I have no words. Anti-worker, anti-union, pro-child labor, anti-sick leave, anti-medical leave, anti-maternity/paternity leave, anti-livable wage… no wonder republicans refer to us as human capital stock. Fuck the oligarchs.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

Insurers’ denial rates are a critical measure of how reliably they pay for customers’ care. But they remain mostly secret to the public. Federal and state regulators have done little to change that. (Published 2023 w/ @capitolforum.bsky.social)

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

When they can pretend the violence came from the left, they insist all Democrats are responsible and ideology is to blame. When there's no denying the violence came from the right, though, they back off and pretend ideology had nothing to do with it. Certainly not anything they said.

If the administration wants to join the attack against Iran, it should make its case to Congress and request an AUMF. There is no imminent threat of the kind that would justify bypassing Congress.

Dear @democrats.org, Republicans have offered you a playbook on how to obstruct. They do it to you all the time. Why aren't you using their effective obstruction strategies? Why are you confirming their noms? Why are you voting for their destructive bills? Why are you not all united?
