If ACIP chooses to ignore evidence, when it comes to vaccines, parents and clinicians must ignore ACIP and look to those who continue to offer data-based guidance, especially our medical societies.

In voting to eliminate the universal birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, ACIP ignored decades of evidence confirming its strong safety profile and effectiveness. Its decision will result in more hepatitis B infections and more people with chronic liver disease.

Today is the 65th anniversary of the day U.S. marshals escorted four Black 1st graders into segregated New Orleans schools. One of them was Ruby Bridges. But have you heard of the McDonogh 3? Meet them via this @the74.bsky.social story I wrote a year ago.

During Jim Crow, everything from restaraunts to stores to hotels to pharmacies to gas stations required making safe choices. They shaped every trip a Black person made. We document that history, and you can add your story to it here #CommunityMap: greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject #EconSky

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry. The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

A powerful personal testament from Tom Bowman of NPR about the Pentagon attempt to exert complete control over all information. Protecting classified is of course fine. But when neither Fox News nor NY Times sign up to your policy, you should ask yourself if you are getting something very wrong.

I'll second Menzie on this. It's pure cronyism: $20 billion line of credit for a personal political and business ally, no collateral, no conditions. This is corruption, pure and simple, and Republicans in Congress are not lifting a finger to stop it.

"Bob Fogel said to me once: For economics to work without economic history is like an evolutionary biologist without paleontology. You just miss 99.5% of all the species that ever walked on this earth." Joel Mokyr www.youtube.com/live/__0sGvj...

My first All-University of California Economic History Group meeting was in the spring of 1986 at the Huntington Library. The entire weekend was devoted to discussing a draft of this book by Joel Mokyr:

Pope Leo XIV encouraged international news agencies on Thursday to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation, as he strongly backed a free, independent and objective press
