The refundable Child Tax Credit is now like immigration amnesty used to be (pre-Trump): people think a panel of 4 people all of whom are gung-ho advocates is balanced! So maybe advertisers don’t need to buy them. https://t.co/qMPOjFTIyC

The argument for sponsorship by rich advocacy outfits like Rockefeller is that it’s just like buying an ad in a magazine. But would this panel EVEN EXIST without Rockefeller sponsorship? Would @PunchbowlNews decide a CTC foe is newsworthy & panelize them even without a sponsor? https://t.co/GdnlqKVoT8

The “Maxwell Trial Tracker” was suspended by @Twitter, allegedly for “artificially” amplifying its “engagement.” https://t.co/Mra5w5GRT1 Creator of the Twitter account says people were just interested in it. I was! https://t.co/8ucQJ3nGME More post-Jack weirdness. https://t.co/yzDLv7WNvf

Of course, there was lots of money to be made (by lobbyists, think tankers, fundraisers) in being “absolutely convinced.” No money to be made in not going along with the CW — or else @SeanTrende would be rich. https://t.co/EFUu5IVTez

Thread on the failure of the National Academy of Sciences to include a work-disincentive effect in their much cited study promoting the Child Tax Credit. I don’t see how the NAS has a leg to stand on: if they include it for the EITC they should include it for the CTC, no? https://t.co/DcDlaWR5s9
