New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Not a L&O fan but I've noticed most long-running drama series eventually turn into partial or full soap operas. Great exceptions are The Wire and The Sopranos.

I haven't heard a single serious economist concur. Long term huge capex investments simply won't happen in a chaotic climate where that decision you just made might become irrelevant 20 hrs or 1 year later. So people will just wait until someone else with brains is in charge again.

The Silence of the Generals As President Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line at Fort Bragg, the Army’s brass failed to speak out in its defense.

Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

β€œConservatives” are going to replace the most established and prestigious journals with government-backed propaganda.

He’s obviously also doing this because these journals won’t publish the crooked science he intends to perform to promote his crazy ideas.

Cost of GOP tax giveaways to corporations and the rich:

Extending the Trump tax cuts β€” $4.2 trillion/10 yrs
Restoring expired corporate tax breaks β€” more than $1 trillion
Additional Trump-proposed tax breaks β€” up to $5 trillion

β€œThe party of fiscal responsibility” is full of it.

Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.

Social Security now requires Maine parents to visit an agency office to register newborns The change β€” immediately criticized by pediatric health advocates β€” eliminates a program that allowed parents to fill out a form at the hospital to secure a Social Security number for their children.

Another ominous development: The Social Security Administration is no longer allowing parents in Maine to register newborns for SSNs at hospital after birth, is instead requiring them to visit a Social Security Office to register their children.

This is absolutely unhinged, even for Trump.

He’s going to tank the entire economy.

Medicaid covers nearly half of all children born in the country and around two-thirds of nursing home care for seniors.

The Republican Party is voting today on a budget framework with will gut Medicaid to finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.
