I'm not running to bow to a corporation. I'm not running to raise your utility rates or help them do it. I'm not running so that your premium goes up and everybody looks the other way. I'm running to fight for you.

Polling in Texas shows that GOP efforts to ridicule Talarico over his religious convictions as a Presbyterian seminarian have backfired, with voters viewing him as a person of good moral character—particularly when contrasted with his Southern Baptist opponent Ken Paxton, who obviously is not.

It may not be enough for James Talarico to win. But might it also be a sign of a change to come?

New: Trump’s abrupt announcement to send $90 payments to seniors by dipping into a Medicare fund has rattled Capitol Hill. One GOP aide told WaPo that lawmakers had planned to use the money to offset funding for community health centers, diabetes programs and other initiatives.

This scandal should enter the national debate over data centers. Meta evaded $4B in taxes last year by using the "research" tax credit for its data center buildout. Tax accountants say it's highly questionable, the Congressional sponsor says buying supplies was never what was intended.

Trump officials may end weekly CDC reporting from 15,000 nursing homes on COVID, flu, RSV cases, hospitalizations, & vaccines because tracking outbreaks feels “burdensome.” Sure, let’s make nursing-home outbreaks harder to see. What could possibly go wrong? #GOPWarOnHealthcare
