Congress is considering adding or expanding work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP. But work requirements penalize low-income workers and families, who—not by choice—often experience volatility in employment and work hours. @lizananat.bsky.social, @agpines.bsky.social, and Olivia Howard explain:

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants
the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever
they aren’t going into universities’ endowments
they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy
Harvard & others must counter this quickly
The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value
