Question for U.S. of 2 years ago.

How likely POTUS and bros shut down govt to ensure $1T tax breaks to rich offset by hiking premiums, gutting Medicaid & ending SNAP? SCOTUS says SNAP must continue. Prez: nuh uh. Court folds. PREZ SAYS STATES'LL BE PENALIZED IF THEY TRY TO FEED STARVING FAMILIES.

And yet nothing beats your writing. Just spent 8 hours listening to *Needful Things* on a long drive. It's my second time through it. I'm again reminded of how you can hook together surprising turns of phrase as satisfying as a fast ball socked in a catcher's mitt.

No Kings, October 18 2025

One of the most magnificent vampire tales of all time.

The harm isn't just in the premium increase. The supposedly "clean" CR means I won't be able to get gender-affirming care right as I start Medicare, nor will any ACA plans reimburse gender care. I will have literally NO options. It's very clear to me that no one in Washington cares.

Thank. you.

You deserved it many times over. Your performance in House of Usher was riveting.

Dear rest of the world, no, we Americans are not ok with this. We're enraged. After many years of (fake) peace, we just struggle to comprehend the extent of this and to organize in unprecedented ways.

I devoured the book. As always, thank you.

Senator @sanders.senate.gov, what do we do now? You're one of the few people in DC I actually respect, who seems to have a firm grasp of what's happening. From my point of view, both the legislative and judicial branches of the government have capitulated to the man who is king in all but name.

Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

The worst form of addiction that this country now faces is the greed of the oligarchy.

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Hollyyyyyyyyy!!

It's soul crushing. Anyone who does any form of storytelling that manages to see the light of day deserves high praise.

Tweet showing a protest-style sign on a city street that reads, “We are officially living out the part of history that makes school kids ask, WHY DIDN’T ANYONE DO ANYTHING TO STOP THEM?”

You are here.

Every day, the news boils down to the same thing. More bad shit happened. One side says, "here's a detailed explanation of why this shit is bad." Other side says, "nuh uh. Shut up!" Everyone else keeps drowning in the bad shit wondering when someone's gonna, you know, fucking do something.

I'd love it too. Until the reporter got arrested, convicted of being a gang member, and deported to El Salvador. The biggest problem with this asshole is the power everyone seems comfortable giving him.

Musk is trying to buy votes in Wisconsin. Resend this if you’re from Wisconsin and you’re not for sale.

Interrupt every Trump presser. Get arrested. Make scenes. Make spectacles. Grind the working of Congress to nothing. Slow all approvals of all Republican appointees to a crawl. Call them all Nazis and KKK to their face and tell them why.

Social media post by Isis Wise (@Libs4Canada ) and Canadian and American flag icons, reading: 'A Dutch pension fund sold its entire stake in Tesla, reportedly worth $585 million.' The post includes a photo of a Tesla dealership building with the Tesla logo and two Tesla electric vehicles parked in front, under a cloudy sky.

This is the way. Write your pension fund, school, city comptroller and demand divestment from Tesla.

People Are Paying Millions to Dine With Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago Business leaders are paying as much as $5 million to meet one-on-one with the president at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1 million apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

I mean, literally impeach him a separate time for every instance of this.

He nails it.

😆😆😆💯

Congressman, you are one of the few rational, aware voices coming out of Washington, and even you admit that Congress is struggling to stand up to Trump (recent CNN interview). So what do we do? I'm just a person, not a billionaire.

"I will bring down inflation on day one."

😂😂😂😂

Seriously, they are doing this. And it sounds like the Trump administration supports it.

How?? I agree with you completely, but it has been near impossible to get enough people in Congress or the judiciary to organize and make a stand. We ordinary people continue to protest, and yet we so rarely make the news.
