Governor Youngkin has failed to join, but Virginia’s next governor could take a really important step here:

I wrote a thing about why Virginia’s next Governor should join a new group of governors working to protect public health despite the chaos from HHS and the White House.

Read it in today’s @richmond.com

I think about this like a lot - the most contextually, historically appropriate hope I’ve heard in a while, from TNC:

showed up to the two princes rally instead. cops told me to just go ahead now.

He’s not dead. He’s just molting.

These Younger Democrats Are Sick of Their Party’s Status Quo

Just 15 years ago, we had:

🐘Democratic governors in WV, WY, and OK.

🐘Democrats representing SD and IN in the U.S. Senate.

🐘Dem control of the AK and MS statehouses.

Majority Democrats is how we get back to winning all across the country. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...

As someone who unseated a 26-year, 13-term Republican legislator who voted against Medicaid expansion, I can say the hubris of telling your constituents "we're all going to die" when they're concerned about you denying them health insurance and then doubling down by mocking them may just backfire.🧵

SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

that silly little moment when you're trying to get the kids ready for a birthday party and you realize there's only enough time left for one parent to get showered and dressed:

my thought:

It would be nice to have a federal government - CMS and CFPB in particular - who could go after this kind of interstate fraud

SELLING AMERICA

The 2011 S&P downgrade of the US government’s credit rating was a fart in the wind for markets.

Now, we’re in the midst of the biggest downgrade of US stocks relative to their global peers on record, laid bare on the screens.

congratulations, America. you’re gonna pay for a trade war instead of universal health care.

What a grim fucking day for the future of science, medicine, and health in this country.

sorry aesop, but now we have fed your fables into our llm we have to let you go; we can generate our own version of the goose that laid the golden eggs without having to pay *anyone*.

If a D official said this, R's would have instantly clipped, shared, commented on, and distributed this soundbite (and their rage) through countless content creators and various platforms. So much that it would wash into mainstream outlets, too.

We're not there yet.

unitary executive but hold on wait not *that* executive

One ancestral line had become a high-powered attorney in the city. The other ancestral line stuck to its roots as the town carpenter.

But when their hometown’s Christmas market was about to go bankrupt, they realized they had more in common than met the eye…

“no I can’t marry you,” she says. “I can’t take any more of your jurassic park references.”

I’m frozen. Like a prehistoric mosquito in fossilized amber.

“But honey…” I stammer. “I… I spared no expense.”

strange to watch conservatives make voting harder right as they become the party of low propensity voters
