I will take a clipboard to the apple orchards tomorrow and get you some point estimates

To the extent the Democrats shutdown tactics over ACA subsidies makes sense, this is it. It could bring a looming wedge issue in the GOP conference to light.

Thanks Carlos!

I know right, my coauthor Ethan is a beast.

Thanks Jen!

excellent, there's an OSF link in the paper with the data, but shoot me an email if you run into any issues pulling it.

Thanks Bryan, it means a lot to hear that from you. I've heard your team unloaded parts of the project, but we should chat about how to keep building it with these tools.

This is an incredibly important new dataset. It will allow new research paths not available before. Moreover it continues the open access philosophy of Policy Agendas. Thanks Alex!

The first 100 days of the Trump administration felt more destructive of governmental capacity than any shutdown I've observed, which also has changed expectations for what makes this shutdown newsworthy.

It doesn't feel like either side is really putting its heart into this government shutdown. Especially with the House out of town.

For public policy scholars: JPIPE published our article that uses machine learning to code the universe of congressional and state legislative data since 2009 by the Comparative Agenda Project policy codes. That's 1.68 million bills. OPEN-ACCESS here: www.nowpublishers.com/article/Deta...

compelling argument

The #GarlickBLT made it to Ohio today.

thanks for having me!

OK Constitutional scholars.

The $100K H1B fee can't be constitutional, can it? Congress authorized visa fees to cover administrative expenses--they're not a backdoor for the executive to raise funds.

Anything I'm missing here?

I can't believe that video was supposed to promote that product

Thanks to @eliseconant.bsky.social for inviting me to her ethics class and the Vermont Conversation Lab to talk about my book and future health care policy research. The #GarlickBLT book tour continues.

That's on a #GarlickBLT (book launch tour)

YouTube video by Across the Fence Why Are Your Healthcare Costs so High?

Huge day for the PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS book launch tour. I'm on the local CBS today discussing why YOUR health care costs are so high and what lobbyists have to do with it. #GarlickBLT

it's not a perfect correlation, but there's also an inverse relationship between prestige and how much they care about undergraduate edcuation

A reminder: the in-state public institution that you or your loved one is admitted to will most likely offer you a quality education at an affordable price.

Us Vermonters love two things: accountability for government officials, and public radio

This Jimmy Kimmel protest proposal couldn't be more Vermont even if it was covered in maple syrup.

well deserved, trying to classify that as terrorism was absurd

Vrabel had a similar call

2 adorable gray kittties snuggling together in the sunshine.

If I go a full day in the hospital without talking to any patients about my cats, that’s not high-quality palliative care delivery.

I was also so fortunate to have @garlicksauce.bsky.social present as part of the #GarlickBLT this week in Public Health Nursing!

The thing about using Senate obstruction tools is that it's win-win for liberals. Either you successfully slow down or block action by Trump. Or you get the Republicans in the Senate to weaken or abolish the filibuster. Either thing is an improvement over the status quo.

I guess we can call this the "Performative Military" vs. "Industrial" Complex
