given rising global populism — and tendency to demonize people with little power in society — worth reflecting that the hero in Australia's mass shooting was a Syrian refugee, and the key witness in the Brown University shooting was a homeless man

A month ago, the NYT let Brooks write an op-ed telling people to move on from Epstein, dismissing claims Epstein ran a "sex-abuse ring", and defending his pals: "I know a thing or two about the American elite..but the phrase 'the Epstein class' is inaccurate, unfair and irresponsible." Guess not. 8/

Not sure if these figures are correct, but TOTAL emergency service spending (the bulk of healthcare spending for this group) on undocumented immigrants between 2017-2023 was $27B, or $6B a year. To put that into context, oil companies receive about $35B per year in subsidies.
The White House getting in the Christmas spirit by blaming the most vulnerable members of society for the suffering Trump is responsible for.

Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs.
The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.
