In addition to being a YesAllWomen moment, this makes me concerned about the attentiveness of her security detail
Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

This is a massive swing left for BA legislature. This previously longtime Republican body has been basically almost split even for about a decade, with a sometimes small D majority of a seat or two. +12 is radical departure
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Let White People Be the Face of Trump’s Hunger Crisis—Opinion
Black suffering has never moved this country to act. Maybe seeing white families skip meals will finally make us admit that food insecurity isn’t fate—it’s a choice politicians keep making.

Man. 60 Minutes does such important work. Investigative journalism for a mass audience from a trusted source is rare indeed in today’s U.S.
What will become of CBS News and 60 Minutes?
It’s far too early to say, but a segment on last week’s show isn’t encouraging.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
