Pretty wild that the American response to COVID has just been the rejection of the concept of public health.

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat. Some of those stories may even be true! But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇

Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening. nyti.ms/3Apvv1R

If Harris wins tomorrow night - or if Harris even appears *likely* to win key states - you will see @elonmusk and the MAGA crowd go full disinformation immediately. They will claim the election is being stolen. It will be coordinated and immediate. Realize this is coming.

I do not know any economist who thinks Trump would be a good President, or who thinks he would be good for the economy. And of course, tariffs are not paid by other countries! Fellow laureates agree: cnn.com/2024/10/23/pol…

Great news! The @FTC just finalized a new rule to make it as easy for Americans to cancel a subscription as it was to sign up—sometimes with just one click. The Biden-Harris Administration is living up to its promise to protect consumers and save families money.

Conservatives would really like to believe that cities are mooching off of prosperous rural areas, but it’s just not true. Urban counties are pretty consistently the least dependent on government programs for their income.

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. propublica.org/article/epa-sc…
