Just posted an updated/revised version of this β€œStatistical Methods in Public Policy Research” chapter, now under review post-R&R 🀞

I'm kinda partial and unbiased here, but I really really like this piece!

Massive Bay Area transit cuts likely as Newsom backtracks on $750M loan, lawmakers say Bay Area lawmakers and transit advocates say Gov. Gavin Newsom’s reneging on a critical $750 million loan will have devastating consequences for BART, Muni and other agencies in the region.

If Newsom goes back on his promise here it may end up being one of the defining moments of his time as governor. Just an unmitigated disaster. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

The four Pepsi Zeros I got earlier today trying to burn through an unnecessary meal plan my school gave me for the "summer" is undoubtedly the root of all of my problems right now

Trump Shoots the Messenger Firing the BLS Commissioner moves us into banana republic territory

New, from me:
Trump just fired the head of the BLS, accusing her of rigging data.
The reality is that by shooting the messenger reporting on the negative effects of his economic policies, Trump pushed America further into banana republic territory.

"Just before the election this woman came out with phenomenal numbers on Biden's economy and right after the election, they announced those numbers were wrong."

This is a lie! The pre-election job numbers were bad! BLS revisions were bad for Biden/Harris!

Until Trump Fired Her, She Was an Economist With Bipartisan Support Erika McEntarfer led the agency that produced key data on jobs and inflation. Then July’s report showed a weakening economy, and President Trump accused her of β€œrigging” the numbers.

Erika McEntarfer led the federal agency that produced key data on jobs and inflation. Then President Trump lashed out over the agency’s most recent jobs report and fired her for releasing monthly data showing weak hiring. He called the data β€œrigged” without offering any evidence.

It's been about a week since I presented at my first conference ever @mpsa.bsky.social ! Met some cool people there and I can't wait to go back in the future.

A huge thank you and shoutout to my advisors @jloffredo.bsky.social and Heather Stoll for all their support over the past few months!
