Opinion | A Nobel Prize winner decodes why people aren’t having kids Economist Claudia Goldin finds it largely comes down to societal expectations of how much men should do at home.

β€œWhen men help out more at home, fertility rates rise

Nations where women spend several hours more than men on child rearing and household chores have the lowest fertility rates among high-income countries.”

Update: I offered this simple amendment in the Appropriations Committee to say no President can withhold funds from a college to try to control their speech.

Failed 14-15. Every Republican voted to endorse Trump’s censorship.

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.

Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.

Opinion | You Don’t Have to Be a Doctor to Understand This

"Empathy is not idealism; it articulates a pragmatic vision of our shared fate. In a world defined by worsening pandemics, climate instability and global interdependence, empathy is a necessity"

Senate Republicans just passed a budget creating the largest secret police force in the world & cutting $1.1 trillion from Medicaid, meaning not only will millions lose healthcare, a very large number of healthcare facilities will shut down for good, & Dem leadership is out complaining about Zohran.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It β€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

What Did Elon Musk Accomplish at DOGE? Even before Musk fell out with Donald Trump, the agency’s projected savings had plummeted. But he nevertheless managed to inflict lasting damage to the federal government.

Not much here is actually new but this is a very good overview of DOGE, which can only now be viewed as a failure on its own terms and a catastrophe on any other terms www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

β€œI am going to say, Mr. Secretary, you’re either feckless or complicit. You’re not in control of your department. It is unserious. It is shocking. You’re not combating anti-Semitism within your ranks.”

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

6/8 members of RFK Jr's ACIP have never looked a parent in the eye and said "Your baby might have meningitis. We need to do some lab work and a spinal tap."

7/8 never had to explain to a family why their newborn "will have significant neurodevelopmental problems" because of congenital rubella.

Casey Means is three years from turning 40.

C. Everett Koop was nominated to be surgeon general 40 years after earning his medical doctorate, with his remarkably successful career as a pediatric surgeon and groundbreaking innovator in between.

But that's roughly equivalent experience, no?

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH.

Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH.

HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH.

99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH.

Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.
