Stakes coming in focus over the last 24 hours: 1) RFK Jr. says Trump “promised me” control of the HHS and Ag. 2) Trump confirms he's giving Elon Musk permission to cut up to $2 trillion in spending. 3) Mike Johnson says they'll kill Obamacare.

A commenter at Citation Needed suggested I have not adequately explained why I support Kamala Harris, and why I believe it is absolutely critical that everyone who can vote comes out to vote for her. In case I have indeed not been clear, here is my response. PLEASE vote.

I feel like it should be bigger news that the GOP Speaker of the House and the GOP Vice Presidential nominee have both committed to repealing protections for pre-existing conditions—they want us to go back to a world where you can get denied health insurance because you’re sick

Jesus Christ. Congress could easily end this collective action problem by blocking cities from spending on sports stadiums. And it should.

My hot take is that people need to stop thinking of care homes as these evil horrific entities. If your elderly, sick parent requires round the clock nursing care with qualified professionals, and you plan to attend your place of work, it is really the only option

... if you think rape is bad, you will already oppose Trump. If you don't, what could I possibly say to reach you? I don't understand your moral universe, your basic precepts. We are different in a way so fundamental that I literally don't know how to speak to you.

Green parties in Europe are calling for Jill Stein to withdraw.   The race for the White House is too close for comfort. We call on her to withdraw from the race & endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States.   Read the full statement here ⬇️ europeangreens.eu/news/us-electi…

ProPublica found four women now who've died because of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, exposing two central problems with the press: 1. ProPublica found them and not the New York Times 2. Joe Biden's 'garbage' comment can lead the evening news but not these women's deaths

All the SF NIMBYs who still call SF the "Paris of the west" should take note. Actual Paris makes physical changes to their streets to make walking, biking and transit the priority, and we should too.

This is one of the reasons I’m voting Ryan Khojasteh for District Attorney. I think you should, too.

Just a reminder that this is what will happen in multiple states as the first votes are counted and then the mail with more votes trickles in.

This is ridiculous. Biden was the most pro-labor president in 60 yrs. His stimulus plan was targeted to get people back to work. Working-class people saw their real wages grow faster than any other group. Dems did not abandon the working class. The working class abandoned them.

To understand the reason why inflation is so politically deadly for incumbents, you need to understand what I call it the “my raise, not my inflation” dichotomy. 1/4

are the "your body my choice" posts from Trump supporters a winning message? weird how liberals and only liberals have to tailor every utterance towards winning people over while conservatives get to just let it all hang out

I want to say again, as a person with a Computer Science degree who is generally hugely in favour of technical solutions to social problems: No computer voting machine system that our civilisation can deploy is better than paper ballots

If you wanna know why California has a housing shortage you can observe all the local politicians having a five alarm meltdown at the idea of a building going up in an expensive urban beach neighborhood that has built virtually nothing for decades

astonishing how whenever you go to the post office the queue in front of you is made up almost entirely of people who appear to have ended up at the post office by accident, have in fact never visited a post office before, and have no idea what they want out of the experience

Hi Gavin Newsom. This is what climate leadership looks like.

Hi Gavin Newsom, just in case you were unaware, you can (and should) do this too!
