Today’s MM: When it comes to Trump, Big Bank CEOs Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive. Plus, a must read from @eleanormueller.bsky.social breaking down the gavel race for House Financial Services www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Trump is busy lauding his freshly minted economic team. But many of its members have openly critiqued his policy goals — some as recently as this year. Read @samjsutton.bsky.social’s latest (and welcome him to Bluesky with a follow!): www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

“I could very well see a press briefing room where Maggie Haberman sits next to Joe Rogan.”

“There is a playbook here that the Democrats have consistently and traditionally used to win over Hispanics that I think just was diluted this cycle. Trump has the ability to dilute it.”

Some reading for Thanksgiving break?

New: It’s McHenry v. Johnson on passing limits on U.S.-China investment this Congress. “The best path forward is to let the incoming administration write policy,” a McHenry spox tells me. “It would be a missed opportunity for Congress,” Johnson tells me. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2024...

Thanks for the nod, Aaron! Lots of other top-shelf names on here.

Back in bluer skies at @vtg2.bsky.social’s urging… What’d I miss?

Hard to underscore just how much I am enjoying having a feed that is mostly economists and academics right now 🥲 s/o @vtg2.bsky.social for inviting me to my new favorite social media and thank you all for posting such genuinely interesting and informative things!

Well, so much for news links on Twitter! It's now no link at all, just the image and the url. Not a good day for media that have built their entire business around posting their links 1000 times a day on a collapsing site owned by a petulant rich creep. Gee, strange that didn't work out, huh?

Some great economics & policy reporters on here now: @andrewvandam.bsky.social @bencasselman.bsky.social @carlquintanilla.bsky.social @citizencohn.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social @eleanormueller.bsky.social @emilypeck.bsky.social @jeffstein.bsky.social 📈📉
