Hate speech against my tribe will be punished. Hate speech against your tribe will receive Presidential honors. Isn't that what America is all about?
This chart is *probably* misleading. The NYT should do better. Why? Significant demographic changes sit beneath these lines. It's essential to control for age and population shares in each category.

So refreshing that MSM is letting Justin Wolfers provide real information instead of the usual he-said, she-said nonsense that fills the airwaves.

Most of this is CA and not Trump related. Still, Trump policies will drive electricity prices higher everywhere. People won’t like it but energy interests of many stripes will like it.

Not sure if it's obvious how bananas this is. The usual tariff argument is that it helps producers and hurts consumers (by more). But Trump's tariffs don't even help (most) producers. It's genuinely difficult to design a tariff regime that helps less than 4% of manufacturers!

Many news stories this year have suggested that America is pivoting away from renewables and towards natural gas power. But the data tells a more nuanced story. Renewables make up 90% of proposed power projects in Texas this year vs. 10% from gas. 🧵
Something remarkable just happened in Pakistan. In only 8 months, citizens built the equivalent of half the country’s national electric grid, without waiting for government or utilities. How? ☀️ Cheap solar panels ☀️ TikTok tutorials showing how to install them ☀️ Farmers…
It's almost too perfect when the only "analyst" supporting EJ Antoni can't even read a pie chart correctly.

I understand why Trump wants a command and control economy with him at the center. What is confusing to me is why the entire Republican party is so willing to walk away from a competitive, market-based economy.
New from @GoldmanSachs Global Institute: "The prevailing narrative frames AI as an energy apocalypse that will overwhelm our electrical grid. We argue the opposite: AI datacenters can become grid assets, unlocking massive capacity currently constrained by outdated peak-demand…

I don’t think I have ever publicly criticized any Presidential nominee before. But E.J. Antoni is completely unqualified to be BLS Commissioner. He is an extreme partisan and does not have any relevant expertise. He would be a break from decades of nonpartisan technocrats.
