In a lab experiment, male stock traders given testosterone gel (compared to placebo) pushed prices higher. They also created bigger & longer lasting stock bubbles. The results were so large that just a glance at the graphs makes them obvious. Open access: pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.128…

Yes, Trump’s willingness to defy long-standing norms of politics and governance meant he was willing to push the envelope much further than practically any other major Republican would have in that situation https://t.co/XbmS6Dr1B4

That MAGA candidates everywhere are largely graciously conceding underscores just how much Stop The Steal was a one-man, top-down phenomenon in 2020. If Trump had conceded, even begrudgingly, it wouldn't have spun out of control. It's really that simple.

Imagine being a spy service, investing years on an asset in a big tech company, it pivots radically from its original remit, confuses senior intel officials by advertising that “legs are coming soon” or something equally impenetrable, then fires your source amid mass layoffs

Fact: RBG saved American democracy by refusing to strategically retire in 2014, leading to the end of Roe v Wade, leading to an unprecedented midterm backlash against the opposition party, leading conservatives (who don’t want to admit Dobbs is the problem) to blame Trump.

Sincere post: Trump is terrible but Republicans blaming him for this turn of events is ridiculous — he specifically tried to warn them and is obviously not the guy who on a personal level is deeply invested in this particular agenda. nytimes.com/2022/06/24/us/…
