1/ For six months, I've been traveling the world on Pulitzer Ctr & Fund For Investigative Journalism grants investigating Trump's effect on HIV & LGBTQ health. On World AIDS Day, @theintercept.com is publishing an overview essay of Afeef Nessouli & my findings. theintercept.com/2025/12/01/w...
There is such sadness in knowing this would happen, and helplessly watching as it comes to pass.

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006.
They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents.
The margins? 62% to 38% in both.
A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread
yet another example of how actually saying what’s going on (a unilateral seizure of Congressional power) doesn’t sound “balanced” enough, so view-from-nowhere media can’t tell you what’s happening in plain language
What’s the story here
You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism.

Less than four hours to go.

We are so proud to announce our first new candidate of the cycle: @donavanmckinney.bsky.social in #MI13!
Donavan represents the future Democrats should be fighting for: working class people taking our power back from multimillionaires to deliver for everyday people.
Always with the people.
Our community deserves a Representative who actually knows how much groceries cost — and why that cost matters for families.
Instead, #MI13 has an out-of-touch multimillionaire who has more in common with Trump & Elon than any of us.
I'm running to replace him. Are you with me?
Really crucial analysis of the Trump-Bukele prison deal. Seems like there’s a lot of dangerous corruption lurking just under the surface.
Our voices are stronger when we howl together 🐺🐺
At today's March on Washington for Gaza, little kids' shoes and sandals ran down Pennsylvania Ave to represent the 17,400 Palestinian children that "the US has paid for Israel to murder."

maybe we shouldn't be disappearing students via secret police for opposing the actions of a state that behaves in this way
"nothing could have prepared us for the breadth or intensity of the assault on climate action that Trump has unleashed during his first months back in office."
I know it's hard to keep Trump's horrors straight, but in the fullness of history, this is likely to be seen as the worst.

New — Here is a running list of Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) offices that have either been fully eliminated or gutted into non-functionality as a result of today's mass firings (provided to me directly by a CDC staffer):
This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for “conspiracy to defraud the United States.”
This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices.
Uganda’s LGBTQ population was already struggling to cope with the fallout of a harsh anti-gay law when the disruption of U.S. aid put people at even greater risk. Vital medical supplies remain scarce, and members of LGBTQ groups increasingly report feeling depressed or suicidal.

Knowing my Iowa peeps back home I’m afraid that’s not nearly enough. But that + an ag industry collapse…maybe
