It’s possible these are deliberate omissions - either to try and focus on people (over politics) or save for a “reveal” later in the series. But it’s an odd disconnect. Would be like assigning a top writer to big series on struggling soybean farmers that ignores Trump’s tariffs.pic.twitter.com/RBn5ghxEIH

Amazing how those vitally important details seem to somehow always end up on the editing room floor. (If they ever make it into the piece in the first place.)

Missouri residents in poor health: "Would you like Medicaid to be expanded? If it was, you would get free healthcare, but you will need to vote for the Dem's". "No, I'll pass on free healthcare, and I will vote for the GOP, because the brown people are gonna come take my stuff"
