Odd how this “mistake” has happened a dozen times now—on CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, has been said by Sen Kirsten Gillibrand, Rep Eric Swalwell and Rep Laura Gillen, but weirdly no other part of Mamdani’s campaign has involved similar “mistakes.” Very bad luck on Mamdani’s part I guess

I've been joking around about this, but the way you can tell the Supreme Court corruption scandal is genuinely scandalous and genuinely corrupt is by following the logic of their own jurisprudence on public corruption issues.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

The context for the increasing levels of denialism about economic data is that a bunch of key indicators have improved and we now look set to finally enjoy both full employment and wages > inflation, so rich people who want tax cuts need to make stuff up.

Fortunately, a series of Supreme Court cases has ruled that it’s not corrupt to take bribes unless you specifically say “thank you for the ongoing stream of lucrative favors, in exchange I will do some official misconduct for you” so there’s no problem here.

New Paper Alert 🚨

We estimate the returns to IRS tax audits across the income distribution. We find $1 of IRS spending on audits of top earners delivers more than $12 of tax revenue. Along the way, we provide new evidence of the strong specific deterrence effects of audits. 1/:

@MatthewKelsoDVM AHAHAHAA US FLAG CODE. What a joke

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

as Air Quality alerts were issued in 13 states last night, the 3 major networks nightly news segments on the brown smog outside people's homes didn't mention climate change once. I argue this is bad, and that climate needs to be centered in these reports https://t.co/XkLSo88Rtq

According to #UWMadison administration, they can’t (read: refuse) to expel #audreygodlewski the student in the video.
Students have organized a rally, and created a petition calling for her expulsion. If you have a minute, please consider signing:

@MatthewKelsoDVM Bro how did you not know about the blue juice

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

When poor people break the law, the law assumes malice and ill intent, when the rich and powerful break the law, the law assumes it’s a clerical error, a mistake, an oversight, and then officials politely suggest they correct their error when it’s convenient for them

[Jason Furman @jasonfurman]

I was appalled to see a leading scholar of poverty repeat the misleading claim that the poverty rate has not improved in the last 50 yrs in @nytimes.

This is only true if you look at data that ignores most our major anti-poverty programs including the EITC, SNAP and more.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

I got a check from a tech company once and it came from a bank called Silicon Valley Bank and I sort of idly thought “providing banking services to one particular industry sounds like a bad idea” and then never looked into it further.
