Democratic funders should invest in a Jasmine Crockett Hype House. I'm 100% serious.

I am so here for this -- if there's a way for other scholars to contribute, I'd love to help!

The measured consideration of each bite, oh my goodness

more memories than I wish I had of arguing with grad school classmates about how people probably weren't voting for Trump because he was somehow antiwar

hmmm

It has no intrinsic value and is therefore extremely volatile? @cnn.com

Civic minded multimillionaires, let's talk about @heartlandsignal.bsky.social

Why Are Michigan Republicans Meddling in a Democratic Primary?st Michigan Republicans target a Democratic primary, strategically backing a controversial candidate to influence the state senate special election race in a calculated political maneuver.

In this week's newsletter I wrote about Republicans' plan to win in 2026. Is it doing popular things? No, it's trying to get Democrats to nominate candidates with lots of baggage radio-free-america.beehiiv.com/p/why-are-mi...

Two cities under siege Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

So about Jerome Powell On Fed Independence, Powell, and the Trump Administration

One grim takeaway I have from 2024 is that you could've run hundreds of millions of dollars on ads saying Trump would tank the markets and our global standing and it wouldn't have made a difference, everyone was just in the mood to Touch The Stove.

Thoughts Going Into The New Year And another reference to the Odd Lots hosts

In under the wire with some reflections about economic policies in 2025, and another set of shout outs for @weisenthal.bsky.social and @tracyalloway.bsky.social from Odd Lots: open.substack.com/pub/ninaeich...
