The country desperately needs congressional Democrats to get their shit together, and it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

When I was back home I spent an afternoon volunteering at the food bank my mom helps run. It’s in a mid sized Midwestern city. It was pretty eye opening. These are people who are really reliant on the social safety net that the BBB slashed. Here’s a list of observations 1/x

This week on #TheProfessorIsIn, we dig into official economic statistics. What are they? Why does the government provide them? Why there's a trade-off between accuracy, timeliness, and cost. And why it's so important that these numbers be produced free of political interference. youtu.be/oSbnv2drRkA
Economic data. Where does it come from, what do we do with it, and why must politics stay out of it?
In this episode of "The Professor Is In," economist Justin Wolfers tackles the battle over the jobs numbers—and why trustworthy economic data matters for everyone.

I was just in Japan for two weeks, and learned a lot from talking Japanese policy wonks about the "strategic ambiguity" at the heart of the US-Japan trade deal, and what this reveals is -- and isn't -- in a number of the President's "deals."

“Maybe the only way to win the White House in the near future is to be as tricksy as the other guy. So far, no Democrat has figured out another method to effectively compete with MAGA.” EXACTLY!

Gavin Newsom is going low. Is this the future of Democratic campaigns? - The Boston Globe
The California governor is considering going beyond warring with words and is flirting with the same sneaky tactics as his political opponents.

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Tell everyone in Wisconsin
Trump's tariffs will negatively impact almost 300,000 Wisconsin jobs—the highest percentage of any state.
77% of those affected voted for the person creating this harm.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.
