This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Love the list and it has inspired spirited debate in the group chats @theringer.com.web.brid.gy But if you're going to include world events like the 08 crash but not include anything about 9/11 or the War on Terror it feels like the bracket isn't about millennials? theringer.com/2025/05/05/p...

Telling that none of these proposals-nor the article itself-address the other costs that actually make homeownership so costly in TX - skyrocketing home insurance premiums, high energy costs, and high property tax rates (because we don't have state income tax). www.texastribune.org/2025/04/22/e...

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America: 1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI 2) kill universities 3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub 4) empty the cities 5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

All correct points. Important to understand that this is 100% self inflicted. Intentionally stoking inflation out of some weirdo tough guy need to impose tariffs, and create wildly high levels of uncertainty/risk aversion.

Also, Cuomo almost single-handedly cost Dems the House. He let the GOP gerrymander NY’s Senate to thwart progressives, pushed through an amendment to try to block future Dem maps, & chose conservative judges who blocked Dems from gerrymandering after 2020 while the GOP ruthlessly drew TX, FL, etc.

Lots of great insights here, especially the connection between how damaging the decades-long project of undermining teachers has been to student outcomes and how catastrophic the long-term effects of doing the same to public sector workers generally will be to all facets of life.

This is how a democracy collapses: "A senior official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency instructed subordinates to freeze funding for a wide array of grant programs Monday, just hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration — for the second time — to stop such pauses."
