KRUGMAN: “Republicans don’t care about deficits & debt, they care about trying to prevent Democrats from spending money on helping people.” 🎯

The inflation calculator puts that at $2,687 in today’s dollars.

As if legality meet anything to these people.

Good morning to everyone trying to explain Daylight Saving Time to their cat.

Clintonville and Statehouse

Thanks, New Yorker

#ScienceUnderSiege went to press months ago. But this ending paragraph feels like it really resonates today:

Rally Plans: Tuesday, 9/23/25 at the Columbus ABC 6 affiliate at 1261 Dublin Road, from 2:30-3:30. We want people to bring signs about Free Speech and in defense of Jimmy Kimmel. We are asking that everyone bring a written statement /letter to give to the station on why this is a bad move.

Today is National Voter Registration Day! Make sure you are vote ready for the upcoming election, and help others be ready, too.
Register or update your registration @ olvr.ohiosos.gov by October 6.

I suspect getting an F from these guys is probably something to be proud of? Most of their funding is from conservative and libertarian groups. You need to ask whose speech are they worried about protecting.

Amen

The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common good—keeping the common good in mind—is a moral attitude. It recognizes that we’re all in it together.

Please circle October 18 on your calendar and start to spread the word about this important day of protest. NO KINGS IN AMERICA!!

I wonder if the South Korean #Hyundai workers will tell stories of going overseas to a technologically backward country, with the aim of providing training and work opportunities for the natives. But the uncivilised natives were frightened by change and technology and locked them up. 🤔 #USPolitics

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

Exactly @warren.senate.gov - say it!

Shut It Down If You Have To Democrats should fight by demanding big concessions and shutting the government down if they don’t get them

In an urgent clarion call to Democratic leaders, as the government funding fight heats up once again, Jay Kuo argues it's time for decisive leadership. It's time to stand up to fight MAGA fascism. It's time to demand concessions. And if you don't get them, shut down the government if you must.

When we traded in our 10 year old gas car for an Chevy Equinox EV I was worried about high insurance rates but we only saw a less than $19/month increase. Which seemed pretty cheap.

But only Democrats probably.

RFK is secretary of Hazards and Human Suffering. His testimony today shows his staggering incompetency and his complete indifference to the truth — indifference that is costing lives.

He must be impeached before he harms more people. #ImpeachRFK

I am no Ryan stan but I am all for a gubernatorial primary. If Acton can’t beat Ryan in a Democratic environment, what hope does she have in a General Election?

His presence would be a good thing, honestly.

Because other celestial objects are moving too, it’s easy to forget that as our planets and moons revolve around the sun, it’s moving around the core of a galaxy that’s moving “outward.”

This is the problem with stories in which they travel in *time only* : Earth wasn’t “here” 10 minutes ago.

The hate of it all "Elections have consequences," as Springfield is about to find out.

Today's Rooster dispatch:

💥 Springfield set to pay the consequences for its Haitian hate

💥 The origin of Sherrod Brown's one-sided feud with Tim Ryan

💥Ohio medical marijuana patients (past and present) at risk for identity theft

Every State Representative should be issuing an identical statement.

I asked an AI to help me visualize how this might work:
