Good read from the Times on why child care is so expensive. The thing that makes it easier for me to stomach paying so much is knowing it's almost all going to my daughter's amazing teachers who deserve to make much more. We need more public investment!

We have spent as much as half of Head Start's total annual budget on this in less than a week.

$300 million mistake
That's the same cost as 25,000 Head Start slots
You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.
Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.
if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
Intergenerational programs are a cool way to promote child & elder care quality & supply- not sure they'll be a widespread solution to the challenges in those fields, but worth more experimentation & investment

More Hours, More Work: Head Start Expansions Boost Maternal Employment by Chloe Gibbs, Esra Kose, and Maria Rosales-Rueda Abstract: Women’s employment remains highly sensitive to childcare constraints, making childcare availability a critical lever for supporting mothers’ labor force attachment. We study the effects of expanded full-day programming in Head Start, using the 2016 federal funding initiative that targeted grantees with low full-day enrollment. Linking administrative program data, geo-coded center locations, and household data on employment, we estimate a difference-in-differences design by comparing mothers of young children in treated and untreated areas. The policy increased full-day enrollment by 19 percent and raised single mothers’ employment (1.9%), hours (2.5%), and earnings (6.5%). Results show that extending program duration meaningfully improves maternal labor market outcomes.
🚨🚨 It's new research week for me on the socials! 🚨🚨
First up, just released today as an NBER working paper:
"More Hours, More Work: Head Start Expansions Boost Maternal Employment" with fantastic coauthors Esra Kose and Maria Rosales-Rueda

This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota.
Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not.
I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.
This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost
We're so back!
The Premier League halftime show being sponsored by Advil has never felt more appropriate 🤦♂️ #COYS
"We are losing between a quarter and half of the child care workforce every single year, and almost all of them are fully exiting the profession!!" 😬😬😬

Love this article. So proud to be Minnesotan 💙
You love to see it
One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
A recently introduced bipartisan bill would start the CTC phase-in at the first dollar of income. While I'd prefer full refundability, this is the kind of achievable reform that would help plenty of families & makes sense to support with the current Congress

What a game and what a story. The Indiana turnaround is something that feels impossible to pull off even in NCAA dynasty mode
This AFCON final is insane 😳
Woah.
Argentina's 1990s preschool expansion program appears to have been a smashing success.
The program increased high school completion by a whole 11.9 percentage points.
The authors estimate that for every $1 spent, the preschool expansion generated about $11 in benefits.
Good to see continued progress on this issue!

ND is right to feel outraged by being left out of the playoff, but this is so lame. The Pop-Tarts Bowl would've been a lot of fun & you miss out on practice time & game experience for younger guys to prepare for next season by doing this
I keep coming back to this:
Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined four points. Their most recent loss was on September 14th.
Alabama lost by 21 yesterday.
This sucks cuz ND had a real chance to win the national championship. Don't think you can say the same about Bama after last night. And idk why Miami jumps us when neither of us played
It's gotta be ND & Miami in and Bama out
