  6. Until Sen. Bernie Sanders began holding rallies in Republican-held districts to address DOGE’s destructive impact on federal workers and programs,
    most progressives had not dared to dream of rural America as fertile ground for a backlash.
    But it’s central to the concept of the "Rural Urban Bridge Initiative" ( #RUBI ),
    a group determined to breathe new life into rural organizing strategies.

    Conceived in early 2020 by
    #Anthony #Flaccavento, a small farmer, former Democratic congressional candidate,
    and community organizer in southern Virginia, and
    #Erica #Etelson,
    a political writer and former public-interest attorney based in California,
    -- RUBI is kindling a new way to approach -- and ultimately advance -- rural concerns within the progressive movement.

    Through training sessions,
    reports from local experts,
    policy development,
    and traditional volunteer work,
    RUBI hopes to #depolarize rural politics and persuade other activist groups to #engage in good faith with the needs, fears, and aspirations of rural communities.

    RUBI’s most prominent effort to date is its campaign to convince the "Democratic National Committee" and the broader fundraising network on the left
    👉to devote substantially more resources to rural causes.

    Since #Ken #Martin, chair of the "Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party",
    was elected in February to head the DNC,
    RUBI has lobbied him to allocate $400 million
    —10 percent of the Democratic ad buy for the 2024 general election
    —toward rural districts and candidates.

    Although RUBI has yet to secure Martin’s commitment,
    co-signatories to the public letter include Rep. #Ro #Khanna (D-CA),
    author and sociologist #Arlie #Hochschild,
    veteran Texas populist #Jim #Hightower,
    two state party chairs
    and dozens of county committees,
    and scores of other individuals and organizations
    alarmed by Democratic decline in rural areas.

    ✅ Rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.

    Regardless of the DNC’s final decision,
    the campaign testifies to the perseverance of rural progressive populism.

    It reflects, too, a growing recognition on the part of local groups committed to the welfare of rural workers
    -- that they are not isolated in their anger over how national Democrats have burned through billions of dollars in the last several election cycles without improving their position in a single “purple” state.

    🆘During Barack Obama’s presidency, Democrats lost well over a thousand congressional, statewide, and local down-ballot offices.

    Tentative gains in critical presidential swing states since 2018 have been largely offset by Trump’s comeback;
    -- He won all seven in November.

    Other states where Democrats used to be competitive across the board,
    such as Florida and Ohio,
    are poised to go the way of Missouri, Indiana, and Arkansas.

    A recent study from the "Carsey School of Public Policy" at the University of New Hampshire suggests that
    💯a shift among rural voters to Kamala Harris of just 3 percent could have led her to victory over Donald Trump.

    👍If even just a few dozen rural Democrats from the South and Midwest won back offices controlled by the GOP,
    there could be a tectonic shift in how the party competes at the gubernatorial, congressional, and presidential levels.

    As RUBI’s founders know well,
    it is a herculean task just to get the party elite to admit the main facts
    —that austerity, trade shocks, and monopoly power have distressed rural America
    —much less own their own culpability in these issues.

    But although it is tempting to place all the blame on party elites, the same, unfortunately, can often be said of the major progressive groups that have cropped up since the Bush years,
    Flaccavento argues. 

    The overriding focus,
    he says, on
    “call[ing] out how horrible the Republicans are 24/7”
    has left little energy to discuss what matters to rural folks:
    👉“jobs, employment, the economy, livelihoods, manufacturing, trade policy, [and] antitrust.”

    🔥This, then, is how rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics:

    not through conferences, white papers, and viral media,

    ⭐️but by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.

  13. #Dennis #Gaitsgory has dedicated the past 30 years to proving the #geometric #Langlands #conjecture.
    Over the decades, he and his collaborators have built an extensive body of work, forming the foundation of the new proof.
    Although the geometric Langlands program is highly abstract, it forges deep connections between different mathematical structures
    and has the potential to drive breakthroughs in theoretical physics, number theory, and even quantum computing.
    The #Breakthrough #Prize was established in 2012 by Sergey Brin (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), and others to recognize outstanding researchers for their groundbreaking discoveries.
    It is awarded in the fields of life sciences, physics, and mathematics.
    In 2016, the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences was awarded to #Svante #Pääbo from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig,
    and in 2022, to #Anthony #Hyman from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden.

  14. #David #Shulkin, whom Trump had appointed to head the V.A.,
    made multiple visits to Palm Beach to consult with the troika that officials came to call “the Mar-a-Lago crowd.”

    “There probably weren’t too many times I met with the President when he didn’t say,
    ‘What’s happening with Ike?’ ”
    Shulkin once said.

    When Perlmutter visited Washington, Shulkin told me,
    “I would get a call
    —‘Could you come over to the White House?
    Mr. Perlmutter’s here with the President.’ ”

    Shulkin was fired by Trump, in March of 2018, amid a controversy over an expensive trip to Europe that Shulkin had taken at taxpayers’ expense.

    Within hours, he went public with accusations that the story had been hyped by Trump political appointees who were intent on privatizing many of the V.A.’s services.

