Remember: An estimated 70% of congressional Republicans may financially benefit from the tax cuts in their Big Ugly Bill.
While cutting Medicaid and food stamps for millions — including many of their own constituents — these lawmakers may be enriching themselves.

The annoying thing about Larry Summers is that he will not get anywhere near the heat and scrutiny for this as anyone else would for something like listing their pronouns in a syllabus.

These cowards could have been doing this the whole time, instead of giving Trump and everyone around him a free pass to make any false claim they wanted, no matter how ridiculous.
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

I really did not enjoy Jay Bhattacharya & Matthew Memoli’s screed against pandemic & virology research for the flagship blog of a “free-market think tank." Instead of getting mad, I accepted @jeremyfaust.bsky.social's kind invitation to take a factual & scientific blowtorch to it.

This is how predators work. In the initial emails, he thinks he can still fuck her, and describes her willingness as:
* listened to the comments of a LEADING ECONOMIST IN THE FIELD about her presentation
* didn't object when he commented on her outfit
* let him whine about his marriage.
* listened to the comments of a LEADING ECONOMIST IN THE FIELD about her presentation
* didn't object when he commented on her outfit

The sense I am getting through all of this is that Larry Summers used his position to get a substantially junior colleague to listen to him whine about his marriage, then tried to get her to “have a drink with him” and stormed off when she was like no thanks I have a presentation tomorrow.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

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.
