OVERCROWDED🐕:If you've felt a recent pull to rescue a dog here in Austin, now would be a great time. Austin Animal Services is currently 70 dogs over kennel capacity. Visit here for more info on how to foster or adopt: AustinTexas.gov/AnimalServices.

There are a lot of weaknesses in @mattyglesias child care piece yesterday, but his assertion that high child care costs mainly matter for two-earner couples in expensive cities who are "well represented in the Democratic Party staffer class" is stunningly off-base. (Also, as I write in my response, "Yglesias cares a lot about saying things that are true vs. things that are not true, so he might be interested to know that federal data shows that there is widespread usage of paid child care among all American families— [even] close to 30% of single-earner two-parent families utilize at least one regular nonparental care arrangement (and nearly 80% of these use center-based — i.e. paid — care).")

Bad news for Dems in this chart is that an issue party leaders are very fired up about — child care — has little traction with the public. Good news is the public’s grievances with food and energy have more straightforward fixes! slowboring.com/p/elizabeth-wa…

Federal scholarship tax credits could inject new funding into public schools, but only if they can compete with established private-school networks. Our newest memo lays out how states can help public-serving organizations become SGOs fast. 🔗: thirdway.org/memo/ensuring-…

We know the answer: Cal State LA, followed by Pace & SUNY. State systems in California, Texas & New York are great for moving many born in the lower 20% of income to the top 20%; Ivies for moving a few from the bottom to the top 1%. nber.org/system/files/w…

The college that does the most to lift poor kids into the middle class probably isn't one you've heard of. It's not Harvard. It's not MIT. It might be a CUNY campus.

I don’t think people have fully absorbed just how big the declines in student enrollment are going to be. Eight states are projected to experience DOUBLE DIGIT declines by 2031.
