O ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), usou uma aeronave da Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB) para viajar de Brasília a São Paulo. A viagem ocorreu em 26 de março, um dia antes da final do Campeonato Paulista. Na ocasião, o Corinthians, time para o qual o ministro torce, e o Palmeiras, maior rival, se enfrentaram na NeoQuímica Arena, em Itaquera, na zona leste da capital paulista.

Ludwig von Mises’s 1927 path-breaking work in political theory speaks to the current generations. In section 5 of his introduction to Liberalism: The Classical Tradition, Mises sounds impeccably relevant in describing how the opponents of liberalism and the market economy twist facts that are plainly before our eyes. You’ll see how he refuted the absurd claim that capitalism serves only a tiny privileged and exploitative group. The work of most thinkers passes away soon after they do. Not […]
If you’ve ever played the online game Worldle, where players guess a country based on its silhouette, you’ll know the frustrating experience of failing to accurately identify the day’s blob that turns out to be some insignificant island territory.

Judges are abusing their powers in order to block President Trump from cutting the budget and firing federal employees. Some people respond to this dire situation by demanding more power for the president. We must have government by executive order, they say. Is dictatorship such a terrible word? Not if […]
President Trump is determining equivalent reciprocal tariffs, considering remedies, and estimating fiscal impacts on the national government and information-collection costs to the public. Fast, extensive change, even change that’s initially for the worse, works out best for freedom. Even so, tariff increases have done serious harm and have persisted for decades. It’s worth discussing constitutionality, harms, dynamics, and options. Constitutionality Tariffs unconstitutionally deprive each person of a different proportion of his liberty, as do all revenue sources other […]
The thing about abuse is you get used to it. Eventually, it becomes normal – having been normalized. For instance, this business of the president starting wars. Just deciding it’s time to lob bombs on other countries. This is not the president’s constitutional prerogative, which is the relevant point. Not whether the country on the receiving end of the bombs – and sometimes, troops – perhaps deserves to have bombs lobbed on it or American troops sent to it. Those are considerations […]
