Today’s @nytimes.com Daily made me think that this shutdown is the appetizer to the main course of chaos that President Trump will bring on. The man can certainly blow up an agreement, but can he actually come up with policy solutions?

EOY is my time to review the research that I missed throughout the year. The #TNTP study "Paths of Opportunity" report does a great job identifying the factors that have to be working in tandem to position people for economic mobility. tntp.org/publication/...

Major yikes - "Even relatively generous assumptions about how the Trump tax cuts may be financed in the long run suggest the cuts would reduce the incomes of the bottom 60 percent of Americans while raising those of the top 10 percent." Thanks @americanprogress.bsky.social for the interesting report

Cool article for teachers - love the illustrations and section-by-section breakdown of the Notre-Dame project
How Notre-Dame Was Reborn
It took about 250 companies, 2,000 workers, about $900 million, a tight deadline and a lot of national pride.

Great @nytimes.com article this AM on the Silicon Valley billionaires advising the transition. This administration is already focusing their time on making the gov work for the billionaire class.

Thanks for the helpful (although concerning ☹️) breakdown of the Skrmetti case @strictscrutiny.bsky.social. Since it's Giving Tuesday, I'll definitely be supporting organizations like @lambdalegal.bsky.social that will help combat any negative repercussions from a future decision.
