The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

The Federal Reserve is not as independent from the executive branch as we’d like to think. The NY Fed just cancelled this Thursday’s @aeacswep.bsky.social reception at #EEA2025 and withdrew from our summer fellowship program. Both support women and underrepresented groups in economics. #EconSky

#EconSky Compare curr #disinflation to the Volcker disinflation. In the 1980s, it was all about moving along the Phillips curve to reduce #inflation (consistent with cooling down the economy via slack↑). Now, it looks like a shift ↓ of the Phillips curve (consistent with favorable supply shocks).
