Hello November.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

May you find a moment of stillness today – a deep breath, a ray of light, the warmth of a comforting thought. Even in uncertain times, love endures, kindness matters, and hope quietly takes root. I send you warmth and peace today.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

ACA Insurers Are Raising Premiums by an Estimated 26%, but Most Enrollees Could See Sharper Increases in What They Pay The amount health insurers charge for coverage on the ACA Marketplaces is rising 26%, on average, in 2026.... Most enrollees would face even sharper increases in what they pay if they ACA’s enhanced p...

Yes, it's only 114%

i encourage all of these assholes to continue to tell easily refuted lies that will absolutely enrage people while on camera

I mean, it's 2025, why the hell not.

My brother-in-law has severe autism and epilepsy, and lives in a group home with other people with complex health and developmental issues. TIL that while he receives SSDI, his food is paid for by SNAP. My in-laws are preparing to make sure he has food; not all his housemates have family resources.

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I can't reconcile a guy who wanders around a room in Japan, clearly confused (and saluting the Japanese flag!), with this master negotiator who fixes all our trade problems in one afternoon. What gives?

"I'm allowed to do whatever I want"

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

I'll be on MSNBC's @chrislhayes.bsky.social momentarily!

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

No senator should be even suggesting a president "go around the constitution" since each and every one of them swore an oath to uphold it!

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no social safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why? Because I'm not a selfish dipshit.

I am as outraged as anyone, but I couldn't find a source where he specifically said he was shutting the government down until January. The latest news seems to be a phone call with other republicans where he would not give answers even to them (just as egregious).

The Trump Media & Technology Group, which controls the social media platform, on Tuesday announced it would partner with Crypto.com to introduce “Truth Predict”, which would allow users “to react instantly to developments in major current events”.  Crypto.com previously donated $11mn to Trump causes. Earlier this year the Securities and Exchange Commission closed an investigation into the company, and on Friday, it announced that it applied for a US bank charter. In August, TMTG also signed a multibillion-dollar deal to buy Cronos, the tokens issued by Crypto.com, which sent their price soaring. “For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets — with Truth Predict, we’re democratising information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” said Devin Nunes, TMTG’s head.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?

Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.
