Yeah, campaign for Medicare for All because fuck the ACA.
Mike Johnson, whose claim to fame is a ridiculous selfie with Kid Rock, is furious that we’re pushing to force a vote on extending tax credits. You know what to do:
Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits

And the rocket’s red glare,
Bombs burst in midair,
Gave proof through the night,
That our flag was still there.

NYC: ICE is staging at Centre and Howard St. Get down there if you can.

Yes. It's a very common misconception about the past that horses were just a one-to-one replacement for cars - only the rich had carriages, few people rode on horseback for transportation, most horses were used for hauling, not transporting people. Most people (like most of human history) walked
There was never really a point where horse usage reached anywhere near the saturation of car usage, so it's hard to compare. At the highest point there was about one horse for every five Americans. People just walked a lot!
Considering that horses are dangerous and riders are very regularly seriously injured, I wonder what the direct overall injury/death rate looked like when everyone in our society had to constantly ride/drive horses, versus the injury/death rate from cars today?

Reclining is my right. It wouldn’t exist if we weren’t supposed to use it.

This is not meant in a hater way, but I have never been to a Costco. I’m not actively avoiding them, but I’m assuming they just aren’t really located near major transit hubs?
among other things a trip to costco is an easy way to keep two little kids occupied for a chunk of an afternoon

After Bernie 2020, establishment Democrats gave up on health care — all they offer now is a promise to fight to maintain the status quo of ever-rising premiums and spotty coverage — a system where illness means bankruptcy for too many. We still need Medicare For All!
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the negle...

One of the biggest barriers to implementing pro-housing policy is the folk wisdom that building new market rate/mixed-income housing increases rents even though study after study shows that the opposite is the case:

building more housing lowers rents
Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.

Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

unironically i think he wants to impose the conditions of his childhood onto the entire country
JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

I’m in favor of airdropping Stephen Miller into a random country and letting him fend for himself. Either they’ll be surprisingly nice to him and maybe he’ll have a Grinch conversion, or they’ll kill him and eat his body. Win win.

They’re really pretty, but I’m curious whether covered bridges had some specific architectural purpose besides looking cool? Did people shelter themselves from the heat there? Like why cover a bridge when the rest of the journey is exposed to rain, etc? Is it to limit vehicle size?

I really hope we just drop him naked in the Antarctic and let his tiny prick freeze off.
Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?
