Imagine a television network that might be able to push this discourse. :)
Hasn't penetrated US discourse that the next president of Mexico is likely to be its first woman president, a Jewish woman named Claudia Sheinbaum whose grandparents fled Hitler's armies and who has a PhD in energy engineering and worked for the IPCC. Pretty incredible story!

I was also confused by this.
Is there a super-sized unemployment program still running that I have missed? I'm confused what Vivek is talking about when he says we're paying people more to stay at home than to work. What program is doing that?

Haley is brutally effective at filleting Vivek, but her taking him down again is a little like the Mets celebrating if they knock the Marlins out of the playoffs while they are both 1000 games behind the Braves. #GOPDebate

I’m now interim Editor in Chief at @Jezebel. I’m a massive fan of this team, am grossly obsessed with the work they do, and still feel honored every time I get to hit publish on one of their stories.
