A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

PSA: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

NEW: The NIH is quietly restricting funding for research that evaluates how public policy impacts human health. According to internal documents I obtained, the agency no longer considers policymakers "mission relevant" — a massive shift for the biomedical funder. My latest for @nature.com:

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Our new pub is out! We argue that any future scholarship on the politics of inequality should center the people. We call this the PUBLIC framework (Pluralistic methods, UnBiased perspectives, Local dynamics, Intersectional understanding, & Critical of power). journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Psychological approaches to the study of the politics of inequality are welcome and warranted because psychology
is foundational to understanding inequality, including ways to rectify it. Whereas some approaches narrow political
psychology’s focus through a lens of a particular discipline and definition of inequality (Connolly et al., 2026), our
focus is to center the public. That is, psychology is best situated to study the politics of inequality if it approaches the
problem of inequality from a broader perspective: that of people—a perspective that goes well beyond a small handful
of academic disciplines or socioeconomic strata. To accomplish this goal, we propose a pluralistic, unbiased, local,
intersectional, and critical (PUBLIC) approach to the political psychology of inequality. A PUBLIC approach should be
pluralistic in its application of evidence and ways of knowing; unbiased in the perspectives that it centers; local in its
focus on psychology, politics, and impact; intersectional in its understanding of inequality and solidarity; and critical
in its analysis of power and advantage. Implications for policy and collective action are highlighted.
