Scenes From the Bat Cave
:
Hospitals owned by Steward Health Care have descended into chaos.
Maureen Tkacik recounts all the gory details, including including bat
poop, sewage leaks and repossessed deli meats.
Larry Hogan's Maryland Senate Campaign Just Got Harder
:
Former GOP governor Larry Hogan is trying to distance himself from his
party's extreme views on reproductive rights in the Maryland Senate
race, especially after Alabama's unpopular ruling on IVF. Gabrielle
Gurley writes how Hogan's dilemma could be good news for Democrats
defending their Senate majority.
Starbucks Stops Opposing Its Baristas' Union
:
Starbucks has agreed to come to the bargaining table and negotiate with
Workers United to create a master contract applying to all unionized
stores, with potential add-on contracts for issues specific to
particular shops. Harold Meyerson has the story.
Davos in the Desert, on the Coast
:
In a world where the U.S. is engaged with a cold war with China,
American elites have decided it's fine for them to embrace Saudi Arabia,
human rights abuses and all. Jonathan Guyer reports from last week's
Saudi investment conference in Miami.
Iowa Sees Little Progress on Gun Violence Prevention
:
Even after the tragic shooting at Perry High School and increased
demands for reform from students across the state, Iowa lawmakers have
still yet to take action to pass gun safety legislation. As Gerard Edic
explains, this dynamic-of tragedy, then activism, and ultimately
inaction-is all too familiar.
