Bobby is a must-follow progressive budget wonk.
House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

Matt Yglesias wonk thought is destroying countries
If the objective of being tough on immigration was for Labour to be perceived as more right-wing & nativist, the strategy worked.
❌ Labour was seen as more anti-immigration & more right-wing
❌Immigration became more salient as an issue
❌ But Labour’s perceived competence on immigration fell.

No economist, Wall Street investor, policy wonk, or even undergrad econ student believes growth stops inflation — not even the cranks.
Trump: "Growth stops inflation. They ought to go back to the old system. When we have good numbers, the market ought to go up, not go down."

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.
It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.
