I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

I'm An ICU Doctor. I’m Haunted By What I’ve Seen During The Recent COVID-19 Surge.

In light of Trump’s latest tariff threats, the federal government said Canada will not be celebrating the opening of the Gordie Howe International bridge with the United States. A Canada-only celebration is expected to take place Friday and the bridge is still set to open next Monday.

Yesterday the US Administration supercharged its explicit effort to bar international students from staying in the US after graduation. All Americans should know: 1/3 of *all* STEM PhDs working in the US are immigrants who graduated from US universities, then stayed. www.piie.com/index%2Ephp/...

Regret the impact on California wine growers but CA is part of a country that has made devastating choices internationally and former allies must react accordingly. Not Canada’s business to distinguish between Kentucky and California. The tariff policy is the same. Sorry.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 4w ago

Canada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers. I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.

My particular thanks to all the young scholars I've met over the years, including those I first met as graduate students, who have encouraged me to think more deeply about the economics of gender.

It just seems that this must be a satire—that it cannot possibly be the current U.S. refugee policy. How can this be true?

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

An issue in promoting my forthcoming book. It seems like a good idea to put my (rare) posts on both Bluesky and X, since a lot of economists are still on X. I used to be active on Twitter to promote CSWEP and still have a lot of followers there. But my God—it sort of curdles your soul over there.

Great research deserves great feedback. Excited to share a new AI tool delivers publication-relevant feedback with no coding, prompting, or setup required. Eligible: Econ PhD students + faculty up to 5 years post-PhD. Access here: lse.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... @profalucas.bsky.social
