Election was not about losses on the left: - Harris disproportionately lost moderate & conservative voters won by Biden, not liberals - No big loss of liberals in the electorate & no big migration to 3rd parties - Moderate House & Senate candidates outperformed prez candidates

For the record - because several people have asked me abt this story - our dept has not had any meetings discussing internships. And Im happy to help our students find internships in Rep. Moulton's office and every Rep's office, regardless of their political views.

I'm no expert on healthcare, but I can imagine two political economy angles: 1) The medical community will fight these changes with all they've got. 2) Will cutting this spending lead to hospital closures in low-income / rural areas?
