NEW! The type of Early Head Start services a family receives varies by child and family characteristics, and this changes as children grow. Read more in our latest CSCH brief: csch.media.uconn.edu/wp-content/u... @caitlombardi.bsky.social @delainacarlson.bsky.social

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

thehandbasket.co

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Do children in Early Head Start have a provider with their same race and ethnicity? CSCH affiliates and fellow researchers looked at this question. Read about their findings in our brief. csch.uconn.edu/wp-content/u... #HealthyKids #WholeChild #WSCC

At 5 pm Fri, the Social Security Admin announced that it will withhold the *entire* Social Security benefits of overpaid seniors & people w/disabilities, even if not their fault—reversing a Biden-era reform that limited repayment to 10% of the monthly benefit. This will cause needless suffering.
