Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

#migration #buses #lonestar Has anyone collected information on the buses sent from Texas by Gov Abbott: I am looking for the number of buses, the date, and the destination city. Thus far, I have seen some discussions in @texastribune.org but no data. Thanks.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

this is where the rubber meets the road. NIH doesn't just fund research univs and hospitals in blue states. if anything they're most important to regional economies in the reddest states and districts.

I teach a lecture course on immigration and this spring I want to add a week on immigration and the 2024 election. Public opinion is not my area of expertise so I am looking to crowdsource good articles -- peer reviewed or otherwise -- that provide context and analysis. Any/all appreciated.
