Flip-flopping every couple days about imposing blanket tariffs on our close allies on food items is causing a decline in consumer confidence and keeping inflation sticky. It’s dumb economic policy that hurts working class Americans.

Totally foreseeable, despite their assurances otherwise. Increasingly clear that we will not be able to rely on federal data collection and research efforts under this administration--it's going to be all up to the states.

If you click on the countries on this map, it’s just a reminder of how little we spend on foreign aid compared to overall federal spending. There is waste, but to throw the baby out with the bath water is so short-sighted. Sign-up here: bit.ly/4hyjEP2

I find this table in Sandoval-Hernandez et al. (2025) pretty insightful - surprise surprise, MG-CFA invariance barely reaches metric levels, even for these large scale super standardized assessments. Good news is that there are alternatives to this approach. #psychometrics #invariance

Every day I have a talented friend or colleague reach out for job opportunities due to the #aidfreeze or the #NIH related cuts. These are literally the most talented people I have ever encountered. Not sure what #efficiency means to this government but furloughing US talent does not sound like it.

People don’t understand education research. They also don’t understand how universities work or what these cuts mean in the real world. We need folks sharing their stories to the general public so Americans can understand the crippling effects of these cuts.

NEW: USAID's Inspector General somehow just released a report on the impact of the Musk-Trump-Vance admin's aid freeze & cuts to the agency. Says $489 million of food aid was put at risk. BHA – which provides aid (food, water, shelter, healthcare) – had 90% of staff furloughed or put on leave.

The United Nations can no longer rely on the United States as a stable and generous funder of humanitarian and human rights programs. UN leadership and its member countries need a backup plan to ensure lifesaving UN humanitarian aid and human rights work continue.
