Last week, the New York Times’ “Interesting Times” podcast asked, “Did women ruin the workplace?” The headline changed twice — but the real issue wasn’t the wording. It was the premise.
Women didn’t ruin the workplace. Capitalism did
When your debate centers on whether women should exist in public, you’ve already lost.

I don’t know if I’m ever going to get over Trump saying “big play coming up” on 2nd and 7.
Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Victoria’s husband has cystic fibrosis. Without health insurance, his medication costs $300,000 per year.
Republicans’ failure to extend ACA subsidies means that Victoria and her husband won't be able to afford their insurance.
These are the stakes for working people in this fight. We cannot cave.

Beshear finally joins the resistance.
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

A little more than four years ago, Zohran Mamdani went on a 15-day hunger strike in an effort to push politicians to provide debt relief for New York City cab drivers.
This act of resistance perfectly foreshadowed the socialist's current mayoral campaign.

Remarkable work here.

At the behest of corporate lobbyists, Trump's CFPB will block states from erasing medical debt from credit reports.
This comes as the GOP allows ACA subsidies to expire – which could cause millions to go uninsured and medical debt to skyrocket.
