The average life expectancy in the U.S. has increased by 10 years since 1960 due to vaccines, and better disease prevention, diagnosis, and management. This increased lifespan would quite obviously carry with it a higher rate of chronic disease diagnosis. But RFK Jr. thinks it’s seed oils.

It is absolutely fucking bonkers that Trump won more of the vote than he ever had less than half a year ago and now he is less popular than he’s ever been, all on the strength of shit he was promising loudly to do when people elected him.

Alarming new study in JAMA modeling measles in the US: If we stay at CURRENT vaccination rates, measles will become endemic again over roughly 20 years. If rates drop by even 10 percent (and they're sliding), there would be 11 MILLION cases over the next 25 years. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Do traders have Stockholm Syndrome? Rally today appears based on WSJ report that we might have "only" 50-65% tariff on Chinese goods. That's still a huge effing tariff - roughly triple the average effective tariff rate on China last year. US companies still don't have margins to absorb this

We survived with no income tax because federal spending (%GDP) was 90% smaller - basically a small military, some veterans pensions, and post offices. Oh, that 1890 tariff was followed by the 1893 depression. And 1913 real per capita GDP was just 1/15 today's level. Otherwise, right on. 🙄

Trump clearly has no clue about what happened in 2014. ”Without a shot being fired” 🤮 Has he ever questioned the legitimacy of Russia invading another country? No. And it is easier to blame Obama than solving the problem. And btw boasting - isn’t Trump like the uncrowned king of boasting?

A good way to boost American manufacturing would be for Musk to focus on his car company rather than on destroying American government.

👇🎯 Again, your periodic reminders that it is not the 1950s anymore, the median voter works in the nontradable services sector, therefore she experiences international trade <only> as a consumer, the balance of payments has two sides, & the mercantilism is just going to make everyone a lot poorer.

How Tariffs Affect Trade Deficits... ... a new paper with amazing trade economist Arnaud Costinot. Many politicians and the general public expect tariffs to reduce imports lower imports and thus work to close a trade deficit. Economists typically say "not so fast"... 🧵1/n

If he’s a criminal, he still has a right to due process where the government actually has to prove he committed these crimes. If he’s not (which seems much more likely), then we sent a man with legal status to a gulag for no reason. Both are bad!

This guy blames the Biden admin for “not enforcing” the phase 1 trade deal with China, but that’s untrue. The Chinese did not meet their import commitments when Trump was in office (in 2020) and Biden didn’t remove Trump’s tariffs on China.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is a crime. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/
