Now this is interesting. Will the US now keep supporting Russia against Ukraine?

We renamed it “Regime 0” to help with pronunciation!

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

The Fed Cir held in Global Tubing v. Tenaris, 2026 WL 530911 (Feb 26, 2026) that a firm claimed to have a 26% market share could be guilty of attempted monopolization by intentionally withholding material documents in its patent application. Things are changing at the Fed. Cir.

President Trump has made $4 billion by illegally trading access to the White House to get rich. He controls the Dept of Justice and the Congress so he won't be held accountable - until he doesn't control the Dept of Justice and Congress.

In any other context, requiring a high-productivity sector to offshore the production of its highest value-added exports would be seen as the economic illiteracy it so obviously is... www.ft.com/content/a23c...

GOP Adds ‘ICE Kills Everyone’ Pillar To 2026 Platform

Best way to stop the conquest of Greenland is to point out the likelihood of two additional Democratic senators.

The FT writes: Jamie Dimon warns Trump administration’s attacks on Fed could boost inflation Sounds like many of these people thought they could get a dragon elected and then control the dragon. But it turns out (as one could know from history, literature, myths) that dragons can’t be controlled.

I have a new paper w Andrea Prat & Jake Spitz. We show that Republican appointed Supreme Court Justices vote in favor of the richer party by over 70% today, as compared to D’s at 30%. In the 1950s and both were at 50%. This strong trend may contribute to rising inequality. www.nber.org/papers/w34643

"Looking at the share of a justice's decisions that favor the wealthy over the course of our analysis period, we see that the court becomes more and more polarized along partisan lines." www.nber.org/papers/w34643 American democracy is truly in dire straits...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Skiing, an activity that Paul calls outdated, fixes this.

MAGA: Sweden is in the midst of civil war, on the cusp of civilisational erasure Swedes: on your paid holiday, please borrow some free skates so you can enjoy our public rink in the middle of the idyllic square in the heart of our walkable city.

I'm watching his speech and it's wild he has no idea what's going on in the country. 54% of Americans say they won't be able to pay for health care next year. 25% skipped a meal because they couldn't afford it. The economy is good for billionaires. That's all he cares about.

The brilliant Kate Ho has passed away. She was an amazing economist and a genuinely kind human being. Her work shaped how we think about healthcare markets and her generosity touched everyone lucky enough to know her. The profession and the world are poorer without her.

FIFA awarding a "peace prize" to Trump would be so absolutely on-brand, a truly genius innovation.

Can lawyers tell me if regular people are allowed to fight unidentified muggers if they do not know whether they are CBP or criminals?

It's been a few days since Trump announced his "deal" with Xi. It's now clear that Trump got fleeced. America gave up lots and got nothing. It's a story you should know bc few things matter more than the U.S.-China relationship. 1/ So here's a🧵

I wonder which position in the Trump Administration Andrew will now pick?

The Netherlands finished burying all of its telecom and low/medium voltage power lines more than 20 years ago. When you look out at a Dutch street your view is not obstructed by overhead crap. Why is America still a primitive mess and why aren’t Americans even trying to fix it

Whoever is the next Democratic presidential candidate should vow to tear down the hideous ballroom and rebuild the Rose Garden, I bet there are a lot of votes in that
