My book, Misguided, officially launches today!
If you’ve ever wondered why people believe false things — or how to build resilience against misinformation — this book is for you. I wrote it to help us navigate our overwhelming information environment, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with you.

A District-by-District Accounting of the $6.2 billion U.S. Department of Education Has Held Back from Schools The Education Department is refusing to release billions of dollars for public schools. See the impact by school system and congressional district.
