America doesn’t have a labor shortage. There is a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a child care shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage.

Corporate Health Care Lobbyists: Medicare for All would lead to rationed care.

Gallup: A record-breaking 38% of Americans were forced to delay needed care last year because it was too expensive.

The greed of private health insurance companies is literally killing Americans.

New in Public Notice: If you’re looking to enforce a narrow, bigoted worldview, a good way to do it is by destroying public schools. And Christian charter schools represent the right's latest effort to undermine them. https://aaronrupar.substack.com/p/catholic-charter-school-oklahoma
A new front in the right's war on public education

A Catholic charter school is in the works and there's little reason to believe the courts will intervene.

Wow. WaPo digs into why the South has the lowest credit scores in the country (adding to individual consumers' borrowing costs, freezing then out of credit at all). The answer: Medical debt. Because the South didn't expand Medicaid.

A simple way to describe the kind of 2024 coverage we need is this...

Not the odds, but the stakes.

Meaning: less that tries to handicap the race, more that shows what is at stake in that race.

One in the first category: "DeSantis’s Challenge: When, and How, to Counterattack Trump." All about tactics.

In the second category: "DeSantis is weaponizing partisan media." The stakes, not the odds.

DeSantis’s Challenge: When, and How, to Counterattack Trump

As the former president lobs insults and calls him “Ron DeSanctimonious,” Gov. Ron DeSantis is carefully avoiding conflict. But if he runs for president as expected, a clash is inevitable.

ICYMI, I clipped the full footage of Rep. Dan Goldman demolishing three straight GOP witnesses during Thursday's "weaponization of government" hearing. It's impressive stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szbDsSkZ4Bo

Reminder that the Jesusy “He Gets Us” campaign now playing on the Super Bowl has far-right donors. Don’t be drawn in by social justice dressing.
