Y'all don't believe the "shithole" hype. Oaxaca has felt incredibly safe, the locals are amazing and accommodating, and the mole is unto godliness. Should be strongly considered for a visit.

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Now measles is back.
He is a threat to our health and must be fired immediately.

We can’t lose sight of this:
When people lose insurance because Republicans failed to fund health care tax credits for the ACA, EVERYONE’s insurance goes up.
Doesn’t matter if you get health insurance on your own or through your employer.

When the Secretary of Health and Human Services spreads doubt about vaccines based on no evidence, there are consequences.
We are on the verge of losing our measles elimination status.
It’s a failure of leadership.

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. 🧵

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

States' rights suddenly don't matter if they mean to save people from dying from starvation.
The Trump administration told states in a late-night Saturday memo that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, adding to the chaos surrounding the anti-hunger program. Here’s a timeline of the SNAP developments that led up to this point.
