I’m not sure exactly when the political memoir industry turned into another lefty grift operation, but it’s hardly anything more than that now.

Seriously, does anyone read these things?

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Chuck Schumer Is Now Driving His Own Clown Car. “Eric Swalwell’s protracted exit from politics has preoccupied the Democrats of late, which has pushed Schumer and his troubles into the background. One of my longstanding beliefs about Schumer is that, despite having risen to the top of Dem leadership, he’s one of the dumbest people in the Senate — think East Coast Mazie Hirono.”

WHAT’S HOBBLING HIGHER-ED REFORM? There is a real (though nascent) effort from within higher ed to try to save the sector and make it something we can be proud of again. Rick Hess lays out some of the issues tripping them up.

Democrats are discussing plans after retaking power to change the system so they never lose it again. Carville (curiously on a national podcast) told Democrats to keep the plans quiet: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.” … https://t.co/LA7lKwbGOQ

…it’s never enough.

HMM: Trump to sign executive order on psychedelic drug used abroad to treat PTSD.

The White House is drafting an executive order that would signal the Trump administration’s willingness to further U.S. research into a drug called ibogaine.

Ibogaine, a naturally occurring compound from a shrub native to Africa, is used to treat depression, anxiety, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and brain trauma.

Because it’s illegal in the United States, Americans have been traveling to unregulated clinics, often in Mexico or the Caribbean, to take the drug.

The Trump administration doesn’t plan to reclassify the drug for medical use at this time — it will remain a Schedule I drug.

President Trump intends to sign the executive order as soon as this week, two of the sources said.

Almost anything might be an improvement. There hasn’t been a PTSD drug approved by the FDA since Paroxetine (Paxil) in 2001.
