DC dad and education policy guy. Former @dcbeer editor. Tweets are going to be some awful pie chart of craft beer, dynasty baseball, Everton, politics, policy, dadding, cooking, and snark. Definitely snark.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

The Boy Genius Who Killed 14 Million Poor People What is the moral weight of responsibility for the men who carried out DOGEโ€™s work?

i think i disagree with the idea that the ferritor should have been allowed to follow his own path during his schooling, neglecting assignments and being coddled for his apparent genius. i think, in fact, that this was the problem. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-boy-ge...

The central problem with the "this is really scary stuff" argument is federal elected Ds not acting like it

It's why the Democratic Party polls so poorly at the moment

Summers is not a fire breather or some left winger. He slimmed down Obamaโ€™s stimulus and he said Bidenโ€™s Covid stimulus would overheat the economy. So him saying this is a big damn deal.

All the professionals that have worked to build non-political careers in curating and interpreting statistics are justifiably pissed. This is as insulting to them as putting WormBrain Bob is to serious healthcare professionals, or Linda McMahon to serious educators.

AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION
Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations


Statement from the American Economic Association on the
Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner

Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today.
The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day.
Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias.
The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity.
Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions.
We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure.

About 147K federal employees work in the state that Earle-Sears is running to govern. She does not want to answer if mass purges of this workforce is a good or bad thing, presenting it as a distraction from the real issues: a project that involved in 800 jobs.

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP. "None of this is to say the Commanders should not return to D.C., but the team can do so on its own dime. Stadiums provide benefits that are hard to quantify... But council members should remember that the Commanders need D.C. more than D.C. needs the Commanders."

Opinion | Reject the Commanders stadium deal Even after tweaks, the deal still amounts to corporate welfare that the NFL team and its billionaire owner do not need.

The Post has it right. We should not use taxpayer dollars to support a stadium for a private organization, owned by billionaires, that will make them billions of dollars.
