Well, I got a letter over the weekend that let me know if I choose to keep my BCBS silver plan here in VT for 2026, my monthly premium will be over $1500/month, or about $19,000 year. That’s not including copays and deductibles. This is just untenable. Everyone who voted for this, FU.

'The President and Satan get pulled away from the renovations at the White House to deal with a matter of National Security. Afraid of being exposed, the Vice President and Peter Thiel are forced to change their plans!

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.

Probably the most important thread going right now
Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.
It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.
Long thread.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
I don't know how to yell any louder.

I Am Suing the Department of Justice for the Epstein Files Training Videos
On July 20th, I was the first to report the existence of training videos instructing FBI personnel how to flag mentions of Trump and others in the Epstein files. Today, I'm suing for those videos.

I still think many Americans have no idea how bad this is going to get. I saw President Obama reposting a tepid, mealy-mouthed analysis by Ezra Klein—who's never seen a phenomenon he couldn't be 5 years late in incompetently circumscribing—and I felt like we don't have what it takes to survive this.

One bright light is, they wouldn’t be working so hard to gerrymander and illegally redoing the census if they thought the next election was already “fixed” by Musk or whomever, right? So there is still hope maybe.

I thought the South Park episode targeting Paramount and Trump was amazing, but I hated having to see Trump’s stupid face so much. It really makes me feel sick and angry.
