Wow . . . At what point do we not even need to see the Epstein files to have a good idea of Trump's involvement?

Congratulations, Maite!

Congratulations, Jeffrey!

Congratulations to Simona, a great researcher doing excellent work!

Congrats, Lorenzo!

Congratulations, Guohui!

That is *exactly* why people need to turn out and protest . . .

MACO?

I think it is critical to get out and protest on June 14 (www.axios.com/2025/06/07/n...), as loudly and visibly as possible. That is the day Trump wants to be celebrated and to lord over "his" armed forces. Americans need to show that it is not that kind of country . . .

THREE full professorships in Data Science, Microeconomics & Behavioral Econ — great colleagues, excellent research conditions and a spectacular setting in the Alps.

Please share! 📈📉

I know it's just one graph and a single measure, but . . . wow . . .

Is expressing fear of "increasing transience" the new quiet way to say that you don't want non-white people in your neighborhood?

Any bets on how long until this happens under the Trump / Hegseth DOJ?

Congrats, Erin!

I think there is a comma missing from the NYT headline. It should read, “Justice Dept. to Use False Claims, Act to Pursue Institutions Over Diversity Efforts.”

It's a government by the con-men for the con-men . . . I'm sure it won't be the last pardoned criminal to be appointed to represent the US under Trump . . .

The idea of any single person (let alone Musk) potentially controlling communication and information to the degree highlighted in this story is frightening . . .

Thanks for doing this work! Given the "researcher degrees of freedom" in empirical work of this type, checking the robustness of the findings to the many judgment calls that the authors might have made when analyzing the data and deciding what to report is highly valuable.

But, maybe she *should* stop . . . Despite everything she's done, the Democratic party could probably use fewer octogenarians right now . . .

Know your rights. ⚖️✊🏼🚨

The phrase "New Fed Chair Donald Trump Jr." would do wonders for the markets . . .

If you work in, study at, or an alumnus of a U.S. university, it is a good time to contact your school's leadership to insist on taking a stand against government overreach.

I think (s)he wants to eat you!

More and more right-wing politicians cynically use Jews as scapegoats to justify hateful policies against other groups, such as Muslims, immigrants, or academic institutions.

It's an old trope to blame Jews for unpopular policies and to pit minorities against each other. Please don't fall for it.

But, the hair . . .

Opinion | How DOGE is making government almost comically inefficient It’s as though “efficiency” isn’t the actual goal.

In the name of “Efficiency,” DOGE is doing everything it can to make government less efficient.
