The worst ones are people like Hassett, who are very aware that they are lying to the American people week after week on Sunday shows to cover for Trump, but do it effortlessly with a smile. In many ways worse than the brainless cultists. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Kevin Hassett: "The president wants his own people there, so that when we see the jobs numbers, they are more transparent and more reliable."

What wild, utter incompetence. Such an embarrassment.
At event today, CEA chair Stephen Miran was asked about notorious tariff formula
Said CEA proposed a bunch of ways to estimate non-tariff barriers, but Trump ultimately instead chose a formula designed to close deficits, proposed by "someone else in the administration"

However, my old office at HUD, PD&R, is on the D0GE chopping block and I want to spell-out why this is a terrible idea...

Truly bewildering that things that would disqualify someone from virtually any normal job are somehow not that big of a deal in the context of the absolute most critical roles in our government. Personally, I think it should be the opposite.

I have an op-ed in the NYT today about how to reduce crime.
The key idea, based on decades of strong research evidence: focus on increasing the probability of getting caught, not the punishment.
