Today, New Mexico launched its universal childcare initiative. Last month I wrote about it for Roosevelt Institute -- historic state endeavors like this should show lawmakers at all levels of government that Americans are sick and tired of waiting for bold action on childcare. shorturl.at/Sm2tZ

A lot is being said about #crypto in Washington right now. The Senate has markup planned soon on the second bill in a planned trilogy. What’s it about and why should you care? I’ve broken down why we all need to be paying attention via @rooseveltinstitute.org's blog. Let me dive in. 🧵

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

In a functioning democracy, reliable information is a right, not a privilege. But when institutions critical to a healthy democracy are defunded and privatized, their democratic purpose atrophies. This is what we've seen over the past several decades, as media concentration has intensified.

Today, it's estimated that just a handful of private companies control 90% of the media. Driving the decisions made by these media giants is a need to make their bottom lines as fat as possible, not the imperative of an informed public or the cultivation of discussion & deliberation.

Not sure that combining mass deportations, whack a mole tariffs, slashing taxes for billionaires and mass government firings / destruction of govt functions is the best anti inflation / full employment agenda. But ok.
