- This is how workers defend themselves AND their jobs. @uaw.org
- This is just not true. The majority view among researchers at this point is that work requirements do not work. There is a reason they do not cite a single study here.
- RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz are wrong. Work requirements don't work. They have little effect on labor force participation. They do work, if your goal is to make sure people can't get access to services because of administrative burdens. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/get-in-los...

- I wrote a good news story this week that has nothing to do with Donald Trump (except in so far as he might be about to wreck it). It made me a lot happier. Violent crime is falling across America - and especially fast in the place I reported from, Baltimore: www.economist.com/united-state...

- the text of the constitution, the legislative record, the common understanding — literally all available evidence points to a single conclusion, which is why the hacks defending trump’s order have had to turn to unrelated esoteria to make their argument
- political journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”
- whenever i travel to speak to audiences — in places as different as green bay, wisconsin and durham, north carolina — i get more questions about why the media won’t call a spade a spade with trump, than i do about biden being old
- and honestly, the obsession over “we should have said more about biden being old” starts to grate when the currently serving president is very obviously impaired by age and cognitive decline, to crickets from the press
