It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch
The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

so far during trump's second term, when democrats have "increased the salience of immigration," this has had the effect of significantly decreasing trump's approval rating. effect is moderated through rising negative press coverage of trump's immigration policy

WOW -- a screaming Patel crashes out in response to Schiff's questions about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and calls him "the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" and "an utter coward" and "political buffoon"

If you think antivax lunatic RFK Jr. "makes good points" about COVID and vaccination, you can say so.
If you think the Trump administration's egregious rights violations are bad, you keep that out of the paper, don't be biased.

I am very much "Blue no matter who" but if these nasty folks gain influence in the DNC/legislature, you can find me with the DSA nerds.
Moderation if not overrated — if progressive advocacy groups and elected Democrats generally acknowledged the existence of a moderation bonus, even a small one, it would totally change how politics is conducted.

If this stuff doesn't end with prison sentences this country might as well stop pretending it functions
Despite being American citizens, three children — a 4-year-old boy with Stage 4 kidney cancer, his 7-year-old sister and a 2-year-old girl — were detained with their families by immigration authorities in Louisiana and quickly sent to Honduras, according to a lawsuit.
ICE sent 3 U.S. citizen children, including boy with cancer, to Honduras with their deported moms
An immigration group filed a lawsuit on behalf of two families, saying they were not given access to legal counsel before two mothers and their children were sent to Central America.

Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.
