In this Republican bastion, angst over Texas’ public education system has helped fuel Gina Hinojosa’s campaign, giving voters here one of the most competitive governor’s races they’ve seen in decades.

@chabeli.bsky.social with a big story out today about the $60B baby product market — and the grip it has on new parents. Surprising probably none of you: Americans account for roughly 10% of all global baby product revenue though it’s home to just 4% of the world population. How did we get here?

i didn’t know this and people who don’t follow politics closely likely don’t either. it’s a strong kicker but should a kicker be new information? anywho doing my part to highlight it here:
screenshot of the last paragraph on the New York Times latest story about max miller and the abuse allegations made against him that reads “Ms. Moreno is not the first woman to level domestic abuse allegations against Mr. Miller. In her memoir, Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary, wrote that she dated someone in the administration who was physically abusive. She later acknowledged that she had been referring to Mr. Miller.”
