Let’s be honest. Getting close to anything approaching Medicare For All isn’t even on the table until 2029. But calling for a system like every single other industrialized nation in the world has isn’t radical. It’s practical. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/michigan-t...
Michigan! The Choice is Clear — Vote for Abdul El-Sayed
He's better on issues and the best fighter to hold our vital Senate seat in November.

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

A prediction, but also analysis about what's going on. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but you can't be surprised when there's obviously a cover-up here — and one we've seen variations of before. (And continuing, with Trump.) www.salon.com/2026/08/03/m...

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
Just a reminder that the president of the United States recently had to pay almost $6 million to the woman he sexually abused and defamed, and not one reporter has asked him about it.
Every veteran deserves a safe place to call home. I was proud to cut the ribbon on this new 100% affordable housing project in Koreatown, transforming a former Craftsman home into 19 homes for veterans.
Hinojosa is benefiting from being the one brave enough to take on Abbott. A lot of higher profile people (with bigger fundraising potential, perhaps) passed on it
Ana Marie Cox@anamariecox.com · 2d agoFrom a Fox Poll out 7/31: Talarico-Paxton is the marquee race down here but check out the dead heat btw Abbott and Hinojosa for governor. This contest isn't even on the radar for the national Dems, AFAIK. She's has $3m cash on hand--Abbott has *$67m*. Some more highlights from the poll... /1

Donald must be REALLY mad at Jeanine Pirro—summoning her during happy hour.
19 million US children (1 in 4) aren't receiving their full federal Child Tax Credit because they come from a household whose income is too low. This upside-down structure penalizes the most vulnerable children. It makes no sense. Kids don't choose their parents' income level.
NEW: Jake Taylor from MSNOW says Jeanine Pirro just arrived at the West Wing. Uh oh! Methinks her days are numbered!
“Musk personally decided that this little girl should get no more food from us. She is starving to death, and the food that was on its way to her from the U.S. is now rotting away in warehouses … because Elon Musk decided that this little girl was getting too much food.” @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

I think it's far more likely a centrist would vote for a progressive than the other way around.
My wish is for him to be locked away forever in solitary confinement with Obama speeches and Hillary’s laugh playing loudly on a loop 24/7 with a Big Mac and a bucket of chicken just out of reach.
