Excusing child r*pist because the victims were 15 instead of 8 years old is a hell of a take.
If you haven’t seen this SiriusXM video in which Megyn Kelly excuses Epstein and others for rape by stating that they weren’t sexually abusing eight-year-olds, only 15-year-olds, save yourself the time.

It’s vile.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.
Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

I found my mother’s copy of Interview with a Vampire at a very interesting time in my psychosexual development.

Other than that, The Hobbit and The Jungle Book made me appreciate language.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Regular people got furloughed, lost SNAP benefits, had flights cancelled, facing losing their health insurance and worked without pay.

Some rich, well-insured senators got cold feet.

They got scared, uncomfortable and they caved.

For NOTHING.

Republicans do not compromise. Ever.

Such bullshit

You go into a knife fight knowing you will get cut.

Doesn’t mean the fight isn’t worth it.

Time to choose a new fighter. Schumer is scared of getting cut.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Trump is already trying to figure out how to buy back voters with a $2000 check.

I know this is scary. But what’s Dems’ endgame?

Hold out one more week—ACA open enrollment has just started.

The air traffic controllers are starting to buckle.

People are blaming republicans for prices.

Hold.

I am really hoping that a result of this SNAP emergency will be that more people realize just how much the program helps everyone—not just in feeding hungry people, but by putting money directly into communities.

SNAP cuts are going to raise food prices across the board.

In normal, functioning democracies, when a governing majority doesn’t pass a budget, 1/more of 👇 happens:

- funding continues at current levels
- a vote of no confidence
- snap elections

The nonsense we have normalized & tolerated by reifying our broken constitutional order is that kids starve.

I reached another old person milestone: Self surgery.

I cut a skin tag off just under my eye.

*Opens NYT*

Prominent opinion piece: Did Woman Ruin the Workplace?

How does this fucking garbage get this kind of coverage?

Women have been in the workplace since time fucking began.

This is not some new, woke invention.

Fuck you @NYT.

Fuck aaaaaallllll the way off.
