This is completely heartbreaking. I cried. New Yorker at its best.

COVID’s silver lining: Bipartisan realization that early childcare isn’t a “nice to have”- it’s fundamental to the US economy and our country’s future! See new poll from @firstfiveyears

Low-income children are going to be particularly hurt by the pandemic. But evidence from @theNASEM report reveals that assistance programs can cut child poverty in 1/2 w/in 10 years. Board member & study lead Greg Duncan speaks to ⁦@NYTimesPR⁩ https://t.co/xSb7fmXe1Y

Adding the @VeepHBO credits/music to the @axios / @jonathanvswan Trump interview just makes sense

$100 billion. I can’t believe I am typing this number about child care. Today the House passed two historic child care bills providing nearly $100 billion for child care over the next 5 years! #childcareisessential (1/6) https://t.co/hE2By51sp8

“We gave less money to the entire #childcare sector than to one single airline, Delta...it seems crazy that we care more about saving Delta than we do about the entire child care industry.” ⁦@BetseyStevenson⁩ in ⁦@politico⁩ #SaveChildCare https://t.co/ZOkUTzxIHB

Epi term of the day: Reverse Causation. You notice in observational data that when dogs wag their tails, they are happy. You infer that wagging causes happiness. In a desperate bid to lift your dog’s spirits, you wag her tail. You fail. Reverse Causation.

[Chris Marsicano @ChrisMarsicano]

Well, it finally happened. This #ICE International #StudentBan got me back into the “organizing effective lobbying action via twitter” game.

@ProfEmilyOster Thanks for your leadership on this! Are you also gathering data that would indicate any spread within centers? Maybe the number of centers with >1 case in a week in the tracking sample? Or another way?

[Emily Oster @ProfEmilyOster]

Do you run a child care setting, camp or school with (typically) more than 100 kids which is open or reopening? Please consider being part of our second data effort to do some ongoing tracking. Data will be up starting next week!

Sick about #GeorgeFloyd and yet oh so thankful for a president who knows the power she holds and her capacity to make a change. @JoanGabel @UMNews
