For 3 decades, it was conventional wisdom that the only way to build political power was to do favors for special interests and cash in their campaign contributions.
Then, in the last 3 years, Lina Khan — and Jonathan Kanter, and Rohit Chopra, and Pete Buttigieg, and Jennifer Abruzzo — showed up, and proved that the conventional wisdom was a lie.
If you do real, tangible things for the people — protect them from abusive incumbents, free them from noncompetes, or attack the companies that charge them exorbitant prices — the people can provide you with real, tangible support back.
Kamala Harris can choose this politics, led by true believers who are willing and able to govern — or she can choose the politics of the past. I hope she makes the right decision to move this country forward.

Replacing free sugars with non-sugar sweeteners does NOT help with weight control in the long term: 🆕 WHO guideline

You knew guns were having a widespread and devastating impact on American society. But maybe not THIS widespread. Our new @KFF survey shows how pervasive the impact of gun violence is on American families. kff.org/other/poll-finding/a… A thread 🧵

New study finds that girls who are abused show delayed maturation of brain's emotion-circuits, especially in those who developed later psychiatric symptoms. This may be because 'overreacting' is protective in abusive situations
