Let's focus on qualifications: Antoni finished grad school 5 years ago at Northern Illinois with no distinction. Dissertation: No focus on labor or data collection. Zero publications. One lifetime citation (by a former colleague). This record would not earn you a job as junior economist at BLS.

Corrupt. Dangerous. Deeply deeply damaging.

We've just completed a revision of this comment and posted it to SSRN. We very much appreciate all the useful and thoughtful comments that we've gotten from colleagues, Bluesky commentators, and, of course, Ryan Oprea. @urisohn.bsky.social papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Ok, this fucking rocks. Everyone should be able to use the bathroom when they're out and about.

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Massive crowds, #NoKingsDay Chicago demonstration!

This is economic policy gone horribly wrong Can't remember the last time a chart made me this mad budgetlab.yale.edu/research/com...

Find your closest rally on Saturday and go. You can tell your kids where you were on the other side of this. Outnumber him everywhere. www.nokings.org#map

I learned so much from Renee Ferguson. She made countless lives better through her brilliant investigative journalism—as well as her mentorship of young people looking to make a difference.

More polling just dropped -- by a pretty huge margin Americans think that having international students at US universities is good for the country, not bad -- 56% to 14% (+42) and for 18-29 YOs, nearly 1/2 say international students are "very good"

one last post on international students -- public opinion is not in the administration's favor on this, and universities should not let them forget it

Wow.

New in PN: Trump's attack on Harvard hampered by his inability to STFU "The Trump administration would be getting slapped down in court even if the president & his minions *didn’t* constantly announce their intent to violate laws. But their incessant chest thumping does make things go a lot faster"

Wow. Revoking tenure is something that Harvard has not done before it seems (though some have resigned so Harvard did not have to act). Gino is now off the HBS faculty list: www.hbs.edu/faculty/unit...

Swing district Republicans are right to be worried about the fallout from Medicaid cuts. Our Briefing Book piece shows that Medicaid has grown fastest in frontline Republican districts.

I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

Impressive. Thanos only took out 170 million Americans.

Incredibly petty (I write, recognizing that I now have put my Global Entry at risk)

I’ll use this as an opportunity to promote a second independent non-replication. bsky.app/profile/geow...

💡 Open science: A team of researchers at Shandong University has attempted to replicate Oprea (2024 AER). The results do not replicate. Oprea 2024 reported an online lab experiment, and found that prospect theory anomalies occur not only for lotteries, but also for deterministic 'mirrors'.

Republicans are lying when they say “this is what Americans voted for.” Here's a thread of what Americans *didn’t* vote for: / Canceling childhood cancer research / Shipping people to a foreign torture prison without a hearing / Arresting judges / Torching our close relationship with Canada 🧵

A wonderful celebration of independent bookstores!

This doesn’t create the “appearance” of corruption or set up the “potential” for conflict of interest. It is corruption, and it’s a standing conflict of interest. Patently, and historically.

The Gerald F. and Marjorie G. Fitzgerald Professor of Economic History at Northwestern University. There will be many more and we will all be poorer and worse off because of it.

My father was a professor and a proud member of AAUP. AAUP supported 4 (!) faculty strikes during his time on the faculty. Years later, I’m finally a proud member as well, though I have a different reason to support AAUP as it fights for the preservation of higher education.

Horrible. Heinous. Unlawful.

“He did say he was a U.S. citizen, but they didn't believe him...I think they would have kept him. I think they would have if they would have not got that information yesterday in the court and gave that to ICE and the Border Patrol. He probably would have been deported already to Mexico.”

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

Harvard’s Letter to Trump Admin, if you haven’t seen it.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

Chicago #HandsOff

I pitched my NYT editor that folks really need to understand that the deadweight loss of tariffs rises in the square of the tariff rate. Despite the wonkiness of it all, they said yes--as long as you can explain that intuitively. Lemme know how I did:

Keep in mind: the NEH’s budget is 0.01% of the entire federal budget. This is not about savings - it is about the destruction of the Humanities and the critical thinking abilities that they teach. 🗃️

NBC News: A federal judge just issued a final judgement and permanent injunction against the Trump admin — ruling that the National Institutes of Health must continue funding research grants at their original, full amounts.  @msnbc.com

Unforgivable. And needless to say THIS IS WHY WE HAVE DUE PROCESS.

Horrific.

Dr. Sam R. Sommers was one of those truly good people who also happened to be a total powerhouse. It is with deep sadness that I share the news of his death. Everyone who had Sam in their lives was lucky, and I am grateful for every moment he shared with me. ❤️💖💫 now.tufts.edu/2025/03/20/r...
