More convinced than ever that senior and elected Democrats might really be misreading the sentiment among their base, and that they could be caught badly flat-footed by their own voters very soon. split-ticket.org/2025/02/21/t...

The posts on Bluesky denigrating the recently murdered CEO of UHC make me believe this platform is not so different from the other awful platform so many here people fled from. It was a cold-blooded assassination of a human with a family and that is terrible. Full stop.

Data on stillbirths in the US is frequently incomplete, delayed and is sometimes inaccurate, particularly when it comes to cause of death. Data on stillbirth risk factors and race also is deficient. And it’s getting worse. By @irenatfh.bsky.social, Sophie Chou, and @deldeib.bsky.social
