we knew this stuff was going on at the time, and it is a big reason the pandemic and now vaccination and public health are so polarized. people have to understand if they are in a job where they have to play it politically straight.

Census has announced the initial disclosure control plan for 2030. It doesn't look good. /1

I don’t agree with these claims but this is an interesting thread

This is the standard every politician should enforce regardless of how one thinks such a vote should go. The separation of powers is a vital tool in our system to preserve government by the people, not rule by one individual

People often use analytical tools because they are new, not because they are useful. Classic example: the 3-D graph. What even is this? Some other examples: synthetic control, distance IVs, what else?

Selling federal land for $10billion to address the national debt is like selling the family cat for $28 because I have $100,000 in student loan debt and 'every little bit helps!' while meanwhile the Big Beautiful Bill is putting another $10k on my credit card.
