Do they ever say whom they think would take Biden's place and win??? Sorry but not a slick looking guy from California, and sadly not a talented & intelligent Black woman. Themselves?

Did he shave his beard? I thought Trump didn't like beards on his toadies.

The purpose is not just to articulate government policy, but to encourage private action. This is not going to work out well for anyone. Including me, since the first time a shitbird in a MAGA hat demands one of my kids prove their citizenship I’m probably gonna wind up in jail.

The number of people Trump says he'll deport keeps going up. It's now 20 million, 50% higher than the largest estimates of the undocumented population. It's clear sign that distinguishing legal from illegal won't be a priority. They're just going to round up people they don't want to be here.

Whaddya know, requiring Medicaid recipients to navigate a bureaucratic obstacle course to get coverage turns out to mean almost nobody gets coverage. Not a bug, a feature.

Can a Medicaid plan that requires work succeed? First year of Georgia experiment is not promisingapnews.com By now, Georgia officials expected their new Medicaid plan to provide health insurance to 25,000 low income residents.

Was super disappointed that I couldn't turn off reposts from any specific user. This was a useful feature on Twitter.

I know everyone is focused on the shiny object, and with good reason, but can we also look at this other above-the-fold item, pretty please? Thanks. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/u...

Popping on to say: A lot of rumors are about to fly about this rally. Trump's team is 100% going to try and take advantage of this situation. So will malicious foreign actors/bots/etc. Please don't auto share. Check your sources, and vet their wording/sourcing carefully.

My memory from doing ads for a university press may fail me, but doesn't the AHA publish a magazine for high school history teachers? Any editorial policies or backlash there?

I don't think this is nothing per se, any of this signaling is damaging, but I do think there's something to the idea two of these Congressmen who added themselves to this list tonight are a former VP of Goldman Sachs and a former comms director for a hospital conglomerate.

For those of you keeping score, three more members of Congress and Michael Stipe have asked Joe Biden to withdraw from the campaign tonight

Do any of these "Biden out" folks have an alternate? Do they actually say "let Kamala run instead"? A plan for the $$ raised for Biden? What about all of us who voted for Biden in the primary? Who's their nominee? I don't wanna hear how angry you are that this didn't happen years ago. THIS IS NOW.

look, the answer to “crops will rot in the fields” after mass deportation is “chain gangs from for-profit prisons” they’re just not showing that card right now

Mass deportation is a kitchen table issue, and Trump and the GOP need to be hounded about it. "Kids will come from school to homes without their parents. Businesses would lose workers, some would just shutter. Crops would rot in the fields.” zacharymueller.substack.com/p/mass-depor...

Honest question. I have a full size bed, but if I buy a queen size fitted sheet, doesn't that defeat the purpose of a "fitted" sheet? Not even asking for a friend, asking for me. ;-)
