My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

🚨 JOB MARKET PAPER ALERT! 🚨

Does anyone have recommendations to share on crafting the job market paper spiel? or has that gone by the wayside in the post-hotel interview era? #EconSky

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world.

If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.

“As federal workers, we signed up to serve the American people and to serve the public, and while we're on furlough and we can't do that as part of our jobs, we want to find other ways to give back to our local communities.”

This is exactly why the administration despises federal workers.

Just curious, how many units of housing are going to be in this ballroom?
I can’t believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled

“It’s one army, Michael. How much could it cost?”
"It remains unclear how far the donation would go toward covering the salaries of the more than 1.3 million troops who make up the active-duty military.....A $130 million donation would equal about $100 a service member."

Donald Trump has had more government shutdowns under unified party control than all other U.S. president —combined. Trump also presided over the longest shutdown, and will likely surpass that record.

This is not gridlock, this is bad governance.

Showing more spine than many politicians
No regrets.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is standing by the league’s choice for the Super Bowl halftime show, even as ICE involvement and political backlash draw headlines.

I wrote an opinion piece about parental/family leave at UConn. I’m only ~75% happy with it but … something needed to be said. Many things actually. Loudly. Repeatedly. And with as many voices as possible.

“This is UConn: Zero paid family leave for professors”

Opinion: This is UConn: Zero paid family leave for professors
UConn currently lets every pregnant/expecting individual reinvent the wheel, cobbling together a leave plan with whatever resources and departmental grace they can muster.
