It was Miami Herald local reporter Julie Brown @jkbjournalist.bsky.social who actually covered the Epstein story and blew it wide open. She cared about the victims and Epstein's crimes, not access.
National outlets not only didn't, they refused to. They thought it was tawdry and beneath them.

National on various policy areas:

Health: costs too much. Cut it.
Climate action: Costs too much. Cut it.
Pay equity: Costs too much. Cut it.
Prisons. "The cost will be what the cost will be"

Are you contributing to inequity? 🧵
When your instacart shopper can't find your specific requests, they have often gone to extraordinary measures to attempt to find what you asked for. Shoppers will go to great lengths to find items because every item not found negatively impacts their statistics.

Starmer's Labour really are becoming the perfect far-right clone, down to the duplicitous double-speak. They are completely beyond redemption. Vote @greenparty.org.uk!

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent.

Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there!

It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.
This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

No matter what the reason having people being laid off is a failure on the leadership. If our industry "restructure" and get rid of so many PEOPLE then Maybe CEOs should be the first to go because these bitches suck at their jobs.

Crystal Dynamics has laid off another 30 workers in a restructuring today, making this the third wave of layoffs this year. https://bit.ly/49RmDBg

Hot tip:
Delivery drivers can see how little you tip before they accept an offer. If you frequently tip less than the delivery charge and your offers don't get picked up very quickly, it's because nobody wants to take them because nobody wants to work for basically free.

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

MAGA will not work to lower costs...any costs for working Americans. The only thing they are interested in lowering is taxes for the morbidly wealthy.
Democrats squandered leverage for nothing

I dunno why, but today feels like the last day of the DNC in 2016 where the committee leadership just told the people to shut the fuck up because they didn't have to carry out the will of the voters. The committee's candidate lost btw.
