“To find what makes people more or less likely to be tolerant, we can look through various traits in our data — things like age, race, or education — and make charts showing how much evidence each trait provides that someone thinks that controversial speakers should be allowed to speak. Loosely, that’s how much each trait correlates with being tolerant.” (11/04/25)

“When politicians talk tough on trade, they usually promise to protect American jobs. But sometimes those gestures do the opposite. The Trump administration’s proposed 100 percent tariff on large cigars imported from Nicaragua is a case in point. According to my latest research, the tariff would shrink US GDP by $1.26 billion, reduce total output by $2.06 billion, eliminate nearly 18,000 jobs, and cost state and local governments $95 million in tax revenue. There is no domestic industry to protect. The United States produces almost no large cigars …. Over the past year, US regulators have exhibited a kind of policy whiplash — swinging between deregulation and sudden restriction with no coherent principle in sight.” (11/04/25)

“The Department of Transportation (DOT) is selling its recently announced restrictions on “non-domiciled” truck drivers as an emergency measure. In reality, they’re an immigration crackdown. By sharply limiting which foreign-born workers can hold commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs), the DOT will push nearly 200,000 legally authorized drivers off the road, gutting an industry already facing severe labor shortages — all under the guise of highway safety.” (11/04/25)
