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

80% of convicted drug traffickers were US citizens in 2024. Trump wants to convince you that he can murder enough foreigners to end overdoses, but he cannot. It is an alternate reality. Citizens pay for drugs to be brought here and they go get and distribute them. Will he start murdering them too?

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Also, even the idea of a single national identity for most European countries is relatively new, despite the claim of these "ancient nations."
As of 1794, only 11% of people in France spoke French as a first language, and nearly half didn't speak French or spoke it poorly.

“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?”

Trump says we're overrun by "illegals." He's manifested those fever dreams into reality through a “de-documentation” campaign, stripping legal immigrants of their visas & work permits.
He's not targeting criminals; he's criminalizing immigrants who follow the law.

Parents of the child who died of measles have joined RFK-founded Children's Health Defense. Anti-vaccine groups excel at swooping in for tragedy, offering parents a cause.
“Don’t do the shots,” her mother said, measles is “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.”
