Energy & Commerce text is out. Will go through it in this thread.

tl;dr: this'd be the largest Medicaid cuts in history, kicking millions off their health insurance, leading to tens of thousands of additional deaths each year

LOTS of bad stuff in this (but the very worst policy did not make it in)

It’s a great article, almost perfect the issue is it uses “the left” when it should say “working class families”.

Biden was good when he reminded us all that Democrats center working families and their needs. “The left” narrows their appeal and is less accurate than wcf. Not left but Democratic.

Anyone remember an academic study analyzing the Harris Walz campaigns change in message from working class to “opportunity economy”?

Bluesky needs bookmarks.

I remember this commercial! Thanks for sharing it. Good call with the lines!

Thinking about Rep Nancy Mace’s lies about a handshake and remembering the time “antifa” spray painted “Pass the PRO Act” but she never released footage from her doorbell cam.

Or when her car was damaged/keyed but Nordstrom Rack video showed nothing.

I’m being hyperbolic, clearly he should commit seppuku.

He’s a dumbass for not having googled it. The rest of the point still stands.

Would have been his job.

He should’ve googled it before tweeting, but he’s not an elected official. He’s just some dude.

Fair, but I’m not really talking about him in particular.

Tim Ryan text about “while he’s at it. He should pardon every single person serving a nonviolent weed conviction.”

It’s not Tim Ryan’s fault for not knowing Biden already did this in February.

The core problem is Biden did so much but was unable to sell any of it to a population largely unable or unwilling to hear it.

It was stunning

Always. Read the shirt.

Libraries have been under attack lately but they mean everything.

Any take about the 2024 election that doesn’t talk about what was said and heard at American voters’ doors is missing the point.

Well I found you on it, so it happened. No idea what will happen to me, but smart of you to mention it!
