Great piece on Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' moment. This phrase could be the new shorthand way to explain how abusers silence their victims. Keep quiet or be punished cruelly.

One of my favorite bookstores in the DC area, People's Book, revealed the Republican lobbyists who bought bulk orders of GOP Sen. McCormick's dumb new book from the store to goose sales numbers. Then it gave all the profits from the sale to an immigrant charity. www.washingtonian.com/2025/08/01/d...

Today Trump announced our healthcare information will now be shared with dozens of private tech companies. Oh, and our healthcare will be supplemented by “conversational AI assistants.” Nothing wrong with that at all. No sirree. This will all be fine, I’m sure… 😱
