If they actually cared about children the way they claim to, there’d be this much outrage for what’s happening to children being gunned down in school, the horror happening in Gaza and the terrorizing of immigrant families.
Pay attention to who they think deserves compassion.

What does a booming economy mean? Take my state, Texas: It's got strong growth, increasing population, low unemployment, but also low income, high poverty, and low credit scores.

Zohran raised a lot less money than you'd expect given his vote share and educated coalition - he barely outraised Lander!
His prioritization of persuasion over fundraising in his public facing communication was extremely unusual and more Democrats should follow his lead!

2003 antiwar protests were the largest in US history. And that was after 9/11, under a popular president, and while most people believed the WMDs lie. Completely different conditions today. I believe the antiwar movement will be big. And I believe it will win.

🧵 To make this more concrete: don't assume Trump himself knows what he is going to do next in in the Israel-Iran conflict. He definitely doesn't want to get the US involved in a major war in the Middle East (that much he's been clear on). But he loves to bomb and look tough. 1/
The poor communication, lack of trust, and awkward history in this group, plus Trump’s own track record, should give anyone who thinks they know what happens next a very long pause.
Vice President JD Vance, Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine, and top aides gathered at the White House earlier, CNN reports. Rubio has been keeping Trump informed.

This is a very sobering reminder of why the U.S. president's words matter, why normal administrations of both parties carefully vet those words, why presidential statements are often bland or overworked, and why Trump's posting himself on an insecure phone with no staff work is extremely dangerous.

A lot of things clicked into place for me once I realized that, for a lot of journalists, podcasters, and popular nonfiction writers, "research" means "reading books other people already wrote."
I get why publishers love the "untold story" framing, but I still really hate it.
Whether this book is a good re-telling of Elizabeth Van Lew's story, I don't know.
But the idea that it's "untold" is insulting to the historians who've told it many times before.🗃️
