It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?   Negotiating a budget deal? No.   Preventing premiums from doubling? No.   Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.   He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.   America first?

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.  The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees. Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

Great coverage of my new paper with Jeremy Fiel @ricesocsci.bsky.social in @edweek.org www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

New paper with Jeremy Fiel @ricesocsci.bsky.social. We find school finance reforms reduced inequality of school funding by income, but did not reduce inequality by race/ethnicity and in some cases increased funding inequality by race/ethnicity. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/...

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

A breath of fresh air...

Two new papers on when and how school spending matters. With fabulous co-authors @greermellon.bsky.social @susannaloeb.bsky.social Now if only the federal govt would fund schools appropriately... journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

Women receive more than 3x more service requests at work than men. AND colleagues view them more negatively if they say no. More than forcing victims to say "no", orgs need to compensate equally for actual work and ensure equal service requests.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."

The most bizarre thing about the COVID School Closure Discourse is how commentators take it for granted that closing schools had no effect on transmission or deaths but that's not at all what the evidence says.

Draft claims there is "lack of consistent evidence" that school spending improves achievement. Que? #schoolfinance Please submit feedback based on existing evidence - scroll to the end for feedback form. livehandbook.org/k-12-educati...

Pregnancy is a particularly sensitive period, & exposure to wildfire smoke may lead to smaller than average babies. Smoke isn’t the only concern, stress alone can alter physiological processes during pregnancy. www.latimes.com/lifestyle/st...

I hope everyone in LA stays safe. And for pregnant women, I also hope for calm and recuperation. Wildfire exposure reduces infant health, especially for mothers with low SES, and it seems mostly due to stress. doi.org/10.7758/RSF....
