At least in the first gilded age we got museums and railroads and hospitals. Now we get meme coins, social networks and Gofundmes.

New York Times Editor’s note: “Jimmy Carter died on Dec. 29, 2024. Roughly a year before he entered hospice care, he wrote his final New York Times Opinion essay. In it, he looked back on the Capitol riot and explained why he was so worried about American democracy.” www.nytimes.com/2022/01/05/o...

If you currently work in the federal government, your most important job may be to eventually become a witness! Figure out now how you would communicate anonymously with journalists like myself. FWIW, my email is phil [dot] williams [at] newschannel5 [dot] com. www.forbes.com/advisor/busi...

Distance, for now, is my new answer to politics. I no longer react. I no longer argue. I no longer dive into the drama. I no longer clench at the sheer malfeasance of it all. I simply remove my presence. For now, it's the only thing that will keep me from going insane.

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

I’m constantly in awe of Jason Kander’s commitment to service. He makes me want to be a better Army officer & most importantly, a better human-being. If you haven’t watched tonight’s 60 Minutes, I encourage you to do so. Never discount your power as an individual to do good for others.

I can’t imagine there is a single person whining right now who would not have done the same thing for their son—especially given that his or her son would have been about to be at the mercy of the new Trump DOJ. Give me a break with the melodramatics.

I highly recommend the documentary, Zurawski v Texas (now playing nationwide). I attended a private screening and left the theater in shock. The film is as devastating as it is empowering. I’m in awe of, and in solidarity with, Amanda Zurawski, and all the women profiled in this amazing film! ✊🏽

When it comes to exigent matters of maternal health, Trump and his Republicans have forced doctors to prioritize themselves over patients. Take Texas. Due to strict abortion laws in that state, doctors are terrified of losing their licenses, paying extortionate fines, and going to prison for…

🧵 I know y’all are probably tired of talking about Musk, but that’s what I’m going to talk about today. Specifically, I’m going to talk about just how much he’s screwing himself right now… and I’m going to encourage everyone to please let him continue screwing himself. Walk with me… +

Allow me to reintroduce myself, I'm Cassandra Jaramillo. I cover reproductive health for ProPublica and speak multiple languages (français, juste un peu). I'm interested in talking about repro health in abortion banned states, voting rights and things people don't want to be made public :)

Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum said that migrant caravans aren't reaching the Mexico-US border. This comes a day after it was reported that illegal border crossings are at the lowest of President Biden's presidency. Yet MAGA is giving all the credit to Donald Trump's proposed tariffs. 🤦‍♀️

Just on the tariffs thing three things are true: 1) tariffs will be paid by American consumers 2) most people don’t know that yet 3) this isn’t complicated and we don’t need to act like it is impossible to get through folks. Some stuff is hard to explain . this isn’t.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

The Texas State Board of Education adopted a new Bible-infused curriculum for elementary school students. The new lessons elevate Christianity over the other major world religions. This curriculum is un-constitutional, un-American, and deeply un-Christian.
