Socialist game developer in Los Angeles. Flipper of tables and crafter of artful profanity. Viewpoints are my own. Punctuation atrocious by design; hyphens and em dashes are used interchangeably, and semicolons are just commas with jaunty hats. No regerts.

Very refreshing to see a left wing politician not treat this question like some kind of minefield that needs to be carefully negotiated

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Stephen Miller watched PCU and thought David Spade was the good guy.

Hell yes. Just remember that negating CU is going to require getting corporatist Dems to fall in line, and primarying those who won't.

Big Tents and Big Ideas aren't mutually exclusive, as long as we don't fall back into the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" trap.

This is the difference between being "Pro-Labor" instead of merely "Pro-Union". "Pro-Labor" means supporting new sectors of the workforce in their endeavors to organize, while "Pro-Union" just means paying lip service to the existing power structures already in place.

Moderate Democrats take note.

Last week I went to my GP, seeking an MRI for a bad sprain that I was worried was a tear. I had already gone to Urgent Care and gotten X-rays.

She refused to refer me to the MRI, and instead told me to just take more ibuprofen. She said if I really wanted an MRI, I should go to the ER instead.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
atrupar.com
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
