**Some Personal News** THE TEN YEAR WAR, my new book, is available for pre-order. It’s an effort to tell the story of Obamacare and, more broadly, the story of American politics over the last decade. (1) read.macmillan.com/lp/ten-year-wa…

@treeaston It’s a big challenge — maybe *the* big challenge — though you encounter a version in any transition to truly universal coverage A lot depends on the details, and it can help if you move there gradually huffpost.com/entry/bernie-s…

This is one of the big reasons I'm deeply skeptical of M4A as a means of achieving universal healthcare in this country. One of the reasons we're having a crisis with rural hospital closure is because they're over-indexed on Medicare patients and literally cannot afford to operate. Not hard to see that having disastrous effects in a nationwide scheme.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

It's pretty common for psychiatrists (like AES's wife here) to decline to accept Medicare because the reimbursement rates are relatively low, but remember that Medicare For All works in part by forcing providers to accept lower reimbursement rates! freebeacon.com/democrats/abdu…

Michigan GOP refers to El-Sayed by his full name — Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed — tipping their hand on how they might approach him as the nominee.

The Red Sox, down 2-0 in the ninth, come back to win 3-2 in the 10th. They've now won nine straight games to close out a wild first half. They hadn't swept three straight road series since 1977.

JD Vance was told directly the pet eating story was baseless before he shared it with eleven million people. He later admitted he "creates stories" to get attention. Today the TPS protections that hoax helped justify actually expired. Haitian workers lost the legal right to work. The lie became policy.

"It turned out that Vance mentioned this report after being told by the Springfield city manager that it was baseless. Apparently, Vance’s Christian conversion never got to the 'Thou shalt not bear false witness' part." Do not forget this: lnk.thebulwark.com/4vrZNap

The Red Sox were the worst team in the American League 17 days ago. This is wild.

Honestly… I’m at a loss for words with what this Red Sox team has done. Considering how many main stays are on the IL and a brand new coaching staff, this just wasn’t supposed to happen. The grit of this team deserves some love. Gotta keep going.

Will Lawrence, the Sunrise co-founder whose surge in a Michigan swing district has alarmed party strategists, once said older Black political leaders "defang the white left" in a podcast conversation. He said he regrets the comments. Story w/ @jbendery huffpost.com/entry/surging-…

There are incredible new cancer drugs every year that are showing promise at defeating cancers that were previously guaranteed death sentences — and the Trump administration is doing everything it can to illegally kill the grants that fund the research. MAHA indeed!
Politics & Poll Tracker 📡@PollTracker2024

Former Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) says in an interview this week that his tumors shrunk by 80% thanks to new cancer drug Ben Sasse: “I'm down 99%, in five months, of how much cancer is in my blood.”

Ro and I visited the destroyed village of Zanuta and the site of an EU-funded school that got burned down by settlers. It was here that we got intercepted and captured by settlers wielding American-made rifles. The IDF showed up to back up the settlers, not the U.S. congressman.

Israeli settlers armed with clubs, rocks and a knife blocked our way and attacked us & another group of journalists today in the occupied West Bank. At the same location where settlers beat US citizen Saif Musallet to death, exactly one year ago today. Our full report will air on @CNN on Monday. cnn.com/2026/07/11/mid…

Keep thinking about the “We don’t want candidates grown in vats” line from Platner’s guy. I think being responsible, stable, and very ambitious in pursuing public service are pretty admirable actually and I’m weary of the denigration of politicians as inherently evil

Reiterating what I wrote 48 hours ago: "Trump campaigned on mass deportation, and we elected him...All we can do now is act quickly and unambiguously to reject these policies, and defeat the spirit of indecency and inhumanity that lies behind them." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

Unprecedented joint statement from the leaders of the Michigan AFL-CIO, MEA and UAW excoriating a Democratic governor. The reaction in Democratic circles toward the Whitmer vetoes could be described as peak furious.

Public pressure and strong reporting work. This is a 180 change of sentiment by Whitmire. We cannot have federal law enforcement simply shoot people in the street. DHS and FBI are not reliable investigators.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow

Houston Mayor John Whitmire: For the Salgado family, life will never be the same. At no fault of theirs, Mr. Salgado was chased by a unmarked vehicles. Before he could identify himself and speak as a Houstonian, he was shot and killed. We will use all of our resources to pursue an independent and transparent investigation.
