1/ Man, The Pitt is so good!

I was thrilled to see they decided to bring back the measles plot from season one because it’s so relevant right now. We’re on the brink of losing our measles elimination status, yet I still hear people brush off measles like it’s no big deal.

Republican economics in 2026:

1: Defund renewable energy projects

2: Start a war encompassing the Strait of Hormuz

3: Spend money to escort (& make targets of) oil tankers

4: Profit off increased oil prices & paramilitary operations

5: Tank the stock market & buy everything so poor people can't

You can have the Navy escort oil tankers.
You can underwrite shipping insurance, too.

It doesn't keep rates from doubling in other sea lanes.

Bottom 80% of Americans are expected to be worse off from the combination of Trump's tax bill (OBBBA) and tariffs.
Bottom 30% will be worse off from Trump's tax bill (OBBBA) alone, mainly from spending cuts on Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP).
So, guess who wins?

10 permanent jobs for $4.5 million dollars of state funds?!?!

Data centers DO NOT pencil out for workers, taxpayers, or ratepayers.

Montanans don't want to compete with data centers for their electricity.

Why are so many people acting like any of this is normal?

2 hours of voting ballots are being held and probably won’t be counted.

People literally had their right to cast their vote taken away and alleged democrats are taking victory laps because Black Voters were disenfranchised?
