Trump administration moves to overrule state laws protecting credit reports from medical debt The Trump administration is moving to overrule state laws that protect consumers’ credit reports from medical debt.

This guy is just fucking brutal. Not only is he shutting down the government because he WANTS health insurance premiums to increase 2x+, but he wants to make sure that anyone that didn't pay a medical bill is prevented from getting a house or a rental contract.

He has to go!

Breaking WaPo:

The White House just fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency that was expected to review some of Trump's construction projects, including his planned arch in Washington. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

So, passed the senate with a simple majority, but the budget? 🤷

Oh, you know...

Seens like a pretty worthwhile thing to cover. What say you, @jaketapper.bsky.social?

End Citizens United.

But remember, money = speech and doesn't give the suggestion of a hint of an impression of even the slightest appearance of anything that could rise to a modicum of a scintilla of corruption.

This is the gradual squeeze on people that will bring reality home. Just enough people enjoy just enough comfort, they feel immune to the hardships.

I think Johnson is technically telling the truth, here.

The U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits a third presidential term. We should be more concerned that this is openly being debated right now.

Here’s all the journalists at CNN who resigned after their CEO Mark Thompson told them to scale back reporting on Trump’s demolition of the East Wing.

One thing that will be especially spooky this Halloween?

Candy prices 👻

They’re up more than 10% since last year as tariffs increase the cost of everything from chocolate to packaging.
