AOC Perfectly Sums Up the Big Problem in Shutdown Battle Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ripped Elon Musk, and offered an easy solution to addressing the “billionaire man-child.”

“How about the House add campaign finance reform to the CR so Republicans and Democrats alike can stop being so scared about what a billionaire man-child thinks before they vote on anything around here?"

@avcx.bsky.social is doing a subscription drive now and I recommend it to anyone who likes crosswords and is sick of the NYT.

Yes, I know you have a streak, but I didn't give mine a second thought after I stopped going to the NYT site. Be free!

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
