In all of the big news today, don't overlook today's PA voting rights victory. This would have resulted in 10,000 more votes being counted in 2022 and 5,000 in 2024.

Republicans have fought us at every turn to throw out these votes. But today we won for our clients--DSCC and DCCC--and PA voters.

‘“The loss of this [#NIH] research could very well result in a resurgence of HIV that becomes more generalized in this country,” said Julia Marcus, a professor at Harvard Medical School.’

USFS Ranger Station’s DOGE closure will strand WA workers & yields fuzzy math:

“DOGE claims the government will save $1,453,106 based on Pomeroy’s ranger station, even though the lease is around $181,000 a year.

It’s unclear how the government would save over a million dollars from that lease.”

The US has blood on their hands😫
The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

Holy shit. This is scary.

Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote.

$2 TRILLION IN CUTS.

Take Action!🗣️Urge President Biden to instruct the US Archivist to certify and publish the ERA in the Constitution!

Trump refused to publish the Equal Rights Amendment.

Biden can do what Trump wouldn't do to protect women. Biden can publish the ERA now.

Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s hoping that discussions of food will override discussions of politics (because I know my side will look so much better when the dust settles). Why argue when there’s pie?

Coming to Texas via our fascist overlords. It pays to be a rich religious christofascist here, meanwhile real xtians helping migrants get sued. Maybe they should read those Bibles they are pushing.
Northeast Academy is a small Christian school in rural NC.

Last school year, it received $438,500 from the state-funded private school voucher program.

As of 2022, “the school’s enrollment was 99% white in a county that runs about 40% white.”

This is their plan for America. 👀
