Yes, but treatment effect heterogeneity determines how well we can learn an average effect (so it seems worthy of thinking of and perhaps modeling).

This is nuts.

Yesterday in the Comey hearing, prosecutors *repeatedly* confirmed that the full grand jury never saw or voted on the two-count indictment.

Now they’re claiming the grand jury *did* vote on it.
The government respectfully submits this supplemental filing to correct the record regarding statements during the hearing held on November 19, 2025, before U.S. District Court Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff, suggesting an issue with the grand jury voting process on the indictment returned in Case No. 1:25-CR-272-MSN. The official transcript of the September 25, 2025, proceedings before Magistrate Judge Vaala conclusively refutes that claim and establishes that the grand jury voted on - and true-billed - the two-count indictment. I. The Court and the Foreperson Confirmed the Vote on the Two-Count Indictment The transcript contains the following direct exchange between the Court and the grand jury foreperson: THE COURT: Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. 10 So you voted on the one that has the two counts? 11 THE FOREPERSON: Yes. See Transcript, Dkt No, 10, attached as Exhibit "A" at 4. This sworn testimony alone establishes that the grand jury voted on the two-count

Here's what worries the Fed (and me!): The unemployment rate is slowly drifting up. This is a clear sign of an unhealthy economy. And it's happening slowly enough that it hasn't attracted many headlines. But it really matters.

Waller’s right.
Inflation (ex-tariffs) is near target; expectations anchored. Job creation has stalled, revisions show the weakness. Vacancies, quits, hiring—down. Most households are stressed. Staying restrictive now would hit workers least able to absorb it. A December cut is the responsible move.
Speech by Governor Waller on the economic outlook

MEISELAS: “If the Epstein files had all this evidence that showed Trump was completely innocent guy, but that it actually incriminated all of these Democrats, Donald Trump would be the first person to say, "Let's release those Epstein files."

Megyn Kelly and Batya Ungar-Sargon’s claim that “no actual crimes were committed by anyone” in the Epstein case isn’t just false, it erases documented victims and years of criminal findings.

🚨 NEW: More Republicans are quietly telling Rep Thomas Massie they plan to vote to release the files, and he predicts this could snowball.

“Trump will protect you… if you vote to cover up for pedophiles… but… this vote is going to be on your record longer than Trump is going to be president.”

ROUGH: 1st thing the judge considering disqualifying Trump pick Lindsay Halligan as top federal prosecutor in EDVA asked at hearing today was whether defense had been given copies of career prosecutors' memo explaining why the case shouldn't be prosecuted www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Judge appears skeptical of Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as interim US attorney
A ruling against Halligan could threaten the cases she brought against James Comey and Letitia James.
