The only way to win is not to play in the first place.

stop making me cheer for the atlantic

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

OTOH, if they do this, Dems will get 60 Senate seats and a 2/3 majority in the House.

Seems bad.

I’ll be presenting The Consequences of Faculty Sexual Misconduct at NBER Ed at 9:40ct if you want to watch on YouTube www.nber.org/programs-pro...

As a department secretary, I would simply avoid insulting a person who has disproportionate control over your appropriations.

Run on draining the swamp. Here's exhibit #1.

“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

This house proposal is DOA. Neither the Senate nor the Governor will accept it. BUT it’s a big message about the November election. If the GOP gets a trifecta in MI then this becomes a real possibility.

Republicans are complaining that Virginia’s new electoral map favors Democrats. They should use their newfound realization that gerrymandering is antidemocratic to work together with Democrats—and ban it, @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.

We’re not a serious country. Look, I’m sorry I don’t want to listen to the guy with the nazi tattoo who seems to be cosplaying as a fisherman but who we should send to the Senate because he has a beard? Or something. Anyway, he definitely has principles and won’t Fetterman, Source: Trust me, bro.

I don't know why Dems wouldn't want to run on an issue that is 55 - 37 in their favor.

Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now

North Carolina, a 51 percent Trump state

What Trump is doing to the world economy….

Bit of a problem when you kill everyone who can negotiate with you without a plan for installing a successor regime.

it's cool that this is literally just 100% Trump's fault

Well, Peter, let me tell you about a story involving the existence of the Senate…

Two things can be true: Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

what if they made the entire administration out of katrina response

Next step, blame it on the Jews.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

Jets trade their draft pick for Sam Darnold

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating. One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

Lord, why doth you give to others what I cannot have?

It took this dude one year to put “Nixon in the middle of Watergate” numbers on the board. In some ways he’s a generational talent at the peak of his game.

🎶 The wheels on the bus are coming off, coming off, coming off…

Tillis has said he won't vote out of Judiciary an A-G nominee who says "one thing that excused the events of January the 6th". I'd love to see him (and, why not, others!) extend that to Patrick's principle below ...

This alone should lead every Dem (and frankly every R as well, but well…, y’know) to vote against Warsh.

This is a damning data point as we try to estimate if Warsh would withstand political pressure from Trump.

Lots of people in close quarters, some even on ships where they can’t avoid other people. What could go wrong?

Folks, we are crashing through the Bush Line.

Getting a PhD and then working outside academia is dope. My advisees who’ve done that are more or less uniformly happy and feel that they’re using the skills they trained on. (I talked to one today who just landed a great gig). Just wanted to convey that to anyone it might benefit.

I am a PhD in economics who works inside academia and I approve this message.

Econometricians taking our toys away again.

“People hate ai” is an expressed preference App Store downloads are a revealed preference

Freedom is only a hop away. Can he make it?

Earthset

FWIW, the answer to this question is “no”

It’s back to threatening war crimes again.

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

I can’t read the paywalled article but using critiques of Jo Boaler to attack all of quantitative education research is nonsense. There is tons of excellent education research, experimental and quasi experimental. And our knowledge of what works has grown dramatically in recent years as a result.

I think it’s more that in this environment, it doesn’t matter who you put up, someone with a D next to his or her name is going to get spotted 8 - 12 points off the 2024 baseline.

*holding a gun in my shaking hands* “EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME THINK FOR A SECOND!!!”

What a strange world we live in.
