Earlier this month @maggielevenstein.bsky.social and I spoke to BBC's More or Less about what is happening with US government data. Thanks to @timharford.ft.com for having us! #databs #statistics #episky
The Case of the Missing US Data: In early February, something strange started happening across US government websites. Decades of data began disappearing. We speak to Maggie Levinstein and @johnkubale.bsky.social to find out why, and why it matters.

New coverage @washingtonpost.com
of the federal tax shelter x voucher scheme I’ve been warning about.
This would force vouchers into states that don’t want them.
And cost $135 billion over the next few years—while Medicaid and other supports are slashed.

Pro tip: when explaining the NIH cuts to friends and family, use "research infrastructure" rather than "indirect costs" or, godforbid, "overhead."
DOGE just slashed the budget for research infrastructure.
It's accurate and it drives home that the fight is over jobs and facilities, not "waste."
