I have a lot of respect for Wired's reporting but this is wrong. No one who worked on this report is from Census CES. @wired.com should correct their error or provide more detail because this element of the story is wrong and vague.

Thanks to @joanalker1.bsky.social & @edwincpark.bsky.social for rebutting the editorial. A conservative think tank said lots of people on Medicaid are not working. The Post just went with that without sourcing the claim or methods or noting it contradicts multiple credible nonpartisan studies. Awful

There is good research on this that aligns with common sense: work requirements kick eligible people off programs because most people who can work are working. But we also have a industry of bogus analyses designed to reach the opposite conclusion. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Hey-family policy expert here-this is epically stupid (& ironic) 1. This program does provide cash to parents. The subsidy goes to child care providers. Good luck cutting those checks, JD. 1/4 Trump Officials Draft Plan to Pay At-Home Parents… www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/u...

Trump Officials Draft Plan to Pay At-Home Parents, Using Funds for Working Ones

The proposed benefit, a top policy priority for Vice President JD Vance, would apply only to married couples and tap a fund intended to provide federal child care subsidies to working parents.

Part 1 of a 3-part strategy. First, delegitimize real polls (that show Trump and his party struggling). Second, promote fake polls (that show the opposite). Third, deny election results they don’t like using fake polls as the “evidence” of election malfeasance. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Attacks on legitimate polls and the rise of fake polls make it hard for voters to know what to believe.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

Admirable clarity @science.org

The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story
