I was delighted to join Rishanka Jones to share what I've learned advocating for Talia and other students like her on the #autism spectrum. At the 7:07 mark, I shared my key lesson for IEP meetings - be prepared, be confident and bring the data. youtu.be/gNrHC7g26_w?si=wUp0…
Another mixed UI claims report. New #unemployment claims clicked upwards to 219,000 last week, highest level in 2 months. Big news is a drop in continued claims to 1.79 million, the first time it has been below 1.8 million in nearly two years (May 2024). dol.gov/ui/data.pdf

Here's my thread on Trump's budget request, which I'll update throughout the day
He calls to cut domestic discretionary to the lowest level in the modern era
Trump's budget reimagines Americans' relationship w/ our govt & proposes a country that does less to help people get by
ALT NDD less VA medical, 1986-present. roughly flat-ish until 2020 around 3%, and then down down down down to 2% last year. And then Trump is proposing taking it down to 1.7%.
Stettner said. "Even with this gain, we're just averaging about 68,000 jobs per month this year, and that's not enough to make up the ground that we really lost last year." #jobsreport usatoday.com/story/money/202…

Iran war will only make a grim
hiring outlook for the #unemployed worse. In advance of #jobsday, continued UI claims moving back up last week. open.substack.com/pub/andrew…
Yesterday, the Maryland AG released gut-wrenching video of the police shooting of Alex LaMorie. As the sponsor of the apartment complex where Alex was killed, The Autism Society of Maryland pledges that Alex's loss will not be in vein. patch.com/maryland/columbia/…

🚨 NEW from @Groundwork: Despite what you may have been told, we can't deregulate our way to housing affordability. The housing debate is badly missing the most critical piece: finance.

This is excellent @joonlee and worth a watch for every sports fan.
"For all of the president's populist bluster, the economy has shed 238,000 blue-collar jobs in manufacturing, mining and construction over the last year," said Andrew Stettner, senior director for economic security at National Employment Law Project. reuters.com/world/us/us-week…
New #unemployment claims have been below 225,000 for 5 straight weeks. Continued claims are actually up as the well of new jobs has run dry. The bad news for workers is that the President has tied the Fed's job creation hands. open.substack.com/pub/andrew…
New UI claims have been below 220,000 for 5 straight weeks. But continued claims are actually up as the well of new jobs has run dry. The bad news for workers is that the President has tied the Fed's hand by fouling up the fight against inflation. open.substack.com/pub/andrew…

California is better at fighting fraud than the nationwide average … Trump’s own administration's data backs that up!
Unemployment is up, but #unemployment claims are flat. That's bad news at a time of AI and job anxiety. #Econtwitter open.substack.com/pub/andrew…
February’s job numbers confirms that we are still in a dog sh!t job market. Jobs down, hiring locked down, long term #unemployment up, black workers in crisis. And we are not even in a recession.
