LindaCollins1119 states are requesting women's medical records to see if they have traveled to get an abortion or for any contraception or gender surgical procedure. WTF? What happened to medical privacy? When it was for covid info, records were blocked, giving the unvaccinated permission to spread disease. But your most personal info is okay because you are a woman, so therefore, property of the state you live in?
Jay Rosen"Not the odds, but the stakes."
That's my shorthand for the organizing principle we most need in 2024 election coverage. Not who has what chances of winning, but the consequences for our democracy— given what's possible in this election. Not the odds, but the stakes.
Here is an example of stakes commentary. Its analysis is both plausible and terrifying.

HeavenlyPossumA journalist recently noticed something strange about the New York City housing market. During the peak of the COVID crisis in NYC, the city lost close to seven percent of its population as people either died or moved away.
The real estate vacancy rate was close to twenty-five percent.
Since then, according to an array of parties with considerable interest in rents, the population of NYC has rebounded. As a result, housing is once again scarce and rents have soared.
Except…there’s no actual indication that the city’s population has actually rebounded, and certainly not by enough to explain soaring rental prices. After all, the city’s population had already started to decline before 2020.
