Thereβs a big public management literature on third-party governance and contracting out.
At this point when youβre dealing with 99% of private students paid via voucher subsides, Iowa private schools are contractors for public service provision.
They should be treated as such @donmoyn.bsky.social

Iran then gave US a longer, five-page proposal. "We joked that even though we were in Switzerland, the proposal was like Swiss cheese, because there were, you know, a lot of holes that they were able to go through."

I just can't tell what's a throwaway line, what's a joke, and what's a policy announcement these days.

New post!
Many Americans hold contradictory opinions on the same policies. Question wording effects can swing opinions by 20+ points on immigration, the budget, and transgender rights.
That's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living.

For those who remain, document mismatches open their holders to accusations of fraud: if the gender marker on the ID conflicts with their appearance, the assumption is that they are using identification that doesnβt belong to them. Florida has taken this a step further. The state doesnβt just prohibit changing gender on state IDs. An official from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles announced in a rescission memo that anyone with a different sex marker than the one assigned at birth is βmisrepresentingβ their gender, which constitutes fraud. A Texas law introduced last year and reintroduced this January goes further still, creating the criminal offense of βgender identity fraud.β
Some states are categorizing having an ID that does not match gender assigned at birth as a form of fraud - βgender identity fraudβ - that is a criminal offense.

Itβs an article of faith for never-Trump conservatives that Trump is not a conservative. But history & tradition are against them. Conservatism has always had a hardline camp. Trump's embrace of The Great Replacement Theory has brought them to power. 1/x
