Evidence suggests that (D) versus (R) had a statistically significant impact on their electoral success, but (h) versus (k) did not.

Just throwing this out there (updated edition, in stores now)

[Gregory Zuckerman @GZuckerman]

Very efficient market last couple of days.

In case you missed it this weekend:

The Kean family name has become synonymous in NJ with a certain style of genteel, old-school Republican politics. Trump could be its downfall.

Very exciting to update this chart with the 2025 data!

Millennials at age 40 have about 60% more real net worth than Boomers did at age 40, and almost 100 percent more than Gen X

[Justin Fox @foxjust]

@klhoughton partly, yes, although it's not clear if the actual denominator got smaller or just the denominator as measured by the BLS because some immigrants are avoiding the Current Population Survey

[Justin Fox @foxjust]

Well will you look at that https://t.co/lOozKM9iEl

[Bloomberg Opinion @opinion]

These are not the best of labor-market times for men or native-born Americans, who @foxjust notes were exactly the people Trump's policies were supposed to help https://t.co/f7Xodms53U

Shoutout to my parents for making sure the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Harlem Heights was commemorated with the appropriate gravitas and style

The 2025 American Community Survey should have come out today. But it has been delayed because of unusual political encroachment at Census.
ACS drives business and policy decisions, especially in local communities, and is the primary input to Census’s immigration estimates.

@harpia4 @business @opinion It's one of the reasons he gets so much attention

[Justin Fox @foxjust]

Nearly 20% of US "news analysts, reporters and journalists" are in the New York and DC metro areas, up from a little over 10% a quarter century ago. Gift link: https://t.co/tvK4FIeu54

@nolelifestyle @KordellCaldwell @CFBKnights No, but I'm confident that what Howard meant is "foreigners [or] aliens who belong to the families of embassadors ..." That's clear from the surrounding debate. It's just the punctuation used by whoever transcribed the speech for the Congressional Globe that makes it ambiguous

[Justin Fox @foxjust]

@nolelifestyle @KordellCaldwell @CFBKnights Read the rest of my thread. @KordellCaldwell is correct

[Joey Fox @joeymdfox]

Alright, now it’s official: super excited to be joining the Politico NJ team later this month!

The book is still in print, while Diedrich Knickerbocker, well, a team of his namesakes is playing the Spurs tonight. Gift link to my column about all this: https://t.co/A3Kgelspko

[Justin Fox @foxjust]

Where it all began for the Knicks (New-York Evening Post, Oct. 26, 1809)

[Justin Fox @foxjust]

This was the beginning of the publicity campaign for Washington Irving's "A History of New York, From the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty." Diedrich Knickerbocker (who didn't exist) was listed as the author.

Tech is not the underdog anymore. It is the dominant global industry and the central cultural force of our time, as @lessin has pointed out.

To work in tech today, in the broad macro sense, is no longer inherently rebellious. It is often the act of someone joining the societally dominant consensus.

Within tech, of course, there are still relative Davids and Goliaths. Seed-stage startups, Fund 1 VCs, boutique law firms, and upstart service providers are still the pirates. Big Tech, Big VC, Big Law, Big Anything are the navy.

So if you work at Google, Sequoia, or Cooley, you are working in the dominant industry in society at the *macro* level, and at a dominant, safe institution at the *micro* level. That is two layers of establishment safety!

And yet many people in Big Tech and Big VC still narrate themselves as rebels. As entrepreneurs. They feel misunderstood by the media, by Washington, by the system.

But this is mostly self-flattering mythology.

I will say that, as ever, it is more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy...

But "beerflation" has actually been falling https://t.co/gW42ksTdwJ

[Global_Macro @Marcomadness2]

"Beerflation" as food and menu prices are rising due to the energy/fertilizer shock
