Did Dodd-Frank backdoor legalize sports gambling? As far-fetched as that sounds, that’s basically what prediction market platforms are claiming. Expect SCOTUS to step in soon: https://t.co/WM2w00lnmv

The Mamdani-backed bill to ban Amazon and FedEx from contracting with last-mile delivery companies in NYC fails on all counts: Kills jobs, boosts unions, and makes deliveries more expensive. https://t.co/e7uBHPCWLq

Do you like goats? Do you want to prevent wildfires? Then don’t move to California. https://t.co/clfJ8Cdrd1

Your @Uber driver may soon be unionized. The recent rise of sectoral bargaining is taking the gig economy by storm. My latest in @WSJ.

Ever noticed that line-time on your restaurant receipt that says “meal tax”? I explain how the rise of food-specific taxes are spreading—despite politicians claiming they care about food affordability. https://t.co/9tvozZaDue

What gets overlooked in the fight over Congress’ $25 minimum wage bill? It’s proposed elimination of the tipped-wage credit for restaurant workers. Repealing the credit would hurt restaurant owners, servers, and customers all at the same time: https://t.co/by4UymkLAm

The progressive left refuses to give up the fight to reclassify gig workers as full-scale employees. The latest reclassification fights have migrated to New Jersey:

I think this piece ruffled some feathers. Unions have scored some notable recent political victories. But the fundamentals remain the same: Policies like public sector collective bargaining and eliminating right-to-work continue to be bad bets. https://t.co/kmVhe1Br6d

The recent verdict out of California in the big social media addiction trial is getting a lot of press. But there’s no need to simply wait on courtroom verdicts; there are basic steps policymakers can take right now to protect kids from social media. https://t.co/nffvIYJPly

Here's my comment letter to DOL about the proposed rule: https://t.co/15UnCw6JEx

The Department of Labor is proposing to free independent contractors—again. Here’s my take on the new proposed rule. https://t.co/jbp3zn4wNy

$33 hamburgers? Coming to a restaurant (in NYC) near you if $30 by ’30 goes through (and eliminates the tipped-wage credit for restaurant workers, as the new city council bill does). Also, not just at fancy restaurants, which already have $30 burgers. https://t.co/XiCrEaIstS

Remember Scott Walker’s famous Tea Party era collective bargaining reforms? They’re now 15 years old. And they worked. Too bad they’re likely to be overturned soon by the Wisconsin supreme court. https://t.co/C0roCVfid6

Everybody is talking about affordability these days. But a lot of government action makes things such as food less affordable. Catch me on the @cityjournal podcast talking about the cost of eats. https://t.co/IQSLfoTIbs

Re-upping my piece with my colleague Shawn Regan on the fight over the National Park Service's climate change signs. Rather than fighting over signs, let’s actually address the environmental issues that threaten our favorite parks. https://t.co/PvOqNCXVIt
