I spent 25 years at New York Life and was never less than proud of the company that always tried to do the right thing. Now I'm ashamed & livid to learn that it's one of the top companies funding the right-wingers promoting huge spending for ICE. Please BOYCOTT New York Life.

You cannot say that Harris and the Dems ran on Biden's economic populist policy.
It's just not true, in the ads, speeches, and the gap between what Biden did and what was knows was... a canyon. See this swing state survey from August (GQR)

While Dems did better in some MKE suburbs than in other states, they didn't get the boost they needed from GOP crossover voters. Could they have gotten the boost with a greater focus on winning back working-class voters in small cities beyond the suburbs?

A lot of people want to bring Obama-era insiders back for party building purposes.

Party building is different. Look to people w/ recent successes.

Before health insurers reject claims, company doctors must review patient records to decide whether to approve claims.
But the Cigna system bypasses those steps. Medical directors don't see any patient records, said former employees.

In my new @ProSyn column, I ask whether Kamala Harris would have won the US presidential election she had pushed back hard against the Trump campaign's storm of advertising portraying her as a radical on transgender issues.
I argue that, even if her policy on the treatment of trans people was fully justified, she should have taken a position more in line with the views of American working class voters.

Why pulling the plug on pending prosecutions in advance is wrong
"These cases should go on until the plug is pulled by Trump so he has to take the hit of stopping the prosecutions against him. To cave in advance because of some policy, when these cases against anybody else would proceed to judgment, is abdication of the worst kind." -@tribelaw

The alleged assault took place in 2017, which also happened to be the year Hegseth had a child with his mistress - a married mom of three - while he was still married to his 2nd wife (whom he'd cheated on his first wife with).
Trump transition team had a meeting today to discuss sexual assault allegations against Sec of Defense nominee @PeteHegseth (he denies it)
