I remember when my mom, who’s in her 70s, and I heard Kamala Harris announce her care-at-home plan. We were so excited. She even explained it was cheaper than hospital care. To us, it felt like someone was actually planning to make healthcare better.
Now look where we are.

It says a lot about the times we live in that the White House was probably genuinely surprised there was actual pushback from GOP re: Trump’s racist Obama post. They’d grown so complacent in their de rigueur racism.
