Also trite and cliche pointing it out at this juncture, but nonetheless true, this is the material difference in outcomes between feckless Dems and fascist republicans.

THE BIG NEWS
Health Insurers Plan Rate Hikes For Next Year, Too
Insurers who offer Affordable Care Act plans are proposing to raise rates by double digits for the second year in a row, the Associated Press reported. The median increase is 14 percent.
That would result in even more uninsured
Americans, which means even more people will die unnecessarily. Insurers raised rates significantly this year after Trump's disastrous spending bill ripped $1 trillion out of healthcare spending, the worst healthcare cuts in history.
Average monthly net premiums across the ACA marketplace went up by 58 percent, forcing 1.2 million people to go uninsured, the biggest drop in enrollment since the marketplace opened in 2014.

The conservative movement has broadly devolved into fascism around the world, leaving liberal/left wing parties as the only functioning options—but they keep bringing knives to gunfights & triangulating even more to the Right. These are the stakes. www.newscientist.com/article/2531...

That’s not just my view – it’s the official verdict of the UK’s Climate Change Committee, which advises the UK government. “Adaptation progress is either too slow, has stalled, or is heading in the wrong direction,” it said in a report last year. Everyone seems to assume this green and pleasant land is going to remain green and pleasant, but it won’t. We’re heading towards catastrophe, but never looking up.

The huge "success" Vance is touting from the Iran talks in Switzerland is that Iran has agreed to allow lAEA monitors back.
Those monitors had been working there since the JCPOA was signed and were only kicked out after Trump bombed Iran last summer.
Absolutely NOTHING gained, but so much lost.

Everyone is also fully aware that:
- Iran already agreed to have weapons inspectors as part of the Obama-era JCPOA
— a breakthrough that didn't require a war
- Trump abandoned that policy for no good reason
- lifting sanctions before working out new details on inspections is evidence of amateur hour

Hello rubber, meet road.

‘Wake up and smell the reality’: Vance slams Israeli ministers for attacking their ‘only powerful ally’

Friday's events were preceded by some of the Trump administration's most explicit criticism of the Netanyahu government and its members, as both the president and VP Vance publicly shared their frustration with the Israeli regime's conduct.

In an interview with The Axios Show on Thursday, Trump said that his relationship with PM Netanyahu is "good, but we have to keep him a little bit...sane." When asked about his ability to control Israel's actions in Lebanon, Trump said, "they do as I say," adding that "we're the ones with the B-2 bombers, etc. If it weren't for Donald Trump, Israel would have been eviscerated."

INGLEWOOD, Calit. - Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei called his team perhaps the "most oppressed team in the whole World Cup" after he said Iran have been forced to leave Los Angeles and return to their training camp in Tijuana, Mexico, immediately after their opening match.
After perhaps the most strained buildup for any team in the long history of the World Cup, Iran finally took the pitch Monday at SoFi Stadium, drawing 2-2 with New Zealand in their politically charged opener.

“Complicate” That is a verb, for sure. There are others you could have used, @npr.org. Torpedoed. Sabotaged. Reject. Oppose. I guess the choice was complicated. Trump targets you for defunding. Defunds you, actually. And you still aim for the ground with your impartiality play. Amazing.

The Gaza Effect: There is ample evidence that Harris lost many voters, especially young voters, Arab-Americans, and critical support in Michigan and elsewhere, due to the campaign's failure to shift or even signal a potential shift in policy on Israel and Palestine.

If you’re theory of change involves not changing anything, and that’s something you’ve arrived it by way of intentional propganada campaigns by politicians on either side, then you are the mark. You’ve been taken advantage of by some combo of your own priors & people targeting those priors.

This was my response

you know I have a different conception of what the political center "is" and "should be"
I'd also add the article in the beginning points to fissures within the base that point to dissatisfaction with the status quo of Dems - but then cite their own self Fulfilling polling with leading questions later on in the piece to justify a declared preference (by presumably the same cohort of people) for a kind of "return to center" "-that contradicts the earlier part of the article-so there's that

These people are never honest brokers about the actual things they've said they believe in and stood on. All day long, they literally just vomit out their own self-annointed treatises on so-called "reality," just saying "things" without any concern about being morally or principally consistent.

That’s the fulcrum on which the Harper’s letter turns: I could be wrong about everything, and I am willing to hear the reasons why, but I must be given the chance to be wrong. I must be able to not only express my opinions, but to know that my life won’t crumble around me because I happen to be in disagreement with the crowd. We must grant one another compassion and the benefit of the doubt, despite our basest instincts and the social media platforms that cynically incentivize them. I’ve been wrong nearly every day of my life, and there hasn’t been one instance in which I didn’t become a better person for having learned through compassionate correction. If I’d been afraid to speak or act, or if I’d been met with righteous anger instead, I might have never learned at all. Read more»
