Powerball jackpot tonight is 467,000,000.

So to get to a trillion, I’d only have to win a jackpot like tonight’s … 2,141 times.

To put it another way, I’d have to win the lottery, once a week, every week, for …

41 years

Hot streaks like that? Very rare. Have to be quite lucky. Fingers crossed.

Dear Lord, if he's not a set designer for special effects shots he should be

Tell those colleagues that every loophole we notice is one we're going to be committed to closing, so maybe they should stop showing us so many.

Trump has blatantly said he is withholding SNAP benefits in order to hold people hostage. Many people with commercial employer insurance will also be priced out of the market. Getting people off healthcare entirely is the point. Killing poor people is the point. It's punishment for Dems' defiance

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Not all of them. Maybe not most of them. But people who are generational Republicans who don't pay attention to anything but Fox? Some of them are starting to turn. Trump flags have come down here in Indiana and nobody wants to talk about him. Things are changing.

A+ neighbor game!

Do you think they anticipated commercial insurance going up so much so fast? Employer provided insurance is going to price a lot of people who *don't* use the marketplace out of insurance. I have no idea how we will afford a 30% increase on premiums that are already 40% of the paycheck.

I haven't had a neighbor like that since I was a literal child. You should take your neighbor some of the pudding 😁

I read the guardian for free. If I ever have money again they can have it. They actually do journalism.

And I have in the past subscribed to both WaPo and NYT, and had to cancel each after they took Trump's balls in their mouth and swished.

Then we basically don't have a country because Mike Johnson decided we didn't.

I'm not going to survive this year. There's no reason to continue here.

No. She's not allowed in the building unescorted. She doesn't have a key to her office, a workstation, or a budget to official hire anybody to answer the phone.

Something that will end Johnson is probably in those files, too.

We literally cannot boycott these billionaires. They're too deeply entrenched in society. If you use the Internet at all, you are giving these guys money one way or another. They control everything from food to soap, and make their money off stocks rather than just their own companies.

Apparently the lawsuit has been on the docket for 17 days with no movement. Dems need to have a federal judge swear her in. They won't, though, because right now the shutdown favors them in political opinion. That's where the spinal fortitude is actually coming from.

This is exactly what Trump is terrified of. I believe his modeling agency likely trafficked children through Epstein, and he knows his base, of pedo pizza freakout fame, will not forgive that. The people he served might Epstein him, then use eye drops before the eulogy, if he's caught.

Dems have no incentive to do anything to reopen the government right now

And Johnson.

We have to do something about the fact one single solitary asshole can shut the entire government down and keep it that away.

I've heard good things about Tidal but they have no free version.

I used to be able to afford to subscribe to one or two, but then covid hit and the journalists didn't have our backs. So now I'm too broken to afford anything and journalists have even less integrity but want more money. No.

There are no journalists in America unless they are visiting.

I got an ICE ad on YouTube last night

He won't do it. How are we going to deal with that?

If we find out what Trump has on him this ends immediately.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

What the fuck is wrong with the people running our government?

Maybe journalism needs to make itself affordable. It's generally in the neighborhood of ten dollars a month for each individual publication. People couldn't afford that *before* "journalism" refused to cover an insurrectionist narcissist candidate with a bad first term honestly and he got re-elected

"Make this investment in my company that's spending far more than it could ever make, the taxpayers won't let you fall into the middle class"

Where's she gonna find her fifth husband if the gays are allowed to snap up all the men?
