@emiliepfrank Lol it’s like you have made these for a living?

not the point but would it have killed someone to extend the bolding to “Home Rule” and “in our schools”

WIC is: - Highly effective, with participation linked to healthier pregnancies & births. - Underutilized, especially among pregnant women — about half of eligible pregnant women are missing out on WIC's benefits. WIC is also: - Targeted for cuts in Trump's FY2027 budget.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

US Supreme Court says GOP can gerrymander anything they want. Eliminates VRA. Virginia Supreme Court says Democrats can't (even when the voters vote for it). They overturn the will of the voters.

Warning for those who need to renew their passports. Get on it to avoid this.

The new VA-6 is the only Dem-leaning seat in VA where the redistricting vote is failing--I have it losing 51%-49% there atm. Part of that was probly b/c turnout in college precincts was down notably from what they cast last year (purple). Gold precincts had better turnout.

@JoshSchwerin @APStylebook @ACESEditors @creynoldsnc Boooo

@APStylebook @ACESEditors @creynoldsnc what say you

You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you. We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
