Sometimes I wish Brian Lehrer on @wnyc.org wouldn't refer to progressive and redistributive taxation on corporations and high income earners as a "tax hike." Reductive and generalizing.

I would love to read an article about how the NY Times abetted the Epstein coverup. There are probably enough disgruntled ex-employees floating around that you could start piecing it together.

Josh needs to connect a few more issues to his campaign platform.
I support public school choice plans but school choice has never been a cure-all.
If there’s one argument I’ve tried to drill home it’s this:
School choice—especially vouchers—is subject to the same economic, political, and geographic constraints as every other policy.

It does and yet I'm not sure enough people have the means to understand why.
feels relevant today
we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:
Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

Under Schumer's leadership, eight Democrats (Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, King, Rosen, & Shaheen) joined the Republicans in moving forward a bill to reopen the government without ACA subsidies—Dems' stated key aim—or any other real concessions from the status before the shutdown.
