If private capital threatens to flee because of it, then we must dramatically increase public capital. We have done that before — in fact it’s the way we created our modern industrial base.
But simply doing nothing and continuing as we have been is not acceptable.

Exercise is good. Nutrition matters. Prevention matters.
However, turning food into something you have to earn or feel guilty about isn’t health, it’s ideology.

What a mess! Wyoming has some of the least competitive ACA markets in the country. In places like Teton County, there has often been only one ACA insurer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming). That lack of competition drives prices way up. This is ridiculous.

I don’t think I’m being alarmist. If anything, I worry that we’ve become so inured to Trump’s madness that we’re not alarmist enough.

You know how Tom McClintock avoids facing his constituents and only hosts sham town halls, at best? Well, I'm very excited to announce our Town Hall Tour! Over the coming weeks and months, I will be visiting communities throughout the district. I hope you will join me at a venue near you.

Should have learned from their forebears that trying to invade the North in winter goes poorly
It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

ACA subsidies expire in three weeks. There remains no direction from Capitol Hill as to the future of healthcare in America. The urgency has never been so great. It's time to protect healthcare and lower premiums for all.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Jeffries is useless
There was a tweet some years back that was like "Being a Democrat is like going to a concert where the band is telling everyone to calm down the whole time" and I think about it a lot
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
