Reading a story about the election that casually referred to "Biden's slide in the polls" and it just remains remarkable to me that narrative reporters can just drop stuff like that into copy and never think twice about whether it has any basis in fact.

It took 50 years for the Dept of Labor to update its federal standard to better protect coal miners from the deadly silica dust that’s driving an epidemic of black lung across Appalachia.

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

Texas is subsidizing $10 billion worth of new fossil fuel plants, citing new demand caused by climate change and population growth.

But in reality, much of the new demand is coming from supercomputers for AI and crypto.

Guess where the new plants will be placed:

Just saw someone post that they want Biden to lose by a landslide in order to force the Democratic Party to change What year is it? Because I've seen this same argument against Clinton in 2016 and Gore in 2000 A huge loss WOULD change the party, but probably not in good ways

Just called my rep AGAIN to tell them to sign onto this. Every D in the House should be a cosponsor. Yes, it won't pass the R-controlled House, but we have to make this an issue.

Have you seen the 2020 democratic platform, read the Build Back Better or Inflationary Reduction Act legislative text, or followed any of the Biden administration’s regulatory work. Or are you just venting frustrations about a broken system not being fixed in one four year administration.

A reminder that if Trump wins & purges the civil service to replace it with loyalists as planned, all sorts of govt data will become totally untrustworthy. The House GOP is already trying to rig the census to screw Democrats in redistricting after Trump's first-term attempt failed

The PSA guys recommend(ed) “fix” vs. “save” and I think that’s actually a better framing. “I’m running to fix the system to ensure it works for you.” vs. “I’m running to save the system that few are currently satisfied with.”

As someone who just spent a significant amount of time in Texas where you can’t get liquor on a Sunday and porn was banned let me tell you these provisions are dead serious. People work around but that means binge drinking/buying on Saturdays and sketchier sites for titillation. Not more virtue.
