Five years ago, we all applauded nurses, public health, and health care workers every evening for saving lives.
Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional.
This says everything about the state of US health care.

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.

The issue isn't who gets representation, it's that once you start unwinding federalism, why stop at presidential elections? Why bother having "states" at all other than as national administrative boundaries?
And why keep the Senate at all? Why not just a giant House, proportionally elected?
And why keep the Senate at all? Why not just a giant House, proportionally elected?
Sorry, but this is nonsensical. Federalism isn't a binary. Elect the President by national popular vote and both the little and the big empty states STILL get overrepresented in the Senate, which, need I remind you, confirms judicial and other nominations.

Yes Mamdani is charming but the reason someone like Trump can walk away feeling good about him after a conversation is because you can tell his politics is rooted in a deep love for the people and when communicated effectively, that’s disarming even for those who disagree.
