"One party only needs 44% of the national popular vote to maintain control over the legislature" sure is a statement about the state of American democracy
If Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act falls, Democrats might need to win the national popular vote by 5 to 6 points to take control of the House, via Nate Cohn

I know multiple people who reported their cars stolen just to have the cops accuse them of trying to commit insurance fraud so they didn't have to bother investigating. Then the victims had to fight w their insurance companies for months bc of this.

Cannot emphasize this enough.
On the whole, police don’t solve crimes for shit, and they don’t prevent crimes for shit. They are actively bad at both. The average Law & Order fan would be stunned to tears after following around real cops for a day.

Multiple times yesterday, Trump attacked decisions he made himself - because he can’t remember his first term.
He then told a Unabomber story as his own, when it was actually a story Jeffrey Epstein used to tell.
Mainstream media remains silent on his debilitating illness.

I'm about to do it. I'm about to say "imagine if Biden did this." I don't want to but I must, because it'd be very funny. Imagine if Biden said his uncle told him how brilliant the Unabomber was a decade before he was identified. Imagine the very funny NYT push notification you'd get on your phone.

This is amazing. Yesterday Trump claimed he talked to his uncle about how brilliant the Unabomber was when the Unabomber was a student of his at MIT.
The Unabomber never went to MIT, he was identified in 1996, and his uncle died in 1985.

you genuinely have to admire his brain. getting hammered 24/7 on Epstein? better fabricate a personal link to the Unabomber, specifically mentioning one of the prestigious universities where Epstein peddled his influence

Tapping the sign that says “NSF, NIH, and public investment into basic research are the real engines of US innovation”
Silicon Valley VCs sit atop a system where federal and state governments spent more on basic research of all kinds than most other countries in the world combined, and then take the ideas that come out of that and take it the last mile. An important function, but they disproportionately benefit.

The math on preventative health care for all is so blindingly obvious that everyone sees it except us. So we just keep paying the most money per capita for the worst outcomes and the most suffering, while for-profit health care manages its quarterly earnings.
This is how you know insurance companies are evil. The ROI on every single vaccine is orders of magnitude more than up front cost (think prevented cirrhosis, cancer, surgeries, hospitalizations, etc). The only reason they wouldn’t cover vaccines is if they don’t plan to cover the consequences either
Blue Cross Blue Shield of California is the sole health insurance company that has pledged to continue covering childhood vaccines even if the fraudulent ACIP that RFK Jr. installed stops recommending them.

we’ve totally normalized that he’ll interfere with private business if he’s not paid off. every legal expert said this suit was meritless.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
