G. Elliott Morris: Republicans could stop this at any time they wanted to.
“All it would take ….is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.”

Yes, but it should give you pause that the approval rating in his first and second term are similar and he was *re-elected*. The implication that ppl wish to draw is that similar policies and approaches by a MAGA candidate will not be supported in the next election. Wrong! So misguided…
Donald Trump’s year-in approval rating is lower than that of any president in the last 5 decades. It’s even lower than Biden’s approval rating when he left office.

imagine thinking people liked car insurance companies and wanted them to involved in a much bigger aspect of their lives
Scalise: "Everybody complains, 'Why when I watch TV do I see this Gecko lizard & emu & all these animals out there selling car insurance & homeowners insurance? Why aren't they selling healthcare?' That's bc federal laws prohibit people to have choices for lower cost products for health insurance"

An official directive to change from Calibri back to Times New Roman is a move to undo initiatives to make information more accessible for low vision people. It’s just gross.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said today that while the stock market has done well this year, a better economy is going to “start flowing through to working Americans next year.”..Oh! My bad! I thought they said “on day one” or something like that. I must have misunderstood.

This is a great example of taking something we thought we understood, and looking closer! I always thought education could buffer more...but it does not appear so.
Generational differences in how wage disparities develop over workers' careers help account for the stalled progress toward gender pay equality in the US, say researchers at @ucl.ac.uk, the University of Chicago, and the University of Kentucky. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/cha...

Good to document and congrats on the pub! I agree - every woman knows this. But I’m also sure you had a hell of a time getting it past the referees.
This is something every woman already knows. The big question is will this change any man's behavior? It will require a level of self awareness, that is sadly lacking.

While there are many differences across each higher ed institution, I think it’s fair to say that many would characterize their past year w similar “unprecedented” challenges and their futures as extremely challenging and necessitating significant reprioritizing of spend. I wish it weren’t so.

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.
Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Goodall’s passing hit me hard. A mighty force of her own, pushing humanity to be better. Public goods provision must feel hopeless to the individual - Goodall urges us to keep on. But Yeats captures the moment for me. I am hanging on to Goodall for direction and energy while the beast slouches on.

Instead of blubbering and mumbling about some GOP members and Mike Johnson, why is this Democrat not announcing, full-throated, that the GOP controls the House, the Senate, the Oval Office and the Judiciary- and the shutdown is their fault.

Austria hails 'brain gain' in luring 25 academics away from US after cuts
Austria has lured what it calls 25 "top researchers" away from U.S. institutions including Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton with grants set up in response to the Trump administration's funding cuts targeting universities.
