We are the first generation that has sufficient resources to put a roof over every head, a meal on every table, to provide education and basic health care to all, and to care for the planet. Yet we don't. You have to ask yourself what's wrong with us?

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault
Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

Elections in NH are always close. That is why we are considered ‘purple’. I am not basing this on any data, just what I hear and know from folks around our state, and I believe Pappas will eke it out. #NHPolitics. apnews.com/article/demo...

Democrats want a blue wave. New Hampshire is Exhibit A for why that may not happen
Five weeks before Election Day, Democratic optimism is soaring. But glaring vulnerabilities threaten to undermine the unstoppable blue wave that Democrats believe is coming.

Just want to remind people that there was nothing wrong with the evidence Fani Willis had gathered in her investigation. She identified crimes and the criminals have not been punished. That's what Republican rule means.

Just because the speech and debate clause allows GOP senators to lie in a hearing doesn't mean they are not committing a crime. It just means they can't be prosecuted for it.

Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that the people involved in this farce are criminals trying to destroy the reputation of a good man to cover up their crimes. We are nowhere near angry enough.

GOP senators didn't just make fools of themselves yesterday. What they were trying to do was evil, and morally repugnant, and contrary to the rule of law and their oath of office. We shouldn't lose sight of how low they have fallen.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

It is a sad reflection of the democratioc system in the USA that when we talk about a historical "Blue wave" and Republicans being "wiped out" the composition of the House and senate would be no more than 52% or 53% Democratic.

The company may have spent about $18,182 per person eligible to vote in White Plains—$200,000 to contest a UAW effort involving 11 workers. The institutional test is whether a collective-choice process remains meaningful when one side can deploy that scale of resources against worker representation.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.
