Vital City is proud this week to release our new issue, “400 Million Guns (or More): The Supply Side of America’s Firearm Problem.” It’s chock full of insightful perspectives and policy ideas about how to meaningfully reduce violence given all the firearms out there. Thread.

Brendan O’Flaherty and @rajivatbarnard propose a policy framework for treating guns more like cars — with licensing, liability and traceability. vitalcitynyc.org/articles/when-…

Today, @realDonaldTrump (@WhiteHouse) signed an executive order on drug pricing. Thank you to everyone who pointed out that @shoshievass, Pierre Dubois, and I looked at this sort of policy in our paper. A quick thread on the main results with some important nuance.

Politicians have long called for using reference pricing rules to control US drug prices, but such rules may do more to raise prices abroad than lower them in the US, from Pierre Dubois, @ashdgandhi, and @shoshievass nber.org/papers/w30053

Make that 2-0!!! Way to close out the game and another timely defensive play from Mikal. Game 3 in *THE* Garden will be absolutely electric. Let’s go Knicks!!!


Have to tip my hat to Mikal Bridges, shot 3/13 tonight but affected the game through his defense. Played 51/53 minutes (inclusive of overtime). Everyone chipped in tonight for this well-deserved win. Let’s go Knicks!!!

Great to see this finally in (almost) print. We show some novel evidence that hit temperatures affect the well-being of US children through increases in maltreatment. Not a good thing given climate change.

Hot temperatures lead to increases in alleged and substantiated maltreatment of young children. Just Accepted new paper by Mary F. Evans (@mfranevans), Ludovica Gazze (@LudoGazze), and Jessamyn Schaller (@JessamynSchall1) zurl.co/aI03r



Welp, Pistons fans. That was a cute little series, but we’re going to move on to the next round and you have flights to Cancun that you absolutely must make. Don’t forget to give yourself enough time to get to the airport. More importantly though, LET’S GO KNICKS!!!


Captain. CLUTCH!!!!!!!


My goodness Mikal Bridges! Let’s go Knicks!


Let’s. Go. KNICKS!!!

kept fighting 😤
