The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

I thought the world would finally do something.

This is what happens when you order delivery in DC right now.

Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding Government infusions at key moments helped Tesla and SpaceX flourish, boosting Musk’s wealth.

How to use public funding when billionaire, penalizing the poor directly (USAID) and their basic public services indirectly (i.e., health, and education).

Which Countries Are Most Exposed to US Aid Cuts; And What Other Providers Can Do While it is still unclear how long the current freeze on US foreign aid will last, and when and where it might resume, it seems the US, under the second Trump administration, may be ready to abandon…

@ianmitchell1.bsky.social & @samhugh3s.bsky.social find that a 1 year US aid freeze could trigger an economic shock of 1% of GNI in 23 economies—with eight countries, incl. South Sudan, Somalia & Ethiopia, facing a devastating 3%+ hit.

Which other countries could step up?

Some federal workers are ‘getting wealthy at taxpayer expense,’ says Elon Musk, whose companies have received at least $20 billion from the government

See here's how to do a headline.

Economists are sounding the alarm about the effects of the returning Administration's plans to seize and remove millions of workers from the US

I spoke to The @economist.com about why those effects will include rising native unemployment and inflation—> www.economist.com/finance-and-...

We don’t talk enough about how straight up creepy Elon is to women. Like, if you saw him in a bar you’d reflexively put your hand over your drink.

@andresmoya.bsky.social and others' work on how psychosocial support to caregivers in conflict-affect Colombia can improve maternal mental health and child development. www.jointdatacenter.org/wp-content/u...

Excited to be at the Global Impact Evaluation Forum @UN!

Tomorrow, I’ll present results from Semillas de Apego, a program for caregiver mental health & ECD in conflict-affected settings, and discuss why gender perspectives and maternal mental health are central to impact in these settings.

Insights from Colombia's massive regularisation of Venezuelan forced migrants The regularisation of Venezuelan migrants had no significant effects on labour markets, political and social cohesion among Colombian natives, or crimes committed against Colombians while it enhanced ...

How will Trump’s plans to deport undocumented migrants impact US economy? Studies show Trump policies would cause ‘significant tightening in the already-tight job market’, hurting many sectors.

I spoke with @aljazeera.com about the economic effects of the mass deportation of unauthorized and authorized immigrants proposed for next year

Americans can expect reduced employment, reduced economic growth, and higher inflation

Yay! Incredibly deserved. Important to note that Claudia's work extended far beyond women in the labor market. Also pioneered the empirical revolution in labor economics more generally, and did important work on inequality — her Great Compression paper had a profound influence

This is the profile picture they should have used for the Nobel sketch, but I guess we can’t have it all.

Beautiful crow against a black background

It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows.
