I don't know if it was motivated by disgust at Elon Musk and his attempt to buy an election or if access to healthcare, fair electoral maps and general sanity in the state supreme court brought people out to vote. Probably a bit of both, but whatever the reasons, I am proud of my home state today.

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous.
Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

The fact that you can't really narrow down who killed the United Healthcare CEO by looking at family members of those who died after being denied coverage because of the large number of them, also means we shouldn't be looking too hard either.

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.

I don’t want to throw shade, but I would like the folks who kept telling us that there’s no evidence pervasive mis- and disinformation have negative impacts to account for the likelihood that prominent spreaders of BS will be running the agencies that protect public health, intelligence, etc.
Meanwhile Ladapo's partner in anti-vaccination group America's Frontline Doctors, Stella Immanuel, says she's been nominated to join RFK Jr.'s staff.
She's the one who claims alien DNA is being used in medical treatments and that fibroids are caused by demon sperm.

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

The one where we do see a massive step change? It's the massive disconnect between what folks say about their own financial situation vs "the economy" (local & national). That's entirely consistent with what they've heard about "the economy" in the media in that period, esp. in conservative media.

The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.
