The obscenity (and the menace to Jews) of these officials pretending any of this police state assault on our constitutional order has anything to do with concern about antisemitism is off the charts. Just diabolical.

Wisconsin's farmers have been the backbone of our state for generations, and Trump's whiplash on reckless tariff taxes and trade wars are going to crush them. I'm urging Republicans in Congress to stand up for Wisconsin farmers and put an end to the chaos. www.wisn.com/article/a-wh...

My latest. On the way antisemitism has become redefined as support for Palestinian life. And how that has led to the supposed fight against antisemitism becoming bigotry itself. And how that, then, has led to the failure to fight actual antisemitism in our midst, endangering Jews along the way.
open.substack.com
We Can’t Fight Antisemitism Without Fighting Anti-Palestinian Hate
Antisemitism is the main tool the Trump administration is using to stifle dissent and target Palestinians. It’s rooted in bigotry. And it’s harming the fight against antisemitism itself.

Open access article from the latest issue: “Information Rigidities and Farmland Value Expectations” by Chad Fiechter, Todd Kuethe and Wendong Zhang. le.uwpress.org/content/101/2/218
Abstract: This article examines the degree to which information inefficiency influences farmland price expectations. Using expectations and observed values of Iowa farmland from 1964 to 2021 and the empirical test of Coibion and Gorodnichenko (2015), we estimate the degree to which information rigidities hold explanatory power for information inefficiency. Our results suggest that Iowa farmland professionals infrequently update their information set or underweight new information. This article provides a necessary step toward a better understanding of the role of information in farmland market efficiency, furthering the discussion of development of additional public information in farmland markets.

One aspect of Trump’s antisemitism fig leaf I haven’t seen discussed: if you’re a Jewish student who DOES experience antisemitism, but doesn’t want to blow up your college or get your classmates deported, you basically have no choice but to stay quiet and suffer in silence. Trump did that.

"It's time that Congress restores its authorities" on tariffs, says Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) on FTN. "The Constitution is clear: The House and the Senate, Congress, has the power of tariffs and taxes. And we gave some of that power to the executive branch. And I think in hindsight that was a mistake."
