Keep at it! Republican leaders have doubled down. Just tie it around their necks.

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.

Oh, by the way, I wrote in @thenation.com about how Trump is condeming millions of Americans to hunger this Thanksigiving with his accelarated timeline of adding work requirements for SNAP benefits.
I also discussed how work requirements provably don't work, for the neoliberals in your life.

Trump Has Just Condemned More Americans to Hunger

The administration’s decision to fast-track a bunch of changes to food stamps—including new work requirements—is as stupid as it is cruel.

According to more than 1,200 lawsuits, Pfizer has failed to properly warn the public about long-established links between Depo-Provera and meningiomas.

If Pfizer is successful, consumers may find it harder to hold drug makers accountable for inadequate warning labels.

I disagree that it’s “bad behavior” on Katie Porter’s part. Why aren’t women allowed to have the same short fuses that make get away with all the time. Double standards, anyone?

This is quite a split screen:

➡️Trump & RFKjr layoff the top two leaders of the federal measles response team as part of CDC purge
⬅️Measles outbreak expands, hundreds of unvaccinated children hit with highly contagious disease

C.D.C. Layoffs Included 2 Top Measles Experts Amid Rising Cases

Scientists who focused on other infectious diseases, like an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, also were let go.

A bubbling measles outbreak in the upstate of South Carolina has forced 153 unvaccinated children out of the classroom and into quarantine for a minimum of 21 days.
