The FTC is right to be skeptical of state licensing boards, who are notorious for weaponizing regulations to keep would-be competitors out of business. The only reason for requiring somebody to obtain a full-blown dentist’s license to set up a mall kiosk for whitening teeth is to keep out fair competition. Unfortunately, state licensure boards have become the biggest perpetrator of monopolistic behavior today.
As data on the unintended consequences of pandemic policy becomes gloomier, policy makers are beginning to acknowledge tradeoffs. In the Clark County, Nevada school district, 18 students took their lives during the nine months of school closures, which is double the number of students who committed suicide in the district in all of 2019, the New York Times reports. The youngest child was just nine years old.

Sarah Longwell: GOP senators at Trump's impeachment trial are dooming the party. They need to repudiate him
What were Senate Republicans voting on Tuesday when they opposed the impeachment trial of Donald Trump? Not whether Trump stays in office — he's already left. Not how he's remembered by history — 400,000 dead from the coronavirus have already decided that question. Instead, the fate they were deciding was their own. ... As they know better than anyone else, the kinds of politicians who populate the Senate don't have a place in the party they've helped create. No matter how much they court Trump's base or dog-whistle to the conspiracy theorists, foreign policy hawks like Marco Rubio of Florida, anti-poverty innovators like Tim Scott of South Carolina, old-school appropriators like Roy Blunt of Missouri, chameleons like Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and erstwhile constitutional libertarians like Mike Lee of Utah don't have a place in a party whose future belongs to Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, two freshman Republicans who have expressed sympathy for the QAnon cult.

The percentage of Defense Department contracts receiving waivers, however, jumped under Trump. Such waivers are a key target of Biden’s executive order. If Biden had used those statistics, sourced to the department, he would have been on more solid ground to make his point. But Biden’s jab at Trump about overall foreign-contract spending appears wildy off base. We had originally awarded this claim Three Pinocchios. But with further analysis in hand, we have rewritten the Pinocchio Test and upped the Pinocchio count to Four.
