Trump tells his cabinet that things are "going very well" and that he is "very happy with the way the country is running"



Potentially weird feedback loop in the market right now market decline -> increased prob tariffs canceled -> market climb -> lower prob tariffs canceled -> market declines...


Look folks, he said that he was going to bring grocery prices down and now Apples are cheaper. What do you want from him?

New TX Exec Order: As a state employee, I'm now banned from traveling to China for work. No more fieldwork, conferences, or hiring firms there. Can't even outsource survey collection/cleaning to anyone in China. This feels like the final straw. @XiaoboLu1 @fanwangecon Thoughts?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you do not have an obligation to spend today scrolling and reading about what went wrong. It won’t change the results, and I bet you won’t find real answers. Sometimes the best response to bad things is to think about other good things.


Going to bed trying to remind myself that even though bad things out of our control happen, our job is to keep finding a way through and make good things happen where we can


Today I am thankful for our students who gave me hours of talking about research instead of doom scrolling.
