State-level ballot initiatives put forth by both citizens + legislatures hold great potential for improving #populationhealth write @paulalantz and Emma Carter in @Health_Affairs. But since 2016, efforts to derail these initiatives have been increasing. bit.ly/3Zdh4rv

Some good news in SCOTUS opinion:
1. No immunity for unofficial acts; pressuring state officials, fake electors scheme, public statements made as a candidate likely qualify;
2. Immunity for official acts is only presumptive. Conduct must fall within “conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.” Meetings with VP Pence still on the table.
3. POTUS need not be impeached and convicted first.
I am beyond thrilled that @pamela_herd and @donmoyn are joining us at the @fordschool . I'm looking forward to hanging out with and learning even more from them!
The #UMichRegents have approved the appointments of two distinguished new Ford School faculty, sociologist Pamela Herd (@pamela_herd) and political scientist Donald Moynihan (@donmoyn).

Exciting Reproductive Healthcare News!
Was out and about today when I saw Opill in Costco. Opill is a first of its kind FDA approved over the counter birth control pill. You don’t need a prescription, and it is 98% effective when used correctly.
Big win for access!
With E. Carter, my view on how state laws banning "divisive concepts" in public higher ed (10 so far) are harmful to evidence-based teaching about social inequality.
This is going to get worse: Many have recently blamed liberal profs/"woke" teaching for current campus protests.
In a new @MilbankFund opinion, @paulalantz & Emma Carter (MPP ‘24) review bills prohibiting 'divisive concepts.' They argue these laws risk compromising academic freedom, education quality, and program accreditation, & could stifle discourse & research. myumi.ch/23jqN

In a new Milbank Quarterly Opinion, @jennkarasmontez offers research recommendations to explore the effects of state policies on population health. Suggestions include examining policy bundles and identifying pathways between policies and health: buff.ly/49W0HS9

The CDC wants to stop telling people to isolate for five days when they are sick with COVID. This is a reckless, anti-public health policy that contravenes science, increases disease spread, and puts everyone at greater risk. 🧵
ALT The Washington Post: CDC plans to drop five-day covid isolation guidelines Americans who test positive for the coronavirus no longer need to routinely stay home from work and school for five days under new guidance planned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Excellent study and video on how racism prematurely ages Black people!
doi.org/10.1215/00703370-110…
VIDEO: A study by LDI Fellow @CourtneyBoen found that on average, Black Americans are biologically about 9 years older than white Americans of the same chronological age.
The results support closing the wealth gap as a way of reducing aging disparities.

Absolutely crazy: Delaware is raising the health insurance premiums of state employees by *27%* next year, and state leaders are admitting here that this single hike will wipe away *seven years* of their salary increases. A gargantuan pay cut. delawareonline.com/story/new…
