Prospect Weekend Reads
Week of February 6th
Stories from the week you don't want to miss!

President Joe Biden delivers his State of the Union speech to a joint
session of Congress, at the Capitol in Washington, February 7, 2023.
The Twilight of the Deficit Hawks
<[link removed]>:
President Biden's willingness during the State of the Union to hold
Republicans accountable for wanting to cut social spending is indicative
of one optimistic trend: the era of bipartisan deficit hawkery is coming
to a close. Read David Dayen on how the paradigm on social programs in
Washington has shifted.
Will the Education Culture War Backfire on Republicans?
<[link removed]>:
The GOP's culture war on K-12 education is a false pretext for the
same old agenda of undermining public schools. But according to new
polling, as Jarod Facundo explains, parents have vastly different
priorities.
Biden Forges a New Democratic Paradigm
<[link removed]>:
During this week's State of the Union address, President Biden
exhibited empathy, strength, and mastery of political improvisation as
he prioritized economic relief to America's working class-the kind
of rhetoric that just might get him re-elected, Harold Meyerson argues.
Electric-Vehicle Charging Swerves Around Speed Bumps
<[link removed]>:
BP is trying to temper outrage that it is increasing oil and gas
production by investing $8 billion in so-called energy transition
projects like electric-vehicle charging, but this mixed bag of
priorities is raising concerns about the future of electric vehicles.
Gabrielle Gurley has the story.
The Working-Class Roots of 'Woke Capital'
<[link removed]>:
Rather than placing workers' savings into the care of ESG investors
who have differing interests at heart, Jeffrey Sklansky argues,
retirement funds should place the power back in their hands by
establishing collective rights to investment.
