Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled β€œU.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

β€œImminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

In his remarks, John Williams cited the research from NY Fed economists that led Kevin Hassett to call for the researchers to be "disciplined."

Williams told reporters afterward that the research was "incredibly well done" and "incredibly important."

Trump again claimed he brought in $18T in foreign investment in the US. No idea where that number comes from -- BEA hasn't released FDI data for 2025 yet -- but it seems pretty implausible. For context that more than half the size of the ENTIRE US economy (~$31T)

Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%).
But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

Imagine the top 5s if I’d been doing RCTs all these years.

It’s not really a RCT as claimed tho, right? It’s an online survey with information treatments.
