“Older adults and people with disabilities will pay almost $203 per month in 2026 for their Medicare Part B premium, the Trump administration said late Friday. That’s about 10% higher than the $185 per month that Medicare beneficiaries pay this year. Rising health care costs are a major concern”
Medicare premiums to jump 10% heading into 2026
Most Medicare enrollees will face premiums that are 10% higher next year, creating budget anxiety for millions of seniors.

As Texas welcomes water-thirsty data centers powered by water-thirsty gas, remember that the state's water law follows the "rule of capture," which means that residents "can’t prevent someone next door with a bigger pump and a deeper well from sucking groundwater from underneath their property.”
Texas’s Water Wars
As industrial operations move to the state, residents find that their drinking water has been promised to companies.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

🎯🧵"Dems should say this right now, loudly and clearly: Anyone who is trusting Donald Trump, of all people, when he says what he’s directing you to do is lawful and that you’ll be protected later may be putting themselves in a very precarious position."
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

This was always where this was headed.

1/3 of Americans are currently living paycheck to paycheck. Another 3rd only has the equivalent of 3 months expenses in savings. Most people budget & know how much they purchase so when costs are up, it’s clear. I use apps & know what my items cost prior vs. now. I doubt I’m an exception here.

The SNAP fight at the Supreme Court is officially over. Trump's Department of Justice acknowledges that SNAP is now fully funded through the end of the fiscal year and thus withdraws its request for an additional stay. The end of the shutdown mooted the case before SCOTUS could touch the merits.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

David Axelrod stating on election night that Wilson had lost wasn't just premature and worthy of a "gotcha." It demonstrated a shocking lack of awareness of how Washington state elections work (esp. with all mail-in ballots).
Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.
