Prospect Weekend Reads
Week of August 29th
Stories from the week you don't want to miss!

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), left, and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the top
Republican on the Judiciary Committee, speak to reporters following a
Republican Conference meeting at the Capitol in Washington, June 8,
2022.
The Coming Republican Inquisition
: The GOP
is salivating over the prospect of taking control of the House, not
because of their power to legislate but because of their power to harass
President Biden though endless congressional investigations. Read Robert
Kuttner on what Republicans have in store if they win in November.
Raphael Warnock Gears Up to Tackle the GOP's Most Valuable Player
:
Senator Raphael Warnock is running on an impressive record for his first
term, delivering real results for Georgians. Despite his achievements,
his opponent Herschel Walker may still win. Gabrielle Gurley wrote about
why.
Trump's Patent Director Pressured Judges to Rule in His Law Firm's Favor
:
The US Patent and Trademark Office's former director used his position
to make sure that his previous (and future) employer benefited from some
of the rulings made by rulings made by patent judges. Alex Moss and Timi
Iwayemi from the Revolving Door Project have the story.
Why Obama-Era Economists Are So Mad About Student Debt Relief
:
As Lindsay Owens and David Dayen describe, Biden's approach to canceling
student debt is a rebuke of the Obama-era consensus on who bears the
responsibility for the debt crisis and higher education costs. No wonder
some former officials are upset.
The Hank Hill Solution to Climate Change
:
Air conditioners and other refrigerants have a disproportionate impact
on climate change, as many of the chemicals used in AC are powerful
greenhouse gases. Ryan Cooper wrote about how alternatives to currently
popular refrigerants could mitigate their climate costs.
