Seriously deep cut

This administration’s economic policy:

You've heard me talk about it. You've seen me write about it. And now it's your chance to pre-order my forthcoming book Coverage Denied! Combining survey & administrative data with extensive interviews, my book highlights the harms caused by coverage barriers. Hope you'll read it! cup.org/4nfM2IM

A new senate report is full of *shocking* details about DOGE activities inside the federal government. Including, unfortunately, the disturbing access that DOGE affiliates had to our SSNs: "One whistleblower noted the possibility that the agency may need to re-issue SSNs to all who possess one."

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

“We got so lucky to follow such an inspiring group of students. Their journey is an excellent snapshot of how rewarding the ethics bowl experience can be.”

In the Post (& elsewhere), Energy Secretary Wright continues to get basic facts wrong. He claims “We’ve been talking about ‘electrify everything’ for a while. Today, 15 percent of energy in manufacturing comes from electricity, same as it was 25 years ago.” False. Here's the real global data.

Really cool TT job for a scholar studying issues at the intersection of education, the environment, and sustainability. Very excited to see this type of job ad in the wild!

"... Zeldin intends to sign off next week on the final policy and legal justifications for repealing the so-called endangerment finding and Biden-era climate rules for cars and trucks... before agency staff have time to sift through all public comments...." subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Here's a key bit from this great podcast ep on the US electricity crisis, all of which is worth your time. (Sorry @costasamaras.com and @chrislhayes.bsky.social, I listen to podcasts at >2x and I just couldn't stomach going any slower than 1.5x with this clip 🐢🐢🐢)

Wisconsin winters are radically different from what they once were. One sign of this is that my neighbor, who races ice boats, is now converting his boat's runners to wheels so that he can race on dried lake beds in Nevada, instead.

This was great!

This is my favorite place on this magnificent planet and I am furious.

We ordered pizza for a student event today and it arrived very early. The dept member who placed the order texted me, "If they are given a delivery time, why do they do this?!" I replied by sending along the vendor's signage.

nope

“They pump so much stuff into those beautiful little babies”

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Given that Tylenol is literally the only OTC pain reliever that can be used by most pregnant people and it’s the easiest on the stomach is just part of the cruelty.

Just saw The Natural on the big screen. Decent flick, but it’s no Hoosiers.

I have to keep this deliberately vague, but this is a total disaster for academic research. And imposing it so suddenly is just cruel. I’ve got friends scrambling to get back to the US before midnight tonight. Do you know how hard that is to do on 36 hours of notice?

What are the most important new ideas in normative ethics from this century?

On behalf of our 85+ experts, @andrewdessler.com and I submitted a minor update to the experts’ review as a comment on EPA’s proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding. This version includes a new cover letter that walks through all the science EPA gets wrong.

I’m just an unfrozen caveman lawyer but I’m proud to have surmised from your news this week that your First Amendment is the one that allows all the guns.

They reversed the confusing VFC vote that would have preserved MMRV coverage for kids <4. But contrary to how the chair described the effect of this new vote, it really just means that VFC-eligible families of <4 kids won’t have free access to MMRV (which they no longer recommend) even if desired.

And they are starting today’s meeting by cleaning up this mess from yesterday. Not a surprise.

Really a shame that I've registered for this 3 times but never get sent the followup email with access info. If someone has a join link, please DM me.

Excellent coverage of our study out today on climate impacts on wildfire smoke and related health impacts.

@adrianna.bsky.social just realized tomorrow it will be 8 years since the Kimmel/Cassidy dustup. send tweet

Hate to be a logic professor but these Kimmel remarks entail/imply nothing at all about what (Kimmel believed) Kirk’s killer might himself have believed. They’re about how others reacted. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

noting grimly that with the boating drone strikes we have definitively arrived at "how bad is extrajudicial killing, really?" but I continue to find it really strange that they did "children having cancer and communicable diseases is fine actually" first

Reports of the death of carbon pricing greatly exaggerated

Their big conclusion. This is the exact opposite of the conclusion of the DOE CWG report.

Happening now. Andrew is live-skeeting 👇

I watched this part of the hearing and lol wut there's not actually a recording? And if there is a recording lol wut there's a recording? Let's hear it.

Everyone loves to hate insurers; imagine making ~AHIP~ come across as the good guy

This thread gives context to the order Monday from @govevers.wisconsin.gov to guarantee vaccine access & the #WisconsinDHS order Tuesday recommending the #Covid19 vaccine for ppl 6 monsh and older -- contrary to the federal reversal under RFKJr.
