Let’s start with just one of these: the “$25 million for doulas”.
1) The US is the only advanced country in the world where maternal mortality rates are actually getting worse.
2) We rank near last in infant mortality rate.
3) The $25 million equals .001% of the budget.

To put .001% in perspective:
It is the equiv. of spending one penny out of one hundred dollars.
And other advanced countries already pay for doula care.
The funding in the bill is literally a *pilot program* to test WHAT ALREADY WORKS IN PLACES WITH LESS SHITTY HEALTHCARE.

Our infant and maternal mortality rates are a sin. A national embarrassment.
But the New York Times is so committed to dishonestly undermining Biden and Dems, they’re criticizing spending ONE CENT per $100 to try to reduce our horrible infant and maternal mortality rates.

Now, here is a crazy idea, @nytimes.
What if…and I’m just brainstorming here…what if you cut the shit with your sleazy, dishonest undermining and wrote articles about things like our disgraceful maternal mortality rate and the imperative to improve it.
That would be nuts!

Imagine, @nytimes, a newspaper whose political staff actually anchored coverage on the real issues impacting Americans rather than on just concocting sleazy, bullshit.
Maybe your political coverage wouldn’t be such an abject open sewer of smug, self-congratulatory failure.
