This is me at 15. I’m a child.
I’m a CHILD.

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Can you please tell your mom that there have always been income limits on qualifying for ACA subsidies. Just heard an interview with her saying she agrees with GOP that there should be income limits. While you're at it, can you ask her for proof of "fraud" she says may be in the program? Thanks

Just heard a brief interview with Sen. Shaheen in which she says she agrees with Republicans that there needs to be income limits on affordable care subsidies. There are income limits, always have been. It seems like Shaheen, GOP and the political reporter don't know this.

FBI Director Kash Patel Waived Polygraph Security Screening for Dan Bongino, Two Other Senior Staff As the FBI’s deputy director, Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau backgr...

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel granted waivers to Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two newly hired senior FBI staff, exempting them from polygraph exams normally required to gain access to America’s most sensitive classified information, officials said.

Trump's 'Department of War' rebrand could be outrageously expensive This isn't the "efficiency" we were promised.

The Trump administration's Department of War rebranding effort looks even more foolish than it initially appeared, thanks to an eye-watering price tag. “Trump’s directive to change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War could cost as much as $2 billion,” NBC News reports.

After Trump Split, Epstein Said He Could ‘Take Him Down’

The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

And of course: ”Did women ruin the workplace?” New York Times 2025

The NYT has some explaining to do.

Stop me if you've heard this before:

If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF???

They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.

Good question…

Jack Schlossberg, Social Media Provocateur, Gives Politics a Try

In Maureen Dowd's profile of Jack Schlossberg, who is thinking of running for Congress, he mentions he doesn't like clubs or restaurants and cooks simple things: "He said he’d be happy just eating mayonnaise out of a jar."

That won my vote!

Thanks to a commenter on a WSJ article about Kash Patel, I learned a new word: kakistocracy

Oh

FedEx bill for $150

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion.

WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out.

Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

If Senate Dems settle for nothing, they stand for nothing

One of the most important provisions of the ACA was eliminating pre-existing conditions exclusions from insurance plans.

Folks need to be reminded that if the ACA goes away, so does that provision.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

🚨Hey, everyone. I got this DM today. It is NOT from Bluesky management. It is from a faker acct.
Pass this on in case others get it. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.
