“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Lots of walking this weekend. Knocked out a bunch of podcasts knocked out. A bit chilly this morning running to the gym. Elliptical warm up. Chest & arms. Incline treadmill. I’ll take this weather for the next 3 months.

Took the last couple of days off. Not sleeping again. Walking around exhausted. I’m thinking I’ll have no problem sleeping tonight.

Went into the chiropractor yesterday. Ran some stretching and movement tests. She’s pretty sure I either slipped a disc and it is now pinching a nerve or a nerve is pinching against most likely my spine. Wont know for sure until X Ray / MRI. But apparently they could see some kind of swelling or 1/2

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

Jim, great to have you back!
Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

These data are interesting if you read all of it & not just the top line. For me, it emphasizes how important organizing is and what has happened to the electorate in the absence of long term organizing/civil society institutions from center to left.
This is why Kamala Harris really lost
Turnout among young people and immigrants was too high for the party’s own good, according to Democratic data analyst David Shor.
