Bloomberg Gives $1.5 Million to Pro-Cuomo Super PAC

If Michael Bloomberg was concerned with the wellbeing of his city and its people he would be writing massive checks to food banks instead of continuing to pour money into a sex pestโ€™s long shot campaign for mayor www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/n...

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal child care next week New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who championed the new initiative, told CBS News it would save families an average of $12,000 a year.

Parents in New Mexico will no longer have to pay for child care starting next week, regardless of their income, making the Land of Enchantment the first state in the nation to offer free universal child care.

Dutch Voters Deliver Major Setback to Far-Right Party of Geert Wilders

Good news from Netherlands. By no means a great victory -- a small one, incomplete -- but a step in the right direction at a time when the wrong direction exerts so much gravity. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

This moment when itโ€™s been going on for too long and everybody is exhausted and not thinking straight is the most entertaining part of baseball games, auto races, surgeries, and political campaigns.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just wonโ€™t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: โ€œNobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobodyโ€™s worth less.โ€ It is an egalitarian view that Iโ€™ve carried around in my life. Thatโ€™s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. Itโ€™s not. Itโ€™s only freedom to exploit people.

Something I love about archival films is that when someone had a couple feet of film left on a roll they'd often use it to film their cat. So many films finish with a few seconds of cats

So, here's some cats from the 1950s and 60s. They were loved

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

Yes, theyโ€™re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.

No, they donโ€™t have to.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?
