🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

Might know some people with papers on dark money 👀
Rightly hasn't been central to the discussion surrounding the EO but it's interesting that they state they'd like to crack down on foreign money when in practice there's no way to do this without passing some dark money regulations

Some thoughts on early executive action, and Trump's likely flood thereof, in @goodauth.bsky.social. Among other things: issuing a "record setting" number of Day 1 executive orders will not be very hard.

New paper with Hannah Simpson: "Guilt and Pleading Guilty":

To shamelessly tie it to current events, consider the following: most criminal cases are settled by plea bargaining, and the evidence against Sam Bankman-Fried was overwhelming. So why did he go to trial?
