While looking for the name of a good ep I wanted to ask you to cover. I was reminded of Night of the Tarantula S6.E7. This one really is off the rails but in the best way. Very wild. The one I was trying to find was the first episode 'Deadly Lady'. Makes me smile.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

This is illegal, and yes this is the same guy who claimed he'd never heard of Project 2025. But there's a larger point to make here about public service. No one who wins elected office wins 100% of the vote. But everyone who holds public office represents 100% of their electorate.

Why would any Democrat vote for a continuing resolution that greenlights this regime's cruelty?

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."
Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'
The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

As @kenwhite.bsky.social has put it much better than I ever could, there is a stigma around depression that lingers mainly because people who don't have it don't understand it in a way that is meaningful. So I want to go down a path to shed light on part of it from my own perspective. (1/X)

And this is happening in exchange for renewing one of the biggest tax cuts in American history that will predominantly benefit people like...you guessed it...Elon Musk.

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

Trump's pause on tens of billions of dollars in federal spending is plainly illegal.
But his real goal isn't to shrink government. It's to get the Supreme Court to concentrate even more power in his hands.
