If you know a student journalist in Appalachia, we're looking for a 1-2 more dispatches for a project for 100 Days in Appalachia, an independent nonprofit newsroom. 400ish words, $150, not a big reporting lift. Deadline is tight (Dec. 8th) but would love to get folks published/paid! DM for details.

We’re a full month into ACA Open Enrollment.

Families are scrambling to figure out how they’ll afford to pay double, triple, and even quadruple in premiums.

But Republicans are still uninterested in joining Democrats to stop these disastrous price hikes.

My brother Jonathan @recoveringpol.bsky.social quoted in @theguardian.com about the US hemp industry.
"The US hemp industry generates $28bn a year in revenue and employs 300,000 people, according to Jonathan Miller, general counsel for the US Hemp Roundtable."

Or to put it another way, nine times as many people work for hemp than work in the coal industry the administration so desperately props up.
What will a ban on most US hemp products mean?
Ban forbids all products that contain more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per package – a trace amount present in most CBD products

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."

When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.

He's a tyrant.

Even in the house of horrors that is vaccine-preventable illnesses, polio stands out as particularly terrifying.

But the darker chapters of public health history do not seem to faze anti-vaccine activists. Now, it’s polio’s turn to be downplayed.
The anti-vax movement's wildest claim yet: Polio wasn't so bad
Add this to vaccines make you magnetic, cause AIDS, and measles is not a big deal.

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and scared and sad, remind yourself of what you can do and then do it

Got extra cash? Donate to a food pantry

Extra time? Phone bank or canvas

Have little kids? Model kindness and communal care

Do what you can and push to do a little more than you think you can

I spent the last few days hanging out with infectious disease scientists, including some CDC veterans

They're still in shock over how much damage RFK Jr. has done, and how quickly

But they're starting to fight back