    Shulkin told me that he never fully understood why Perlmutter,
    who had not served in the U.S. military or even visited a V.A. hospital until Shulkin took him to one,
    had been given such power over the agency.

    He described Perlmutter as “a private-sector guy” whom Trump admired as a self-made man,
    someone who “had started with very little and built empires.”

    The problem, as Shulkin saw it, was that Perlmutter had little idea of what he was doing.

    “Because he never worked in government, he didn’t understand government,” Shulkin told me.

    “Part of my role was always trying to translate
    —‘That isn’t the way we could do things in this organization.’ ”

    Perlmutter, however, has remained close to Trump.

    He and his wife gave $21 million to a super pac supporting Trump’s bid in 2020,

    and, in 2024, they bankrolled a new pro-Trump super pac,
    "Right for America",
    donating another $25 million.

    By September, Right for America had raised some $70 million,
    which it has spent on an advertising blitz this fall.

    The venture drew support from other longtime members of Mar-a-Lago,
    including the Newsmax founder #Christopher #Ruddy, who gave $100,000,
    and #Anthony #Lomangino, a South Florida waste-management mogul,
    who donated $7.85 million.

    #Scott #Bessent, another hedge-fund executive often mentioned as a possible Trump Treasury Secretary,
    also contributed $100,000.

    🆘 Perlmutter’s highly unusual role in the first Trump Administration appears to have become something of a template for outside influence in a second term.

    In March, when #Elon #Musk met with Trump at Peltz’s house for breakfast,
    they discussed a broad advisory gig for the tech billionaire on such matters as immigration and the economy
    —“in the mold of the role” that Perlmutter had played at the V.A.,
    according to the Wall Street Journal.

    By August, after publicly endorsing Trump,
    Musk had fleshed out the idea.

    During a lengthy live-streamed conversation with Trump,
    Musk suggested that a commission was needed to investigate how to rein in government spending.

    Such a panel, Musk posted on X, “would unlock tremendous prosperity for America.”

    Weeks later,
    during a speech at the Economic Club of New York,
    Trump formally announced his support for a
    “government-efficiency commission”
    that would
    “conduct a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government.”

    He proposed that Musk,
    despite having received billions of dollars in government contracts and subsidies for his ventures SpaceX and Tesla,
    should chair the effort.

    Soon, Trump was calling Musk his future
    “Secretary of Cost Cutting.”

    It sounded like a more ambitious version of a project that Trump had launched early in his Presidency,
    when he named the billionaire investor #Carl #Icahn as a special adviser in charge of overhauling federal regulations.

    Icahn left the role less than a year later,
    when an article in this magazine raised questions about potential conflicts of interest.

  16. Analysis: Abortion pill access may be endangered by this 19th century law

    The Wild West of the post-Roe v. Wade legal landscape is focused on a lone federal judge in Amarillo, Texas, who could use a 19th century law to limit access to abortion medication for every American woman.

    The judge, 45-year-old #Matthew #Kacsmaryk, held a hearing Wednesday about whether he should impose a preliminary injunction that would require the US Food and Drug Administration to withdraw or suspend its approval of the drug, #mifepristone, while a larger case progresses.

    Mifepristone is taken along with another drug, #misoprostol, as part of the two-step #medication #abortion process.

    Misoprostol can be prescribed on its own, but it is considered less effective.

    Kacsmaryk, who sounded open to the idea of restricting access to mifepristone, will have to agree with some or all of these general points raised if he decides to issue an injunction:

    * That doctors who don’t perform abortions and live in Texas, where abortions are already banned, are harmed by abortions conducted elsewhere

    * That a single federal judge in Amarillo should do what no federal judge has ever done and unilaterally rescind an FDA approval.

    * That a drug, which studies suggest is on par with ibuprofen in terms of safety, is actually so harmful it should be reconsidered by the FDA.

    CNN’s Tierney Sneed wrote a longer list of takeaways from the hearing, where anti-abortion rights doctors and activist groups teed up their lawsuit in Kacsmaryk’s courtroom to further limit access to abortion care in the US.

    It’s important to note that no matter what Kacsmaryk does, it will be #appealed up through the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals and potentially to the Supreme Court.

    But perhaps the most incredible question Kacsmaryk faces is whether an #1870s #chastity #law named for an anti-vice crusader, #Anthony #Comstock, should be resuscitated and applied to the medicine that now accounts for a majority of US abortions.

    Comstock operated the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice and was a special agent of the US Postal Service. He was known for seizing contraband like contraceptives and condoms in the name of rooting out obscenity, according to the New York Historical Society.

    Mary Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis who has written about the Comstock Act for CNN Opinion, described Comstock as being “obsessed by what he saw as the decaying morals of a country preoccupied with sex.”

    Ziegler writes:

    The law he inspired #barred not just the #mailing of “#obscene #books” but also #birth #control and #abortion #drugs and #devices.

    In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the #Comstock #Act was used to prohibit the mailing of many literary classics, from Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” to works by James Joyce and Walt Whitman
