There’s an effort underway to roll back Minnesota’s ban on noncompetes. These carve-outs would block healthcare workers & others from freely switching jobs. Important for MN lawmakers & Governor Tim Walz to reject this effort. A snapshot of how noncompetes have harmed Minnesotans:

The Florida CHOICE Act would reduce entrepreneurship, job creation, and wages for Florida residents and make the state less competitive. Economic Innovation Group R Street Institute Center For American Entrepreneurship Florida NELA sent a letter to Ron DeSantis urging him to veto this bill. floridaphoenix.com/2025/05/19/coa…

New op-ed from my colleague Sam Peak on Florida's CHOICE Act, which would broaden the use of noncompete agreements. Ron DeSantis should veto this bill.

I urge Ron DeSantis to veto the CHOICE Act. The bill would allow employers to issue noncompetes against their workers for as long as 4 years. Noncompetes lower wages, reduce the quality of patents, and slow down the creation of jobs and startups. sun-sentinel.com/2025/06/01/flo…

Florida’s CHOICE Act is a misnomer. By expanding noncompetes, it would limit choice for the Sunshine State’s workers and entrepreneurs. EIG and a growing coalition are calling on Governor DeSantis to veto the bill. eig.org/eig-urges-gove…

The math is incredibly simple. And yet, the unforced policy errors continue.

The most damning sentence in this entire article.

I'm troubled by my colleague's remarks about this morning's Sikh prayer, which have since been deleted. Throughout the country—and in the Central Valley— Sikh-Americans are valued and respected members of our communities, yet they continue to face harassment and discrimination.

This week, an op-ed in the NYT raised an interesting new critique of the Opportunity Zones incentive: it’s working in high-poverty areas ... but mainly ones that were already showing some signs of progress. A response thread…

Really great Ezra Klein piece out this morning on the liberal vs populist theories of power.

This is such a damning indictment of blue city governance. Of course there is a backlash to things like spending >$1 million per unit of affordable housing. Taxpayers are getting totally ripped off.
