The logic here seems to be that PEPFAR needs to be remade to exclusively serve American interest. Saving 25 million lives over the past two decades and pulling off one of the greatest humanitarian feats of the century was already serving American interests. This is just evil.

I know everyone wants to argue about Mamdani a million times over. But the largest cut to public health care in American history is happening. Doesn't matter what your take is on the factional divide inside the Dem party, you just have to be shouting about this from the rooftops.

Yup! Work requirements poll well when voters are asked. But it's not like there is a big grassroots movement pushing for them. This is something the GOP is trying on their own volition. And there is just so so much evidence that it will hurt health outcomes for poor Americans.

Crazy we might see the largest cut to public health insurance in American history and the DSA account has posted literally nothing about it.

I'm still pro RCV. But I think it would be healthier for the two candidates in the left lane to vocalize their ideological differences, rather than exclusively highlight their points of agreement. Like what does the city accountant think about Mamdani's $70b housing plan?.

Likely the largest single day protest in US history united around the big-tent cause of anti-authoritarianism. I don't know how you measure the success of a protest a week later, especially when Dems have little power in Congress. But this knee jerk political nihilism is sad.
