If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

CBO significantly raised its projections of the interest rate the government pays on its debt. This is a key driver of debt/gdp sustainability.

It also means higher interest rates on credit card debt, auto loans, mortgages, etc. And it means higher prices, since business investments cost more.

In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing).
Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.

One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

New piece from @jaredb-econ.bsky.social and me showing how the fiscal situation has deteriorated under Trump.

Jared and I are two notable fiscal doves. We explain why doves should reexamine some of our priors.

Crucially, we *must not* cut crucial services when looking at course correction.

President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Raises the Fiscal Gap to 2.4 Percent
A combination of higher deficits, higher interest rates, and lower growth has left the United States with a significantly worse fiscal outlook.

Jesus Christ. The "pivot" lasted about 15 minutes.

Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.
NEWS: The Trump regime has arrested Don Lemon in its latest crackdown on journalism after he reported from inside a church protest in Minnesota—despite a magistrate judge previously rejecting the case against him as unsupported by evidence.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

An important thing we can do right now is to say it’s unacceptable to have people on the news who are paid to performatively lie, even if the lie looks foolish. This guy is not actually speaking an opinion, he is doing community theater.
