FYI, Ben Affleck and I will be on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire tomorrow, again, preceded by the inimitable duo of Matt Damon and @kenjennings.bsky.social. Twice the pride, double the fall, starting at 8 p.m. EDT, only on ABC!
Juxtaposed stills of Matt Damon (top) and Ben Affleck (bottom) playing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, with "Back-to-Back" superimposed between the two stills. Still of a bearded Matt Damon on the set of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, looking toward host Jimmy Kimmel (off camera to the right). "Matt Damon" is superimposed on the image and a caption (quoting the narration) says, "First, Matt Damon takes the hot seat." Ken Jennings's hand is visible on the left, pointing at his partner, Matt Damon. Still of a not-as-bearded Ben Affleck on the set of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, looking toward the monitor that displays the questions. A caption (quoting Affleck) says, "All right." My hand is visible on the left in the process of completing a solidaristic shoulder pat on my partner, Ben Affleck.

This Day in Labor History: May 6, 1882. President Chester Alan Arthur signed the Chinese Exclusion Act. Although not often seen by the general public as part of our labor history, the Chinese Exclusion Act was the first legislative victory for organized labor in this country. Sad, but true.

New Jersey's 23-game Jeopardy champion Jamie Ding is more than a self-described faceless bureaucrat. He allocates Low-Income Housing Tax Credits ("LIHTC") to fund affordable housing construction across New Jersey.

We used his historic run to explain LIHTC!
