BREAKING NYT: Trump's FBI just raided the office state Sen. L. Louise Lucas, the president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate and one of the most powerful Democrats in the state. Lucas played a key role in the congressional redistricting fight that Democrats won.

Firms give lower scores to candidates following a white man, a new form of indirect bias. In the March issue, by Judd B. Kessler @juddkessler Corinne Low @femonomics.bsky.social and Xiaoyue Shan @_XiaoyueShan_ zurl.co/RlYjp

@gloquenzi Si è anche formata l’internazionale del “gas russo first”, in una riedizione strepitosa del governo giallo-verde, con Salvini e Conte che recitano battute di Lavrov a tutta rete.

3. And a "blasphemous/radical" take: randomly select projects from the top-N%! @ERC_Research

Project-based funding burdens the whole ecosystem: applicants, administrators, and referees. The time (and money) lost is beyond acceptable. If we are to keep it, a modified lottery would likely be less biased, fairer, and more efficient: doi.org/10.1128/mBio.0…

@valfromrome In realtà no. Poteva prevedersi al limite il sorpasso economico, per meri motivi dimensionali, ma quello politico no. La centralità politica la crei anche, e forse soprattutto, con reputazione, rule of law, credibilità, stabilità.

Loss upon loss upon loss for MAGA. And when you’re losing so much you lose one other thing- the fear you had instilled in other politicians, the media, universities and business.

Sembra che il gerrymandering di Orban gli si sia ritorto contro. Aveva disegnato i collegi uninominali per vincere di poco, ma con l'opposizione così forte li sta perdendo sostanzialmente tutti.

The EU right now.

Ma dormite @ellyesse? Stanno affossando l’industria strategica militare europea

Let's be fair here. @JDVance initially doesn't recognize the Cardinal's name, but once told he was the Vatican's ambassador to the US, he says he knows him and they've met. Of course they've met, he lived across the street.

You know everything’s going great when you start lecturing the Pope.

I’m sorry - the Pentagon threatened the Catholic Church, currently led by the first American pope??

"Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned the Holy See’s then-ambassador to the U.S., Cardinal Christophe Pierre, to the Pentagon. The meeting may be unprecedented in the history of relations between the two countries—there is no public evidence of any Vatican official ever taking a meeting at the Pentagon. According to both Vatican and U.S. officials briefed on the meeting, Pentagon brass picked apart the pontiff’s January speech, reading it as a hostile message directed at Trump’s policies. What particularly enraged the Pentagon, one Vatican official said, was the passage in which Leo appeared to challenge the Donroe Doctrine—Trump’s update of the Monroe Doctrine, which asserts unchallenged American dominion over the Western Hemisphere."

Victor Orbán’s minister offered Sergey Lavrov to send him EU documents through the Hungarian embassy in Moscow. It’s really beyond shocking.

The threat of NATO’s break-up, easing sanctions on Russia, a massive energy crisis in Europe, halting aid for Ukraine and blocking the loan for Kyiv by Orbán - it all looks like Putin’s dream plan.

La segnalazione di un paese europeo impone la misura mentre il mandato d’arresto della corte penale internazionale no. Questo governo sta passando dal ridicolo al pericoloso.

Today we released our new NBER working paper: "Easy A's, Less Pay: The Long-Term Effects of Grade Inflation." Joint work with Rachel Nesbit, Nolan Pope, and Merrill Warnick. Grades in U.S. high schools have risen steadily over the past several decades, but the effect is unknown

Appena uscito su ECO un articolo in cui Silvia Balia e io analizziamo le liste d’attesa nella sanità italiana, il loro peggioramento dopo il Covid e il legame, molto preoccupante, con la rinuncia alle cure. Usando dati sui ricoveri programmati tra il 2018 e il 2023, mostriamo che ci sono grandi differenze tra regioni, che non seguono semplicemente il classico schema Nord-Sud. Mostriamo anche che spendere di più in sanità non significa automaticamente avere tempi d’attesa più brevi: conta molto anche come le risorse vengono organizzate e utilizzate. rivistaeco.com/2026/03/13/qua…
