All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing.

🚨 Record-low supply is a core driver of the sky-high housing costs. We need to build WAY more homes and change HOW we build homes. So that’s what I’m working to do in Congress. And I won’t quit.

🚨 Housing costs in New Hampshire outpace family incomes by more than 5X. Outrageous.

🚨A decade ago, in 2015, the median age of a first-time American home buyer was 31 years old. Today, a decade later, the median age is 40. Not right.

A reminder that there’s a perfectly good bill with *bipartisan* support to resolve the ACA tax credit crisis which could easily be passed THIS WEEK.

It won’t get a vote, of course.

Hope Floats? Bipartisan House team introduces ACA enhanced tax credit extension bill which...isn't terrible!
It's reasonable, fair & well thought out, which means Thune & Johnson will never put it to a floor vote.

Wouldn’t FERPA have something to say about this?
Do the eleventy thousand public school systems that rely on Google (Gmail, docs, Classroom, etc) know that the company, with the flick of a switch and with no notice, is now training its plagiarism machine on child student data?

This could quite possibly be running afoul of some state laws.
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

How are rural residents supposed to shop around for emergency care? What do they do when there's only one hospital for miles?
 
Especially when GOP Medicaid cuts are CLOSING those hospitals!

Women have been highlighting equality and equity disparities in healthcare for some time.

Disturbing to see 3 stories in as many days about the continued decline and outright failure of our systems to care for Black women, particularly in maternal healthcare.
