This is a big deal for me and, as I've said a thousand times on here, I think the doomer-narrative of nothing being a win bc Trump and his people lie and cheat is dangerous. They lose. A lot. And rightfully so because they're doing illegal things. And taking those wins is important for democracy.

A new IWPR report confirms that college-educated Black women are more likely to lead in government than in companies. Which is why the DOGE cuts that slashed federal jobs have been particularly devastating for college-educated Black women. #blacksky

Apropos of claims being made on the other site about minimum wage effects on jobs. I encourage you to look at our work on the own-wage elasticity (OWE). Most studies suggest effects that are either positive or small negative, where magnitudes are economically interpretable. 1/

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

I want to draw attention to this as often as I can - not only is this *action* terrible, the intention behind it is to consolidate power and eliminate the three branches of government. The courts are already severely compromised. The power of the purse belongs to Congress.

A question worth asking: If a president repeatedly violates the Constitution, and enough members of his own party knowingly refuse to use their constitutional powers to restrain him, when does that stop being one president’s failure—and become a crisis of the party’s constitutional legitimacy?
