South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace used to make her staffers go on late-night booze runs, clean her house, and boost her on forums discussing the “hottest women in Congress”—and that was all before things got really bad. trib.al/gVTEOdV

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

Tariff Man Tumbles, Fumbles and Bumbles on Trade | Washington Spectator
When it comes to economics, we know two things about Donald Trump. He is obsessed with the US trade deficit. And he thinks tariffs, or import taxes, will solve the trade deficit problem.

Even slight errors in CPI, whether by mismeasurement or miscategorization, overtime can amount to very real downweighting of pay. #EconSky
The Real-Real Wage Concern
Inflation is Not Just a Problem of Costs, Since Most Wages are Still Linked to CPI. Suppressed Wages Might be a Real Driver of The Affordability Crisis

This piece I wrote for @theconversation.com argues that the Summers/Epstein debacle reflects what the data show: systemic bias in the economics profession’s practices and culture. That bias influences who succeeds and who is sidelined. #EconSky theconversation.com/larry-summer...
Larry Summers’ sexism is jeopardizing his power and privilege, but the entire economics profession hinders progress for women
In 2024, only about 1 in 3 newly minted economics Ph.D.s were women.

He also doesn't understand the basic idea of insurance. Hard to believe that @rogermarshall.bsky.social is doctor and that he got to be a Senator.
