There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.

She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

QAnon terrorist Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from Congress effective January 5th.

Good riddance, she’s a racist deranged dangerous islamophobic hateful idiotic insurrectionist and I for one am not falling for her fake rehab tour. GTFO.

As someone on SSDI, this means so much to me. I know how difficult it is to obtain these benefits. This is a PROMISE to each person eligible who paid into the program and NEEDS disability benefits. It's because people like YOU spoke out, called and said "NO MORE!". Thank you & KEEP UP THE PRESSURE.🙏
🚨A BIG WIN FOR EVERY SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENT! The Trump Administration via Social Security was planning on enacting a rule to make it very difficult for people 50+ who are eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits to receive them. THEY JUST DROPPED THAT RULE!

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Your regular reminder that eternal one-party domination by Republicans is not inevitable, Trump is not invincible, and when the far right receives even moderate pushback against their terrible ideas, they usually collapse.
multiple major setbacks for trump's effort to steal the midterm House election. CA passed their gerrymander; VA D win ensures they will pass theirs; IN refused to pass an R map, defying Trump; courts struck down TX map.

right now looks like outcome of all this could be to add *D* seats.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I AM SO TIRED OF THESE PRO-BIRTH NUMBNUTS

RELEASE THE KRAKEN
Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.

It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.

In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.
