Initial thoughts on the Ossoff-Collins debate is: It's a massacre. Collins is fighting a losing battle, forced to defend his support for the president's unpopular policies. But he doesn't even seem prepared to defend the GOP record. He's hardly able to intelligibly challenge Ossoff on anything???

Two more individuals with ties to a white nationalist group have turned up in Mike Collins' orbit.

Despite Trump's agitating, 'There's no universe where it would make sense' for the Fed to cut interest rates at the end of the month.

That quote is from Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, CEO of the American Public Health Association, btw

That inequity reaches beyond just health outcomes. A quote that didn't make it in the story: "If you’re required to get a vaccine to go to school and you can’t get it then you can't go to school so it interferes with your ability to get an education." Read more:

The result of any change to the federal childhood vaccine schedule would be super inequitable.

Indigenous children are only 0.7% of the overall population in the U.S. but comprise more than 1.3% of children on Medicaid. While private ensurers pledged to keep covering vaccines recommended by the government pre RFK, Medicaid relies on a system that can only cover federally recommended shots

White children *do* make up the largest single share of children on Medicaid or CHIP at 43%, but 60% of children in the U.S. are white. Hispanic children represent 28% of Medicaid recipients but just 19% of the pop, and Black children make up 21% of Medicaid recipients but are just 12% of the pop

Because of federal rules, children covered by Medicaid won't be able to access vaccines that are no longer recommended by the federal government, even as children with private insurance will.

remarkable piece of journalism. really worth reading.

First there was "the negro problem." Now racists are trying to coin a new version: "the Indian question." one of endless examples of why solidarity among Black people and other people of color, along with any socially vulnerable group, would benefit everyone.

this whole federal student loan thing is a MESS. I opted into a new, approved plan, and yet just got a "FINAL NOTICE" from my servicer about needing to switch plans? seriously just leave me alone!!!

A proposed change to a key tax form could be used to accomplish a long-time Republican objective: to shift power in Congress by excluding most immigrants from the process that determine's a state's congressional representation
