Dear MAHA—you’ve been conned by Trump and RFK Jr… food safety laws now decimated by industry lobbyists for their profits and your future diarrhea. Fun fact— food borne illness already surging since EFK Jr slashed CDC tracking system for food borne outbreaks. www.levernews.com/shutdown-dea...

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

On the NBC news now: the admin is threatening to cut 20% of air flights.
Everyone whose flight has gotten canceled should march on the Hill or their statehouses with big signs that say "GOP: Stop Being Massive Assholes & Support ACA Subsidies, Already"
Someone please organize this for Monday.

I'm no lawyer, but the Supremes seem unimpressed by the President's lawyer in the tariffs case.
Prediction markets have revised the probability of the White House winning (and the tariffs being found constitutional) from 45% to 30% in just half an hour.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.
