Again, the platform must be institutional reform, & it needs to be immediately ready to go in Jan 2029. Popularism is a category error in the face of far right authoritarianism. The policies follow from restoring democracy & the rule of law & fixing the broken institutions, not the other way around.

Something we were never able to figure out just throwing causal forests at the problem was how to go from “here’s some effect heterogeneity” to actually valid statistical inference on some QOI and it turns out the answer is just do the logit.

The DML stuff makes the “magic” of flexible regression work but the real trick here is getting researchers to acknowledge they’re targeting some sort of structural model parameter

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

I saw a comedian say: after 10 months, he hasn't figured out what "tariffs" are. Bottom line: US tariffs are essentially sales taxes on lower-income and retired Americans. The explicit goal+mechanism of tariffs is to force those people to pay more for the same products. doi.org/10.1111/iere...

there’s a lot of talk about big tech and corporations but so many international academic colleagues are also on H1Bs. no university is going to pay 100k extra a year to keep them. if this holds, it would essentially mean the end of foreigners on tenure track jobs at US universities.
