THIS WAS ALWAYS THE PLAN

Trump is talking about repealing the ACA, stealing insurance from tens of millions, bringing back pre-existing conditions, and killing the filibuster to do it (since there better not be a single Dem vote for this misery). And the press needs to explain that because the plan is to elide all that.
Obamacare could collapse under Trump’s new plan, policy experts say
Republicans say giving health care subsidies as cash to consumers would give Americans more control over their coverage. Critics say it could severely undermine the ACA marketplaces.

Impacts to food access can have severe effects on public health. Find the latest #SNAP updates from DSHS. www.dshs.wa.gov/sites/defaul...
nfographic on the impact of a federal government shutdown on SNAP (food assistance) in Washington State. It states that nearly 1 million Washingtonians are at risk of losing assistance starting November 1. It breaks down the affected population: 930,000 total, 1 in 3 are elderly or disabled, 33% are children, and 30,000 are veterans. The infographic also shows the strain on the emergency food system, noting a record high of 13 million visits to food pantries in Washington in 2024 and that 1 in 4 residents visited a food pantry in the last year. Infographic detailing the negative economic impact of the SNAP cutoff on Washington's economy. It projects a loss of more than $285 million in economic activity, with every $1 of SNAP spending generating $1.54 locally. A map shows the state's most-impacted areas are the deep interior and rural regions. A table lists the Estimated Loss in Economic Activity by Congressional District, with District 4 losing $29,712,000 and District 10 losing $30,655,000. It also notes other impacts, including increased food insecurity, longer wait times for public assistance, and potential staffing issues at DSHS offices starting November 4.

Trump can't make up his mind on any of the big issues he cares about. He's rapid switching on Canadian tariffs, Ukraine, national guard deployments, and when on camera frequently forgets who people are and what he's talking about. I don't know how anyone sees this and thinks he's mentally fit.

There are going to be hunger riots. To be clear, that is what they want. That's when the National Guard gets orders. The only uncertainty is if the National Guard is going hungry too.

I've heard several people refer to Steven Miller as Trump's Goebbels but I really think in terms of personality and background he's more of a Himmler.

And yes, that's worse.

Headlines this morning are driving me crazy again. They're focusing on how inflation came out lower than expected at 3%, instead of the fact that 3% is still too high and the reason it's not higher is because lack of consumer spending is suppressing prices.

We’re only now, very belatedly, trying to rein in social media and all the harms it’s foisted on our societies. What many governments don’t seem to realize is that chatbots and image generators are repeating that cycle on steroids. Action must be taken now.

disconnect.blog/generative-a...
Social media regulation took far too long to arrive, and even then, it came in an imperfect form. But governments don’t appear ready to grapple with the reality that chatbots and image and video generators are speedrunning the harms caused by social media. The deceptive critical framing of the superintelligence argument has sent governments chasing that red herring as they try to present themselves as being friendly to tech investment to attract a small slice of the trillions of dollars being shelled out on generative AI and data centers. In short, they’re sacrificing the wellbeing of their citizens and arguably the foundations of a democratic society for a chance at short-term investment.

Today's quote from @mattsheridan.bsky.social I'll be stealing for later use:

"They've been being fed this shit for so long that now their only two options are either admitting they've been eating shit this entire time, or spending the rest of their lives pretending they love the taste of shit."

“New moderate coalition forming in WA Legislature”? Nope! The Seattle Times is promoting a Republican fantasy in its news pages
A Republican state representative who has been found to have repeatedly violated the House's workplace policies convinced Washington State's newspaper of record to run with her claim that there are Democratic senators ready to leave their caucus and join the Republicans if she's elected. It's a fabrication.
