Is it true that every other major country has a single-payer health care system?
Bernie Sanders: “At the top of my list, and I expect to become chair of the Health, Education, Labor Pension Committee, is the need to finally do what every other major country does and that is guarantee healthcare to every man, woman, and child as a human right through a Medicare for All single payer program”

Protest Israel if you want. Never protest small businesses. Ugly bigotry.
NOW: Pro-Palestine protesters attempt to get to the road to begin their "Boycott Bike Ride" against Jewish restaurants they describe as "Zionist Establishments"

*whispers* every country that guarantees health care doesn’t do it with a single payer system

Most important takeaway from Ezra Klein’s comments on the permitting reform bill: Democrats just won in a blue tsunami on an affordability message. BAAJA is a test of whether those campaign promises were real.

Hey @XavierBecerra as former head of HHS and governor-elect of my state can you exert some influence to reduce regulation/improve access to estrogen patches during this shortage? (Like getting @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to declare it a shortage?)

This stupid hate rally will go nowhere ofc. But this should be your opportunity to learn that Philly has some of the best Israeli food in the country and you should go try it next time!! I suggest Borekas at K’far and Tahini shakes at Goldie

A tax that is unconstitutional at the federal level and unpopular in the country’s most progressive state is just not a credible way to propose raising revenue.

I taught/coached all 3 of his sons and he was constantly around the program supporting his kids (and other kids). He really is like this. We all love him for it, too.
Man that dude and that accent with a D after his name… crazy

reminding everyone that Mississippi is one of the best states in the country at teaching kids to read and the rest of us should be taking notes
Scott Colom told reporters yesterday that his favorite book is Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. He also enjoys War and Peace, the Robert Caro books and Things Fall Apart. Probably his worst take is he doesn’t enjoy James Baldwin’s novels, but everyone’s allowed a few bad opinions.

This is a very well done interview and it’s smart for Mamdani to go on Fox. He’s a world-class communicator and he has adjusted his positions to be both progressive and sane. Goes a long way in tamping down conservative fears of what leftists stand for.
"Get rid of borders?" "No." "Get rid of SCOTUS?" "No." "Get rid of jails?" "No." @ShannonBream fires off a series of questions to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani about the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization he proudly says he belongs to. After Mamdani rejects all three proposals, Bream asks whether the DSA will kick him out. He answers "No" again, this time with laughter. Watch the full @FoxNewsSunday interview this Sunday at 2 P.M. ET on Fox News Channel.

There is no better avenue for incoming House & Senate Dems to take than hearings on wtf is going on with NVIDIA + Trump corruption + AI policy in the U.S. It has the virtue of riding the wave of anti-tech populism and directing that energy towards the productive need to stop selling these chips to China.

I really hope someone does challenge Schumer — the party deserves to hear, in some detail, from someone in the “Fight Club” wing what their plan is to maximize the number of wins on this 2028 senate map and drive a stake through the heart of MAGA.
