West Virginia House Bill 4819 would reduce barriers that keep people with criminal records from getting licensed and finding stable work. By clarifying the rules, the bill supports rehabilitation and public safety. buff.ly/SnylZJY

These clips are remarkable and show the brittleness of Donald Trump's, Stephen Miller's, and Elon Musk's vision of the world when it meets up with a reality they can't control. I think DOGE is a good idea, but it needs to be done using people with local knowledge and expertise--such as @JessicaBRiedl, @veroderugy, and my colleagues at @ReasonFdn. The cause of shrinking the size, scope, and spending of government is set back when it is handed over to people who have no idea of what they are doing.

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.

One proven way to reduce recidivism is to make it easier for people released from prison to get homes and jobs. We’ve been working in a number of states on legislation to revamp occupational licensing rules to remove unnecessary exclusions of those with a criminal record. 1/2

Public school dollars are increasingly going to two things: teacher pension debt and non-teaching staff. That’s why teacher salaries are stagnant in many states despite record funding levels. Regarding staffing, it’s more than just “administrators.” Public schools have been adding instructional aides and student support staff (e.g. social workers, psychologists, SLPs, etc.) to their payrolls. Here’s what pre-pandemic growth looked like:

K-12 education spending has exploded higher while test scores have flatlined or fallen. At national level and in every state. Administrator vs teacher spending graph looks similar. Admin explodes higher, teacher wages flatlined. What else explains this abysmal performance?

One of the all-time great libertarian writers: a truly original, funny and principled guy. I HIGHLY recommend Radicals for Capitalism. It opened many intellectual doors for me and profoundly shaped my politics as I embarked on a career with Reason. Huge loss for Reason, liberty, and the many who loved him. RIP.
reason@reason

We are sad to report that Senior Editor Brian Doherty has died. Brian wrote six books, including "Radicals for Capitalism," a seminal history of the modern American libertarian movement. He had an inspiring commitment to covering the ways free people choose to live their lives, and he will be missed. A full obituary will appear soon at reason.com.
