When you need a break from doomscrolling through Epstein's emails, here's something uplifting: One of Europe's capital cities figured out how to reduce traffic deaths to .... zero. None. Not. A. Single. One.

Huh. Apparently cars don't have to kill people.
For a fast way to reduce traffic deaths: Just slow down.

I’ll say it: the Marjorie Taylor Greene defection seems like a big deal

MTG has a huge war chest compared to any current Republican challenger, and she’s hard to outrun on the right.

You maybe expect defections from the center but the folks on Trump’s right flank are maybe the best positioned

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.

Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.

You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Breaking: Trump just said on AF1 that he and Epstein had a bad relationship for many years, 'but he also saw strength because I was president.'

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

In the UK, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Epstein has led to total disgrace.

He's been stripped of his titles, reduced to the status of a pariah.

Nobody is defending him.

He's a TOTAL disgrace.

In America, Jeffrey Epstein's close mate, Donald Trump, remains the president.

Insane.

This is a core element of conservative philosophy: If a single "undeserving" person is getting a government benefit, the answer is to take it away from millions.*

Large population studies show that vaccinated kids have about a 70–80% lower risk of shingles compared to people who had natural chickenpox. No massive epidemics of shingles have been seen in the vaccinated generation now entering adulthood which tells you how protective the vaccine really is.
