Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

After watching Maddow's show on Japanese internment in the 1940s, promising we would never let it happen again, it's insidious to think that all of us are paying for the current detention camps in Texas and elsewhere. We are spending our tax dollars (billions) & are therefore complicit, again.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

The situation with childhood vaccines is really fucking me up, as someone who has a tiny baby to take care of now. Like we’ve already been through several medical scares with her, and I don’t want to do that again. I’m getting her vaccinated for everything, but she’s too young for the MMR

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not. This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

If federal workers have to go without a paycheck and Americans are having SNAP benefits cut off, members of Congress who can’t keep the government open should not be paid, either.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Larry Ellison is worth roughly $400 billion. Elon Musk is worth roughly $385 billion. Meanwhile, the minimum wage is still $7.25/hour, 86% of Americans stress over grocery prices, and most are living paycheck to paycheck.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.

Today it’s 0.7%.

Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

@charlierosesmith3807
As a gen Z American, here's my two cents on the take that our generation can't handle delayed gratification: we've watched the promise of "delayed gratification" fail Gen X and Millennials repeatedly in real time because we've had access to the internet since childhood.
In elementary and middle school, I watched in real time on TV and online as Gen X had their entire life savings wiped out by the 2008-2009 depression, and as a teenager and college kid I've seen Millennials get absolutely shafted by jobs and degrees that went in promising them stable lives and then repeatedly ripped the rug out from under them, leaving millennials with no solid career progression or economic betterment to show after over a decade of consistent effort. Even outside of the internet, I've watched my grandfather, who was a computer programmer at IBM in the 60s, have his pension retroactively canceled after being a pensioner for decades, and I've watched this man in his 80s who's had two heart attacks have to go back to work 4 days of the week as an Uber driver to make ends meet, after he spent three decades of his life in a high paid office job that promised him healthcare and pension and the entire American dream.
I don't have it in me to put up with the same shit. Maybe it's bratty and short sighted, but l've watched enough people older than me have enough of their decades of life ripped from them with the false promises of later rewards, so to my mind saying "this will pay off for you in the future" means you're not actually planning on paying out, you're hoping you can take advantage of my patience and goodwill.
Pay me my rewards now, or I'll assume you'll never intend to actually reward me.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
