DC Got That Attitude
Fun to wrap up a short stint at LSE's Programme on Cohesive Capitalism, working out of the rechristened Sir Arthur Lewis Building - one of my heroes.
NEW from @monicapotts.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com:

Every Trump accusation is a confession. A tale of two funds. 🧵⤵️
For years, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) was attacked by Trump allies as an unaccountable climate “slush fund.”
Now compare it to the new ~$1.7B “Anti-Weaponization Fund” tied to Trump’s IRS lawsuit settlement.
"By nationalising British Steel, UK government will now be able to take control of company strategy and press ahead with a shift from using blast furnaces to a greener electric-arc furnace."
In contrast, the US only partly controls US Steel, isn't greening it, and doesn't own it.
