@Johnubacon Looking very sharp thus far. I realize it’s New Mexico but we often look pretty sloppy in the season opener

@mattyglesias How much polling incorporates some notion of conjoint analysis to reveal true priorities when tradeoffs are involved?

Yesterday, June 2, was an interesting day at work. I was reporting a story about how the Education Department hadn't delivered a report to Congress on the Condition of Education, despite the June 1 deadline mandated by law. 🧵 (1/9)

@NYschoolSecrets @marcportermagee @esanzi Harvard caused schools around the country to close because they did it first?

@asymmetricinfo You had every right to get a little hot on this and it's a good question. It's as though social media turns real life into a video game. And I don't think it's just because we're elder GenXers. Who would have mocked Pearl Harbor when we were younger?

[Brad Bernatek @bbernatek]

@Dale_Chu @bpmehlman I wonder how much that will be changing given the current political environment.

Now would be a good moment for Congress to take back its absolute power over tariffs.

Today I, like virtually every other full-time employee at VOA, was placed on administrative leave indefinitely. I'm not allowed to report the news to our hundreds of millions of viewers at this time. Let's hope this is temporary. A silencing of VOA will be celebrated by communists, autocrats and ayatollahs whose lies we shed light on. What a mission I've been lucky enough to embark on--a mission to grow American influence around the world, not by sharing slanted American propaganda, but by giving them the TRUTH! Why? Because America has the truth on its side.

VOA, too, has the truth in its corner. Don't let me or anyone else tell you what to think about VOA. I encourage all of my friends to go to https://t.co/OO2IDDRobD and read as much there as you can. It's been the honor and privilege of a lifetime to serve my country and follow my passion as a journalist. As we say at VOA, a free press matters.

To all of the service members and civilians who have trusted me with their stories during my 16 years at VOA and nearly 11 years as our Pentagon correspondent, I owe you a big "thank you" for putting your trust in me.
Let's hope that this isn't my last report as a VOA journalist. https://t.co/HdO68jqohN

It seems pretty clear that they did and that’s fundamental for assessment and research functions.

DOGE fired employees who were working on a clinical trial at the VA to treat cancers of the mouth, throat and voice box. The trial is now on hold as the patients run out of time.

@janecoaston Much appreciated. The 22 game in Columbus where JJ throws the first bomb to Cornelius Johnson would also work.

@notjessewalker @notjessewalker, it’s not an SOTU 🤣🤣🤣

[Brad Bernatek @bbernatek]

@marcportermagee Wow, I would have thought the same thing. Not sure how to square this with the emergence of populism and anti-incumbency backlash.

[Brad Bernatek @bbernatek]

@rickhess99 @ChadAldeman @dcexaminer So you’ve given up on norms? We are in a very bad place and it’s likely to get worse.

It is not complex. Russia wanted to restore its old borders and feared a democratic Ukraine that embraced free markets, the rule of law and the West. Putin wants to stamp out Ukraine’s existence.

@Noahpinion Golden Retrievers are pretty awesome as well…although my 7 year-old is getting pretty weary of her role as an emotional support dog.

@arotherham I'll believe when I see it.

PEPFAR is one of the most popular, bipartisan US foreign aid programs. The State Department says it has saved 25million lives, but there isn't much public, independent verification. Last week I invited some friends to a weekend hackatjon to see if PEPFAR's numbers held up.
