Ezra and I had the same thought during this ad. 🫤

Yes. We took a lot for granted as Bethesda kids in the 80s / 90s. So much has been lost!

This is so depressing. The Kennedy Center, the Washington Post, USAID, Voice of America… the casualties of DC institutions just keep growing. (Not to mention the White House East Wing)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

This is my story too. So shameful.
I grew up in the Maryland suburbs of DC; the WaPo arrived at our house every morning, and I read it from the time I was in elementary school. The destruction of an institution with such a storied history by its dilettante owner is a true shame.
When I was a DC intern, one of the greatest privileges I had was being able to put a quarter in a vending machine and get an entire Washington Post—a great institution with a distinctive voice. Later, I was privileged to write for it. I’m sad now.

Same!

Never forget. “I am not a cat”
Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate cat attorneys.

Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate cat attorneys.
Attention fellow health insurance scholars! TODAY is the last day to submit to @jhppl.bsky.social's special issue on The Politics of Private Health Insurance, which @adrianna.bsky.social and I are co-editing. Whether you have a research article or commentary, be sure to get your submission in today!

Rumor has it today is the last day of the month. But, you know, I’m not counting on it.

It will go down in history as the longest and saddest month. 56ish days of bad.

A statement from Sahan Journal, Minnesota Star Tribune, Minnesota Public Radio, Minnesota Reformer, Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association:
The Minnesota Star Tribune, @mprnews.org @minnesotareformer.com , @spokesmanrecorder.bsky.social, @sahanjournal.bsky.social, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement:

The role of moms in Minneapolis organizing needs to be discussed more (here’s one example). www.vogue.com/article/moms...
Moms Are Organizing Against ICE in Their Group Chats
Mom groups have been a hot topic in 2026. But instead of interpersonal drama, these moms are focused on grassroots organizing, information sharing, and mutual aid.

Thank you.
Wife and I in tears reading this…

Can confirm that Minnesotan cats are tough and love snow

Thank you to my alma mater’s president for writing this. Will other higher education leaders follow his lead?
"We should bear witness to the brutality and demand that our government protect our freedoms—not crush them with armed, masked men who think they can act with impunity. As people who have chosen learning, it’s the least we can do." —Wesleyan University President @msroth.bsky.social on Minneapolis
Minneapolis is Now Ground Zero for Our Democracy

Thank you, Boston.
Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

I’m so sorry
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

My favorite picture from today. If you zoom into the yellow sign on the bottom it says “The weather is brutal. ICE is worse”. Proud to stand with so many Minnesotans.

Next month, the AcademyHealth Health Economics Interest Group is hosting a webinar on navigating the job market for health economists. Here about what hiring committees look for when evaluating candidates. Also probably helpful for non-economists!
