Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.

February 27th, 2026: TORONTO IS STILL WET AND MY COMPL . A classic textbook example of the ‘Table 2 Fallacy’ in economics arises when estimating the return to education and misinterpreting regression coefficients. Suppose an economist wishes to estimate the causal effect of an additional year of schooling on earnings and estimates If the estimated coefficient is small and statistically insignificant, the economist might conclude […]

We see workplaces on our televisions each and every night. Rarely, however, do we see much about the process of work that goes on there or people’s collective experience of it. Staff relations, let alone industrial relations, barely get a look in. Consequently, we never get near a full and truthful depiction of work. Granted, […] The Supreme Court ruled Trump’s tariffs illegal. Now comes the messy question: Who will pay — and who gets paid back?
I have been thinking about the recent inflation trajectory in Japan in the light of constant calls from mainstream economists (including a bevy of private bank economists who work for institutions that benefit from interest rate hikes) for the Bank of Japan to hike rates. What is driving CPI movements? What has been the impact…
