To re-cap: 1. The Gov turned over 140,000 Vters data to Trump, said they "had to" 2. Prevents AG joining suit so now other ppl are protected but not Vermonters 3. Fed judge: no you didn't have to, and it may have been illegal 4. Gov calls concern from ppl "political drama" 🫠👍

Reminder for Maine GOP: on the low end, a tipped worker in Maine makes ~$37,500/year. The average income tax cut that HR 1 gives Mainers earning more than $817k/year is $37,540. Oh also, "no tax on tips" is temporary. The income tax cuts are permanent. spectrumlocalnews.com/me/maine/polit…

Transferring public funds to private entities won't fix Colorado's structural deficit.

The donor class doesn’t care if NYC has free and fast buses. What they want is to preserve their ability to buy elections. That's what their opposition to Zohran is really about. A vote for fast and free busses is a vote for (finally) free elections.

Duluth is the future

The president using the shutdown as a fake excuse to illegally starve 42 million people probably doesn't help

The costs in question:

time for Dirtroad Organizing to do their thing

It actually might help the left to have the Token Conservative assuaging moderates. Mayor Mamdani can make progress on his agenda while the center is disarmed. Meanwhile, living the outcomes of his policies will be a politics-defining experience for millions of working people.

take me too. please.

Tabbing away from my brother’s wedding photos to Google “best tacos near me” just really emblematic of where I’m at, broadly speaking
