Material hardship is associated with wide-ranging harms for children and their caregivers; ensuring children have their basic needs met is a shared value that should supersede partisan disagreements. To help families thrive, we should make refundable tax credits more inclusive, not less. π§΅ 1/

Shit happens
I prefer cluster.
You couldn't miss this golden opportunity!
NSDUH is one of the only ways we can track trends in substance use in the US. NSDUH is one of the only ways we can track adolescent mental health problems in the US.
We cannot afford to fly blind on these critical issues.
Have you read my research on pollen and behaviors? You should also take care of your mental health, avoid driving, and avoid calling emergency services (theyβll be swamped).
Iβll scream this till Iβm blue in the face: FEDERAL CONTRACTORS ARE IN THE SAME BOAT. I was laid off and I still donβt know how I was selected- itβs beyond demoralizing and embarrassing. The person in the piece summed it up well βThey took my job and my life from my hands without any reason.β
Date & time Mar 31, 2025, 4:00-5:30 pm EDT Add to Calendar How to attend Joan and Sanford Weill Hall Annenberg Auditorium 735 South State Street Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Mission Driven Bureaucrats argues that the key to better government lies not in stricter controls and more rigorous oversight but in empowerment and trust. Mission Driven Bureaucrats offers a roadmap for how governments can break from the status quo and cultivate a workforce of dedicated, empowered public servants. When bureaucrats are empowered to act on their mission-driven impulses, the results can be extraordinary. Managing more for empowerment - allowing autonomy, cultivating competence, and creating connection to peers and purpose - is often the path to better public performance and citizensβ welfare.
Hey folks, if you are in Ann Arbor next Monday (3/31, 4-5.30) please join me as I interview Dan Honig on his very timely new book "Mission Driven Bureaucrats." Free and open to the public, and would love to see a free-wheeling discussion about govt capacity. fordschool.umich.edu/event/2025/e...
