The other day, Talarico leaned hard into the case for immigration as a positive good for our country in a way you rarely hear from Dems. He has a real theory of the case: Trump's cruelty and barbarism have opened space for new moral arguments, a new consensus. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2160...

The relative lack of fanfare that US troops' formal departure from Iraq is meriting from our national press, when compared with our departure from Afghanistan is ... notable. By contrast, it's the leading story on Deutsche Welle. Sometimes I really wonder about the US.

hopefully a longer essay about this later, but it's striking how familiar the situation of the japanese public during the russo-japanese war is. no at home experiences the war directly: they learn about it via what they read. and they are extremely active, extremely angry, and extremely misinformed.

The first few years of a child's life are the *most* critical in terms of brain development and setting the stage for future learning. Guaranteed safe, healthy, affordable childcare for all working parents is not only the best thing we could do for families, but literally for our nation's future.

Isn't it so cool how history can just start the moment you want it to? Imo, the GFC is just the fallout of the repeal of Glass-Steagall in '99, 9/11, and the first slashing of the fed funds rate to near zero. It's Alan Greenspan's world still. We're just living in it.

"..who seem to have a deep personal interest in this issue" This is fucking disgusting. It's clear what he's trying to coyly imply, but the reality is that 'personal interest' in this issue comes from women having been preyed upon in their younger years and not wanting to see it happen to others.

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
