If you live near an Ocean State Job Lot store, they're currently collecting donations to help Alaskans displaced by the recent typhoon... indigenous villagers who've been moved to urban centers because their homes were destroyed.

This is enraging.
Despite a long history of interations with her family, CT DCF had no contact with them for the last 2 years of this poor girl's life. She was apparently starved and murdered by her mom. 😞
It's unbelievable to me how often DCF lets down kids who are at risk.

Chuck and Hakeem are awful at messaging... Why aren't Dems using AOC's talking points (which make clear how the end of ACA credits will impact premiums)?
This NY Times commenter on @steverattner.bsky.social's Op-Ed makes a similar point.
