New study finds that citizens who worked directly with scientists said it boosted their trust, mainly because of how they were treated: quick replies, honesty about uncertainty, and having a real say in the research. jcom.sissa.it/article/pubi...

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Where your $100 donation actually goes Of every $100 raised by a Democratic fundraising text, $73 goes to consultants and vendors. Only $13 reaches voters as advertising — the most expensive dollar to raise in American politics. Consultants & vendors • Advertising, staff & admin | Your donation $100 Fundraising fees -$65 $35 left Strategic consultants -$2 $33 left Media placement commission -$6 $73 of every $100 goes to consultants & vendors $27 left Advertising -$13 $14 left Staff, travel & admin -$14 $0 left Note: Shares are for a dollar raised by a Democratic fundraising text or email.

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

How the Consulting Class Is Eating the Democratic Party

Fundraising costs gobble up most of the funds raised. Billions are spent on TV ads that have virtually no impact. Candidates may win or lose—but the consulting class always wins.

BTW this means no funding for GSS, ANES, or PSID. GSS 2026 is in the field now, but then it looks like that's it. Devastating for social science.

NEW: In March the White House released an FY27 budget request that zeroed out the National Science Foundation's directorate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). For months it was unclear what would happen. Now, with FY26 over, the damage to SBE is coming to light. My reporting:

To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

NEW / HUGE: Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama sued nearly three dozen abortion pill providers + a pharmacy and The states asked the Supreme Court to be able to sue New York, Massachusetts, and California to challenge their telehealth shield laws @autonomynews.co storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dear Mr. Cayce: I write to notify the panel of two legal developments material to the panel’s resolution of this case. First, today Louisiana—joined by Arkansas and Alabama—filed a lawsuit in the Western District of Louisiana against nearly three dozen individuals and entities responsible for remotely dispensing FDA- approved mifepristone in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama. See Louisiana v. Nouhavandi, No. 2:26-cv-03836 (W.D. La.) (attached). As the complaint in that case illustrates, none of those individuals and entities could carry out their current operations without the 2023 REMS’s removal of the in-person dispensing requirement. Second, also today Louisiana—joined by Arkansas and Alabama— filed a motion for leave to file a bill of complaint (attached), Louisiana v. New York, in the United States Supreme Court against New York, Massachusetts, and California. The bill of complaint challenges the telehealth shield laws of those states on various legal grounds. Both complaints explain how Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. FDA will eliminate the flood of FDA-approved mifepristone into the State. Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. Nouhavandi will eliminate the 2 ability of nearly three dozen of the most prominent actors to illegally send any abortion drugs into the State. And Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. New York will strip all shield-law state residents—regardless of any back-up drugs they may try to use—of the claimed authority to violate Louisiana’s laws with impunity. espectfully, /s/J.

"Scholars whose parents did not graduate from college are less likely to land tenure-track jobs at major research universities & less likely to get tenure Researchers...found disadvantage of being a 1st-gen college grad could be even greater than disadvantages associated w being female or nonwhite"

The Working Class Face a ‘Class Ceiling’ in Elite Occupations (Gift Article)

Being female or a person of color has long been seen as a disadvantage in hiring and promotion. A new study of college professors shows that class may loom as large.

MYSTERY MEAT: Trump says he struck a deal to flood the U.S. with cheaper foreign beef. There’s just one problem: He refuses to tell Americans which countries the beef is coming from. And U.S. ranchers are furious.

Mystery Meat: Trump Refuses to Say Where His New Flood of Foreign Beef Is Coming From

Trump says he has struck a deal to bring 300,000 metric tons of cheaper foreign beef into the United States. There’s one detail he won’t reveal: who the deal is actually with.

This should be getting FAR more attention. An American oil company with ties to Trump’s orbit is moving forward with plans to drill for oil in Greenland. Some drilling-related equipment has already been brought ashore even though Greenland says the necessary approvals have NOT been granted.
