On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

You can tell, with all of the explicit ethnic cleansing making everything worse and more expensive, the GOP's next target is just to go all out on gender wars. Everyone on X or Rumble is complaining about nagging women 24/7, with brief respites for holocaust denial. Full 4chan incel GOP incoming.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

The No Kings coalition wants everyone who is able to vote early. They will be preparing people to do so on October 17th, but early voting has already started in some states. If you are physically able & your state has early voting, please consider doing it for any of the good reasons listed below.

WHY VOTING EARLY MATTERS:
1. AVOID LONG LINES, AVOID LINES CAST YOUR BALLOT AND BE DONE.
2. RESOLVE REGISTRATION ISSUES. GIVES TIME TO CLEAR UP ANY ISSUES WITH YOUR STATUS.
3. HELP GOTV EFFORTS. ENABLES GET OUT THE VOTE TO FOCUS RESOURCES WHERE NEEDED MOST.
4. BANK YOUR VOTE. SECURE IT FROM LAST-MINUTE ILLNESSES, BAD WEATHER, OR OTHER SHENANIGANS.
5. REDUCE CAMPAIGNS MAIL. HELP CAMPAIGNS REMOVE YOU FROM TARGET LISTS, REDUCING UNWANTED OUTREACH.
7. PROTECT THE VOTE!! VOLUNTEER ON ELECTION DAY, HAVING ALRE3ADY SECURED YOUR OWN VOTE.
6. BUILD MOMENTUM. STRONG EARLY VOTE CREATES MOMENTUM THT IS “TOO BIG TO RIG” VOTE.ORG

the thing that stands out to me is less the Dem spread than the fact that the GOP seems stuck in the low 40s. if that holds, and if undecideds/double-haters break for Democratic candidates in the final stretch, you are looking at a total collapse for the congressional GOP

USDA cyclospora research projects shelved amid funding cuts and relocations
The shuttering of three projects is expected to hinder vital research at a time when consumers are increasingly worried about the safety of the food supply.

The Trump administration is shuttering research projects key to the federal government’s fight against cyclospora, the foodborne parasite sickening thousands of Americans this summer.

Two of the three projects that represent nearly all of the Agriculture Department’s study of the parasite were defunded by Congress earlier this year, according to the agency. The third is slated to move from Maryland to Iowa this fall as part of a sweeping USDA reorganization. Even though that project still has money, every scientist working on the parasite has declined to relocate, according to three people familiar with the plans and documents shared with POLITICO, granted anonymity to discuss personnel issues.
