Corporate tax cuts.
Estate tax cuts.
Overseas income tax cuts.
Pass through business tax cuts.
These are all tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy that Trump wasn’t willing to let expire.
But ACA tax credits to protect health care? Forget about it.

I find it interesting that some high powered bankers, academics, and economists are able to tell the truth about the economy and some feel the need to lie about everything.

Elizabeth Shaffer is from the old school that says: don't attempt to address the problem, let it be as dangerous as possible, eventually they'll learn.
also i told jamal osman on election night that elizabeth shaffer had won and he told me a story about asking for safe needle disposal in a park and shaffer saying no because it will "encourage drug use." he was just like "it'll encourage kids not stepping on needles!"

I have a Minneapolis elections theory that may be way too simple: the 2025 mayor’s race was closer because Rank All 3 worked! It didn’t work well enough … but it worked. There were 13,300 more votes in 2025’s final round & Fateh got 10,300 of them!

The Media Is Complicit in the Climate Confusion
The vast majority of people want their governments to take climate action—but most wrongly think they’re in the minority. The media is partly to blame.
