Mad respect
Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.
It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders.

Something deeply fucked up when you can blindly break basic state functions and condemn millions to death and then people make you the richest man in the world instead of a pariah

Elon Musk is how you know James Bond is fiction
The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Reckless?
Were you planning on hiring Anil for a story and now you're not?
Is the ultimate failure of CN the linchpin that finally takes down democracy?
Is disparaging CN going to cause over-tourism in vulnerable locales?
Or are you just, I dunno, bad with words?

This is completely inaccurate and reckless. WIRED remains entirely committed to politics coverage and investigative reporting, with full support from our parent company.
The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. That’s the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogue’s stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the Condé portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

I will repost this to solely to amplify Mike Johnson's "slimy disingenuousness" and to remind all who will listen that slimy, disingenuous Mike Johnson is a Southern Baptist in good standing. FWIW
"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."
Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts
The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

This is your periodic reminder that the US spends more per capita in healthcare than any other developed nation, and twice as much per person as Canada. All these other countries have HC4A, without medical induced bankruptcies.

Another case of "christians" who cheat and lie to worm their way into positions of power, and then place their thumbs on the scales of justice
The takeaway is that only serious organization at the grassroots will destroy this pestilence
Also, get dark money out of politics
