12 years ago, the Supreme Court issued a devastating decision, Shelby County v. Holder, which swung open the door for states to enact dozens of restrictive voting laws. Read: bit.ly/4jkwjoT

These are extraordinary numbers. Just...wow.

Look...millions will lose their healthcare. Many will lose their nursing home and memory care rooms since Medicaid pays for the overwhelming majority of those but look...having Great Grandma wander the house is good for family. They will forget all about it in a year and a half...right?

I assumed he was paid in children’s tears.

⚠️TRUMP/RFK Jr’s CDC IS ALLOWING FALSIFIED VACCINE STUDIES—CDC vaccine presentation cites study that DOES NOT EXIST. In a review on the use of thimerosal in vaccines slated to be presented to the CDC's vaccine committee cites a study that does not exist, the scientist listed as study's author said.🧵

COMMENTARY: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ $29M pedestrian bridge project will be a monument to government waste (1/2) #copolitics

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

This monstrous June 23 decision is even harder to comprehend than disastrous — but still understandable — rulings like the Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade or the decision creating permanent nearly absolute presidential immunity from criminal prosecution www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...

Andrew Cuomo has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

Perhaps the phrase "Don't rank Cuomo" was simple and catchy and people got the message?

It turns out being a charming person with policies that don’t suck isn’t a bad strategy despite being told that for two straight months

That’s so mean 🤣 And yet, seems more valid than pawning off the nation’s forest reserves. Lee’s land grab is beaten back for the time being, but the idea won’t go away. It’s going to take sustained activism from public land loyalists to foil ill intent for green space, from local to national.

Look, I voted for Bill Clinton twice, but at this point he's the uncle at Thanksgiving you tell all the cousins' new girlfriends to stay on the other side of the room from

Obviously an oversight on the part of the Mamdani campaign to not make this a bigger deal.

NEW: Home rule in Douglas County is losing 72%-28% in initial returns. The GOP county commissioner pushing the plan claimed the opposition is funded by the Chinese Communist Party. (The opposition leader is Asian American) #copolitics

Turns out you don't have to keep whining about the evil establishment Democrats "not letting you win" if you actually put in the work to round up enough votes on election day.

🧵#ACIP alert Since Lyn Redwood kindly got her slides done ahead of time, we've reviewed and have some thoughts 👇 📌 tl;dr: methylmercury (MeHg) and ethylmercury (EtHg) i.e. thimerosol, are two different things. MeHg can be toxic. EtHg, in amounts used in vaccines, has not been linked to toxicity

Mask off, hood on.

Andrew Cuomo is most famous for sexually harassing a lot of women and getting thousands of old people killed. And yet he really, genuinely thought that he’d easily win on people knowing who he was.

Aaaand this is why you don’t launch your new podcast by flattering Charlie Kirk for 90 minutes

Study finds child vaccination rates are dropping globally, threatening millions

Just saw Chief Shultz posted this. “For nearly 25 years, this rule has frustrated land managers and served as a barrier to action – prohibiting road construction, which has limited wildfire suppression and timber harvesting on nearly 60 million acres.” Ever hear of multiple use management, Chief?

We expect to see hard won public health progress questioned and even undermined at tomorrow’s ACIP. But since the beginning of time, scientific progress has continued through disbelief, ridicule, and setbacks. RFKJ and his like may have power now. But they will not hold us back forever Goodnight 💚

Lol. I mean, I guess it's true that the Dem Party is out of touch with the people. Because the establishment tried everything it could to have a different result tonight. But that ain't what Ed meant. It's hilarious to see millions vote and the GOP claim the grassroots effort is "out of touch"

"An extinction level event for higher education."

Good news.

Going to post something v soon about why CBO/GAO are so important but basically this: the executive branch is always reluctant to hold itself accountable and absolutely averse to accountability rn. So we should be worried about GOPers attacking those institutions

Trump doesn't need proof that the bombs only destroyed some mountains in Iran, because this was a success for him that he can lie about for years now.

Science is in danger - and so are we. This week’s vaccine committee meeting will likely be a quiet step toward erasing protections that keep millions alive. Join us in demanding HHS leadership protect American public health : zurl.co/DIH5e zurl.co/nEPgg

Congratulations to the 13 brave women who risked their careers and reputations to stand up to Cuomo’s sexual predation

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

never forget that mamdani’s campaign started to surge after calling tom homan a bitch to his face
