The GOP's budget slashes Medicaid by $880B—but here's the twist: Medicaid isn't just a blue state program anymore. It's the lifeline for rural, working-class voters in red America. Cutting benefits now would be like sawing off the branch you're sitting on. buff.ly/kFMOb3Y

Can you guess what happens when you provide kids with access to Medicaid? .... .... .... You lower crime as a direct result. "reduced incarceration in adulthood substantially offsets the initial costs of expanding eligibility."

Top research that ought to be heeded: marginal benefits of stricter pollution regulations are 10x the marginal costs! Yet right now, the Trump administration is gutting the same pollution regulations.

In their new book "After the Spike," demographers Dean Spears and Michael Geruso make the counterintuitive case for worrying less about overpopulation and more about depopulation time.com/7299524/birth-…
