and towns might go bankrupt and that promised pensions would disappear. Her reforms — pausing cost-of-living increases, raising the retirement age and the ratio of defined-contribution to defined-benefit plans — passed Rhode Island’s House 57 to 15 and the Senate 35 to 2.
Quote
Raimondo has cut taxes every year and removed 8,000 pages of regulations — 30 percent of the state’s regulations.
Quote
Joe Biden’s choice of a running mate will matter to the electorate’s large moderate majority more than such choices usually do, for two reasons. Biden will be 78 on Jan. 20, 2021. And his choice will indicate whether the trajectory of the world’s oldest party will be determined by its left-wing minority that strenuously opposed his nomination, or by the party’s temperate majority, which produced the Democrats’ 2018 success.

The Democratic left, with its addiction to indignation and its aversion to practical politics, might recoil from Raimondo because she understands the enormous financial sector of a nation now chin-deep in red ink. And because she had the impertinence to persuade crucial Democratic constituencies — public employees unions, including those of teachers — to support difficult choices. After defeating a left-wing primary challenger by 24 points, she was resoundingly reelected in one of the nation’s bluest states, and then became chair of the Democratic Governors Association.

A Biden-Raimondo ticket would achieve the left’s primary goal, the removal of President Trump. And the resulting administration would restore adult supervision in Washington.

Ah yes, one of the most unpopular governors in the country. Perfect choice.

Christ, trump had higher approval ratings than here end of 2019. GOP must have run somebody awful for her to win in November last year

"Sure the tax bill slashed the corporate rate from 35% to 21% but it also eliminated a lot of loopholes and deductions, so really raising it back to 35% again isn't an apples-to-apples comparison. Bumping it up a bit but keeping it lower than the old rate should be fine."

Gross federal corporate tax receipts fell by more than half after that bill was passed.

Crazy how it seems like every new tax bill is finally going to close the loopholes until the next one comes around and you find out there are more of them to close

Remember how bananas the process was for passing that bill?

Nobody had any idea what was in it, they did as much of it in secret as possible, and in the next few months there were about a dozen stories with a lede that went: "An obscure provision in the tax reform law signed by President Trump may have wide-ranging and unintended consequences for [industry X] as tax preparers scramble to figure out what the fuck any of this means."

— Senator Elizabeth Warren, whose full-throated opposition to high-dollar fund-raising events was a central tenet of her presidential campaign, has agreed to host such a gathering of donors for Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic nominee, who is considering her to be his running mate.

The online event is set to take place on June 15, according to three people with knowledge of the plans, who spoke under condition of anonymity to share the details.

During her presidential run, Ms. Warren explicitly vowed not to attend private fund-raisers or dial up rich donors. A Massachusetts progressive, she championed tax increases on the wealthy and at times sharply criticized big-money donors. Her rise in public opinion polls last summer deeply concerned many veteran Democratic donors, particularly those on Wall Street and in the banking sector who believed she would damage their industries.

Ms. Warren’s spokeswoman declined to comment. Biden campaign officials did not respond to requests for comment.
