“Saved”

Rep. Richard McCormick: "We're gonna have to have some hard decisions. We're gonna have to bring in the Democrats to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There's hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, we just have to have the stomach to take those challenges on."

#DemsUnited #DemVoice1 This is Trump's Surgeon General in his first term. He has loaded up his administration this time with mostly quacks and Kennedy (not an MD). When you remember how Trump fucked up the pandemic response, be prepared for worse this time around.

Fascinating thread on the pendant tombs of the Arabian Peninsula

These long pathways of tombs are called 'Funerary Avenues'. We published about them a few years ago! You can read about them more here: doi.org/10.1177/095968… The most famous of these are around #Khaybar, but they go everywhere! /11

3. BUILD MORE HOUSING. Overrule the busybodies and reactionaries screaming at zoning board hearings. Cut the red tape. Stop trying to preserve the urban character of your city as was in 1993, stop driving people away with housing shortages, and just let your city grow.



Interesting conversation. On the trans ads, they make two points. 1. The ads didn’t move votes. 2. The campaign didn’t have external support offering a positive response. Trump had tons of external support.

NEW POD • @DanPfeiffer sits down with @jomalleydillon, @DavidPlouffe, @QuentinFulks, and @StefCutter to talk about the campaign’s roadmap, the voters they most needed to win over, why they fell short in the end, and what Democrats should do differently next time.…



Polls are open! Time to turn out in support of Mike Siegel for D7 and de Urioste for AISD.

There are three races Austin-area residents will decide this election, depending on where they live. l8r.it/L6tq

If you think Biden flipflopping on Hunter pardon after Trump names Kash Patel his FBI Director is worse than Trump flipflopping on whether Project 2025 is the core of his policy agenda, you should turn in your journalism credentials and also your democracy ones.
