Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

Just finished reading Jonathan Metzl's book summarizing a decade or so of research showing that by adopting policies targeting minorities, white people in conservative states end up doing more damage in aggregate terms to their white lower and middle class white populations. Interesting read!

📌I can't stop banging this drum: Democrats had a spectacular Tuesday at the polls, the wind at their backs, and basically punched themselves and their voters in the face five days later. This is political malpractice at best, and out and out brazen capitulation to their billionaire donors at worst.
