Here are the authors of the letter [the signatories].

I think this is useful for many people who don’t know whether or not an EO can or can’t happen. Thank you @sbagen @mjschlanger @NoahZatz and the other contributors.

New memo from top law professors to university leadership: Common #DEI initiatives remain legally defensible despite Trump’s Jan 21, 2025 EO and the Dept. of Ed’s Feb 14 Dear Colleague Letter.

The CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act - all of which I support - didn't win voters.

The CHIPS act in particular poured money into AZ, which still flipped to Red.

@KateAronoff puts this into context.

Voters decided on 12 #education related measures, the most in 18 years.

Five were rejected, and seven approved.

Ballot topics included taxpayer funding for private expenses, standardized testing, school board #elections, #governance, funding, and more.

Finally, media consumption is more individualized, resulting in different factions of voters getting different information about the economy.

@DeanBaker13 is quite good at holding media organizations accountable for their messaging about the economy.

#Election2024 data food for thought:

- No incumbent won an election this year [top left chart @jburnmurdoch]
- Voters told polls that inflation/economy drove their vote (though @esaagar and @makosloff discuss why that may not be the case in a recent Q&A @RealignmentPod)

[Ali @AliReporting]

Voters experience the same economic conditions differently, not just on account of state-to-state variations, but as matter of 'narrative.'

@S_Stantcheva looks at how people attribute causes of inflation differently across partisan lines.

Article by @JeffSonnenfeld Steven Tian & @Scaramucci [end of thread].

[Ali @AliReporting]

A lot of political & business media professionals/ pundits cite prediction markets (e.g., Polymarket, Kalshi, PredictIt, and Interactive Brokers) as a great indicator/forecast of who is likely to win.

This @YaleSOM article disagrees.

2. Foreign Interference & Bias: Political interests and foreign actors can influence outcomes, undermining objective predictions.

3. Restricted Access in the U.S.: Legal limitations mean fewer people can participate, limiting the pool and skewing results.
