Lots of bad reporting today on a libertarian think tanks study in the cost of m4a that misses the context that by their own accounting, m4a is cheaper than our garbage private system

If you want to look into media and mental health as potential causes, don't you need to compare it to other countries? If you hold those variables constant and still find different results, that should tell you something about the causal relationship.

Cohen's lawyer said last night that they did not release this information, and he believes that the Trump team did. I'm sure Mueller would be looking for corroboration and not just "well Cohen said so that's good enough." He's aware of Cohen's public credibility. Those phone records that the GOP refuses to subpoena may shed some light. The timing of Trump's public statements can, too.

abolish ICE please and thank you

hey reddy any public polls of IA-01 lately?

Why do these things happen over and over in the US but don't seem to happen in other countries that have similar media access and similar levels of mental health issues?

It won't be too long until we're at "actually it's good that the GOP colluded with Russia to stop Clinton!"

They did a massive stimulus in the form of $2T of tax cuts for the wealthy and businesses. Still not trickling down to real wage growth for most people, though.

So weird that Nunes wouldn't let the Democrats subpoena his phone records to see who he made a restricted call to before and after the meeting.

also this midwest Gov poll, wow

Russian hacking, coming to a midterm near you! I'm very confused though our big boy president told us that Russia was actually in favor of the Dems??

I think they're up to 100 different allegations against the OSU doctor, yet Jordan maintains he knew absolutely nothing about any of it. So today he announced his intention to replace Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House

Chicago sending thousands of poor, mostly black people into bankruptcy over city sticker tickets. They thought they could raise about $16m in revenue, which of course never happened, but these peoples' lives are being severely negatively impacted instead.

There seem to be some serious omissions in this list. It's also amusing that most of it is things Democrats have failed to implement. It ends with pointing out that the GOP has controlled the House for 19 of those 25 years, but apparently this doesn't cause the author to rethink the wisdom of pursuing the same strategies that led to that.

She did win the race though, by a big margin, because Crowley and what he represents sucks.

As part of a national project or supreme court ruling outlawing partisan gerrymandering, yes.

e.g. Poll says majority of Northeast Ohioans want Medicare for all It turns out that good things are actually popular even in non-coastal areas! Wow!

look at the good that automatic voter registration does: More voters, higher participation. Voter registration hurdles and purges have a clear goal and purpose.

love our good democracy where you can routinely win legislative majorities with a minority vote share

NC GOP up to more antidemocratic measures I'd expect more of this across the country as the GOP struggles to win in fair elections. e:

Fun follow up to this: The deliberately ignored any evidence of the benefits of the national monuments designations and focused solely on how to promote extraction industry access! Shocking, right? They accidentally released a bunch of emails documenting this. Trump administration officials dismissed benefits of national monuments Don't like what the facts are? Simply remove them from consideration!
