There are now speed cameras at basically every light on Ocean Parkway and drivers still speed like no one’s watching. Huge Gravesend fan, though—don’t let Ocean Parkway keep you away!
Ocean Parkway is just insanely wide; I can't imagine having to put up with this everyday.
I enjoyed checking out this part of Gravesend in Brooklyn yesterday, but shepherding young kids back and forth across all of these lanes of traffic sounds miserable.

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

Very much worth noting (with thanks to @sarahtaber.bsky.social’s excellent video on the topic) that “farm bankruptcy” is very often not the depression-era image of people losing their generational land but rather well to do landowners discharging their debts (especially post 2019)
"In the first six months of 2025, there were 57% more farm bankruptcies than during the same period last year, according to United States Courts."

Generations work on family farms. With costs high and prices low, farmers worry they may lose it all.
Generations have worked family farms in the U.S. Now, with costs high, prices low and tariffs causing additional difficulties, farmers say they're at risk of losing it all.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

I asked this last time we were doing affordability discourse and I’m not being combative or anything, I genuinely want to know: I need an economy-knower to explain whether/why this chart is wrong
Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Can confirm. He's on the phone right now.
I'm leaving a message with my senators in #mapoli Mass. If they don't call on Schumer to resign, then it's tacit agreement with the decision. Voting no isn't enough if you don't call for consequences for selling out the American people; then you agree with the decision, and he is covering for you

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
