Some president should really try to get Justin to be their CEA chair. He's a well regarded, broad researcher, a clear thinker, a fun and upstanding person, and really the best video communicator of economics in the profession.

The U.S. Constitution's First Amendment defines the right of all people in America to speak freely. It legally bars the federal govt from acting against anyone based on their speech. Our executive is attacking 1st Amendment rights. American courts, congress, & people can defend them.

President Trump has taken an extraordinary and dangerous step of firing two FTC Commissioners. This is a dramatic ratcheting up of the politicization of the agency--the opposite of the direction it should be going in.
