Excellent respurces on the law and econ of the Paramount/WB deal from my friends @LawEconCenter 👇

he's been waiting over 2 decades for this moment.
TODAY: President Trump will announce a $6.6 billion shipbuilding investment at Sparrows Point Shipyard in Baltimore, MD. The White House says this will be a partnership with Anduril Industries to build a Baltimore shipyard facility focused on defense manufacturing of submarines.
WH Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly says the administration believes a "self-sustaining shipbuilding industry is necessary for national security"
A Senior Administration official describes this as one more step towards achieving the president’s goal of ‘restoring maritime dominance' over foreign competitors like China, by
adding additional maritime capacity and expanding the U.S. maritime industrial base.

Federal agencies last week issued 19 rulemakings with quantifiable economic impacts. DOT’s fuel-efficiency rule stood out as a sizable deregulatory action, while IRS rules created a spike in paperwork burdens. #WeekInReg

Higher incomes give people more choices about health care, leisure, and how they live. GDP per capita helps track the resources available to pursue those choices.

Congratulations to ME on hosting a terrific, very fun, very well attended birthday party for my 2 year old son, Henry, who as you all know, is very special. Many people say he's the best kid, and I accept that praise.

You know you have a banger win when both FTC commissioners say they wouldn't have brought the case.
The loser will end up being consumers

Attention @FreeRangeKids @JonHaidt @LetGrowOrg and others interested in better outcomes for children. Fascinating policy work from @Lura_Forcum @Julian_Morris @RBenSperry laweconcenter.org/resources/…
Hustlers. Nothing but respect over here for two people making their mark (their way) in the greatest nation on earth. You don't have to agree with everything they say to appreciate that these guys were/are both ahead of their time.

Our CEO @ckoopman has 7 kids, age 11 and under. "I think about the future they're going to live in."
A future where we cure cancer. Where every kid has a personalized education. Where knowledge that was once inaccessible is available to anyone for pennies.
"That's a world I want to live in. And all of the conversations around AI and around data centers are really about whether or not we truly want to build that world."

🚨 Data centers = JOBS.
2,300+ construction workers are already building Amazon data centers in Mississippi.
And more than 1,700 permanent jobs are expected as Amazon invests more than $20 BILLION across the state.

The story behind Data After Dark.
Our CEO Casey Given tells @SamRaus1 how he and two Young Voices alumni, @JonasYDu and @edtarnowski, came up with the idea to push back against the mainstream techno-pessimism online and instead celebrate American innovation with optimism for the future.

"If you were building a product that you truly believed had like a 10% chance of exterminating humanity... why would you continue to build it at the speed with which you're building it?"
Our CEO @ckoopman talks AI news and policy with @SutherlandInst's @nicdunnutah
"They have a strong incentive to sort of cartelize this frontier for themselves and remain the big incumbent players for a generation or generations to come"

Companies are getting tariff refunds.
Sorry folks, that's not going to show up in prices. We need to think about marginal costs.

My latest on @TOTMblog. With the second round of BEAD funding on the horizon, it is more important than ever to make sure we have infrastructure policy that doesn't hold up build. A major part of that is access to poles and conduit, as well as permitting. @LawEconCenter

And its great to hear that an deal on energy permitting was struck today; but as I wrote in our AI infrastructure series, broadband access and connectivity are critical as well. Hope that Congress can build on this effort to make sure broadband networks aren't left behind. laweconcenter.org/permitting…
