The president spent trillions of dollars extending tax breaks for the wealthiest 1% and handed a $40 billion bailout to Argentina.
But he refuses to extend ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford health care.
It’s cruel and callous.

Regular reminder for folks reporting on federal courts that there are two different Judges Ho (Dale / SDNY, James / 5th Cir), with two different judicial philosophies. Remember it this way:
When your Judge Ho is Dale, your claims might not fail.
When your Judge Ho is Jim, your chances are grim.

Former mayoral aide Mohamed Bahi just got 3 years' probation for organizing straw donations for Eric Adams
Judge Ho called the tossed corruption case against the mayor the “elephant in the room”
“It is hard to escape the impression that Mr. Bahi is left here holding the bag”

Gee, how do you strengthen the US’s weak party system when party leadership can’t dole out ministry appointments and manage party lists?
Violence. Threaten violence.

The point of libraries is not to generate revenue, but economic benefits are a nice bonus. This info. is similar to findings in other studies. Despite that, funders tend to think they're niceties that can easily be cut. For many members of the public, they're a lifeline.

At the onset of a career in journalism, I was taught a hard rule that one should never put himself in the story: You are the teller, not the tale.
Editors told us the rule prioritized the subject of our work. Olivia Nuzzi makes it plain we were being protected from showing the world our assholes.
