I've been borrowing books from Dallas Public Library for years & always just used my DL on checkout. I didn't even know they had an actual card until today.
It features Brad Oldham's iconic affable Traveling Man & Bird friend reading together. I got choked up holding it.
I💗my library.

When asked about his goals, an IDF soldier said he wanted to “enter Gaza and kill everyone.” The interviewer chuckled.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death.

So I looked it up. For coverage to start on Jan 1 you have to be enrolled by Dec 15. You can still enroll up until Jan 15, but you will not have coverage between Jan 1 and the day you enroll? Assuming they get a deal for the subsidies to come back before Jan 15. Feel like they are not even trying.
Also, I am very stuck on "what good would this do even if they actually got the ACA extensions sometime in December" in light of the fact open enrollment closes when? Like a lot of people just won't get insurance this year. Even if they get a deal it may be too late to buy a plan knowing the premium

Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

Bernie Sanders is talking about how American's healthcare premiums might "double or triple" but mine is so high (from $50 to $1228) that I inadvertently learned the tuple of 24.
My monthly healthcare premium for 2026 is quattuorvigintuple my current rate.
My monthly healthcare premium for 2026 is quattuorvigintuple my current rate.
I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
