Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

There's a lot we have not visualized in a useful way.

One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

We’re negotiating the exact perimeters of pedophilia so that Koch industries could get another tax cut.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

Ok when you say it like that….
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Quick reminder that Speaker Mike Johnson was a pet project of the disgraced child rapist, Paul Pressler.

Lil' Mike is protecting himself as much as he is Trump.

this is actually true but @jd-vance-1.bsky.social has been waiting for Trump to croak for months. He’s not gonna walk away although he should.

He should be like “I told you he was America’s Hitler. I was too much of an over ambitious weasel to heed my own warning until now.”

check out how pleased @kaine.senate.gov looks with himself
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

We should be so lucky.
That's his big solution: Slap his dumb name on it and the ACA will instantly be better. 🙄

They think it’s a challenging intellectual exercise #Shutdown
5) Dems showed (a) it's possible to get something out of "shutting down the government" despite what the pundits said, and (b) that they could hold together for 40 days. It's not a policy win, but it changes expectations for what they can do in the future, strengthening their negotiating position.

Here’s the thing about the #shutdown deal stupid #chuckschumer just made;

These people do not think of #maga as opponents. They see them as comrades.

Here’s #Biden ‘s ambassador to #Argentina congratulating #Trump ‘s ambassador.

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Stop indulging this asshole.
In his 11/1 TRO, Judge McConnell tried to use praise to keep the president in compliance: "The Court greatly appreciates the President’s quick and definitive response to this Court’s Order and his desire to provide the necessary SNAP funding."

I love this. Make living there mandatory, charge a 2% upkeep fee (not rent) deducted from their paycheck
The new Congressional Apartment Building.
All reps should have to live in public housing while serving their 2 years in Congress.

This single innovation removes huge barriers for young politicians and reinforces the populist foundations of Congress.

Social Democracy at work.

I voted for Mayor-elect Mamdani, notwithstanding the accusations of anti-semitism.

1. My #1 choice in the Democratic primary was Brad Lander, a councilman who is my doppelgänger (middle-aged progressive Jewish straight guy, married with children, smart and not flashy). He cross-endorsed Mamdani.

Modern conservative quandary: is opening a concentration camp for non whites still the Christian thing to do if it means taking our slaves away?
A perfect story for our times.

Nebraska is getting its own immigrant detention center like Florida's Alligator Alcatraz. But people are upset because the center is replacing a work camp that provides the local economy with cheap prison labor.
