Gov. Shapiro: We’re going to go as far as we can to show that we believe in science, to protect access to vaccines. If RFK tries to take something away from our public health system here in Pennsylvania, as he has… I sued and won. We’re going to stand up for science and stand up against RFK Jr.

Congress needs to audit the White House and cut funding controlled by the president to the bone. What’s the minimum budget required for him to be housed, fed, and staffed to do the basics of the job? That should be his annual budget. Let him ask Congress for more as he needs it.

Oligarchic opposition to universal health-care left us sick, with un- or undertreated illnesses and missed opportunities for prevention that left us with overlapping, population-scale health crises. All of this is debt that must be repaid: we can't walk away from it through bankruptcy.

I'm talking about *fiscal* debt: the solar we didn't build, the carbon we emitted instead; the rail we didn't build, the wildly inefficient aviation we substituted; the walkable, livable, transit-oriented cities we didn't build, the car-choked disasters we built instead.

All of this has the potential to yield a second peace-dividend prosperity. A post-oligarch world can recover industrial capacity by diverting it away from destructive activity (data centers, luxury housing) to essential functions (climate defenses, decent housing for everyday people).

As seas rise, we're going to have jobs for every person who is willing, building sea defenses and moving whole coastal cities inland. Two generations of neoliberalism has left us with massive shortages of housing stock, crumbling highways, inadequate schools and hospitals.
