Wow β Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.
Appreciate @nationalacademies.org speaking up about the RFK jr directed changes to CDC website and pointing out that the science cited did not include the greater context or full body of research. Where is the βradical transparencyβ?

We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.
All the independent journalists out there need to save this opinion. It gives you a road map on how to handle denied or ignored FOIA requests if you donβt have access to a legal department to do it for you.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone β period.
This is one of the most positive and hope-inspiring signs that incoming Mamdani administration will be even more impactful and meaningful than the campaign was.

There's a piece to be written about the gendering of cooking inside the home (women's work) and outside the home (manly chefs ruling the kitchen with an iron fist), and also what it took to re-gender home cooking to the extent this has happened (the art of cooking becomes the chemistry of cooking).
