@ianmitchell1.bsky.social & @samhugh3s.bsky.social find that a 1 year US aid freeze could trigger an economic shock of 1% of GNI in 23 economies—with eight countries, incl. South Sudan, Somalia & Ethiopia, facing a devastating 3%+ hit.

Which other countries could step up?

AOC says we should pass campaign finance reform so everyone can “stop being so scared of what a billionaire man child thinks”.

Elon responds with a picture he generated by asking Grok for “images of AOC as sexy Pepe”.

We’re reaching levels of divorced dad misogyny previously unknown to science

I spoke with @aljazeera.com about the economic effects of the mass deportation of unauthorized and authorized immigrants proposed for next year

Americans can expect reduced employment, reduced economic growth, and higher inflation

How will Trump’s plans to deport undocumented migrants impact US economy?
Studies show Trump policies would cause ‘significant tightening in the already-tight job market’, hurting many sectors.

Yay! Incredibly deserved. Important to note that Claudia's work extended far beyond women in the labor market. Also pioneered the empirical revolution in labor economics more generally, and did important work on inequality — her Great Compression paper had a profound influence
