@WeiLinChen16 and I completed a Latent Class Analysis on the Wabash Study data from @UIowaEducation in Research in Higher Education w/@SpringerNature . The LCA includes 28 outside-of-the-classroom activities and behaviors. link.springer.com/article/10…
I am primarily done on this platform. As I used to use it for academic articles and policy pieces, most of that is now gone. So, I am moving to Bluesky under mitchlingo.bsky.social.

“Christian nationalism is the worship…. Of power.”
Worth a listen
A must-watch sermon from Texas Congressman @jamestalarico.
Send this to every Christian you know.

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson - founding fathers and apparently radicals for believing in public education for every child, with systems of accountability to ensure public dollars are used wisely, and without private or religious involvement.

An additional 15 million decent-paying jobs will be available within the next decade.
Who will fill them?
A new @GeorgetownCEW report shows a vast majority will require a higher education, with 66% requiring at least a bachelor’s degree. cew.georgetown.edu/cew-repor…

What do tax cuts for the rich do?
They increase inequality.
They have no effect on economic growth or unemployment.
"Our results provide strong evidence against the influential political–economic idea that tax cuts for the rich ‘trickle down’ to boost the wider economy."

Today, @hamiltonproj published new research highlighting the exceptional role of prime age women in the recent labor market recovery. However, the work identifies one group for whom labor force participation growth has recently stalled amidst widespread progress overall. 1/

CEA’s 2023 white paper highlights ways that federal funding for child care under the Biden-Harris Administration --$24 billion in subsidies via the American Rescue Plan—helped to stabilize the child care industry while helping moms get back to work. 3/

"We show that Black families whose ancestors were enslaved until the Civil War have considerably lower education, income, & wealth [today] than Black families whose ancestors were free before the Civil War."

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.
I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

On Bill Maher, Secretary of Transportation @PeteButtigieg talks about @JDVance1:
“I know a lot of guys like JD Vance…they say whatever they need to say to get ahead.”
He then compares Vance to his former home state Governor Mike Pence.
Buttigieg talks about Pence being an Evangelical who threw away his principles in order to gain power by being Trump’s Vice-President only to end up four years later being targeted by Trump’s supporters at the US Capitol.
He says that he hopes that things do not turn out the same way for Vance.
On Trump’s growing group of Silicon Valley billionaires, Buttigieg says: “These are very rich man who have decided to back the Republican party which does very good things for very rich men.”

If the #RNC2024 were serious about crime prevention, one way they’d show it is by investing in public schools—not voucher schemes.
New results from Michigan adds to the tally of overwhelming evidence that school spending has broad social benefits.

Can’t believe we get Spotted Cow in the culture war. That’s huge.
Overheard in Milwaukee: @SenRonJohnson: "Spotted Cow is pretty good, but the owner is ultraliberal. Leinenkugel's is the conservative one."

RCT reducing leisure screen time among adults and adolescents to *<3 hours per week*. Compliance was high — they exchanged smartphones for flip phones.
Results:
- 45 mins more physical activity per day
- Better mood and well-being (adults)
- Fewer behavioral issues (kids)

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.

The rural decay in Iowa is NOT the fault of Democrats. They have represented virtually none of rural Iowa for decades and decades. Think about the reason nothing has been done, who has represented you, THEN vote accordingly.
It’s clear that 40+ years of Republican control of the U.S. House seat in Western Iowa has not paid off. Our communities are hollowing out and we’ve been sold off to corporate interests for scrap. We deserve better. Let’s fight the good fight together.
