Why? What was the reason? The shutdown stunt didn't piss off enough people? Does it seem advisable to take away people's jobs, incomes, and healthcare and now their treats, too?

Erika Kirk has openly bragged that she is more far-right than Charlie was. She’s led Turning Point USA’s fascist trad wife conference for years and her speeches are filled with the same hateful venom as her husband. Really sick shit to boost this woman’s profile when TPUSA should rot into obscurity.

Normal people love being surprised every year by how much their medical insurance costs and whether the market is radically restructured. That's the kind of Russian roulette with five chambers loaded that they all voted for.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

If art is a machine that generates empathy, AI generated art is a machine that generates apathy. It erodes trust and human connection. The entire point of it is to make solidarity impossible, because it becomes unimaginable.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I’ve been trying to say this for a while, but I feel like no one is really listening to me who’s obsessively focused on the “groyper problem” at the expense of everything else. The issue with unhinged far-right streamers goes beyond Fuentes and the groypers. Things have been cooked for years.
