I frankly can't imagine caring about anything Donald Trump has to say on fkn Veterans Day, of all days. He's not one of us.

Imagine not firing Nico Harrison 10 months ago when he traded away a guaranteed first ballot hall-of-famer for Mr. Glass and destroyed fan trust for years to come. Whomst could have seen this coming?

A memory that I can still inhabit fully, marching in formation at Naval Station Great Lakes through the tunnel under Buckley Road, screaming "Anchors Aweigh" at the top of our lungs. I can still smell the damp and feel the cool as we passed into shadow, much nicer than the muggy Chicago summer air.

This Veterans Day, 1.2 million U.S. veterans who count on SNAP to afford food have been harmed, as the Trump Admin has been withholding benefits during the shutdown and the harmful Republican megabill's deep cuts mean many people will lose SNAP altogether.

IMO, even if Trump's illegal tariffs had collected $3 trillion (they haven't), that's my money. He levied unconstitutional taxes on the American people. Only Congress has that power.

Since I spend tomorrow's holiday in my home, hiding from free appetizers, figured I'd share as I head off to bed. This is my Veterans Day song. Has been for a long time. Happy your day, brothers and sisters. May it be a peaceful one.

When I was an armed courier, we were told that this is a felony in Oregon. Most states have laws against menacing or unlawful use of a weapon, was my understanding. Local PD and state agencies should apprehend agents who do this.

So, um, I'm given to understand that accepting a pardon is an "admission of guilt," according to Supreme Court precedent. So, that's going to play well in the state courts that have cases pending for the seditionists who tried to overthrow our democracy, I'd imagine.

It's okay, everyone. About 30% of federal employees are Veterans. We're used to our sacrifices meaning nothing to the power elite. The extra kick in the balls of it being on the day before Veterans Day just really drives home the fuck-your-feelings message from the Democratic Party.

I'm a healthcare analyst for a very large government homeless program. I want to be very clear that pricing people out of ACA insurance plans will kill them. Decades of studies indicate that connection to primary care saves lives (and saves us all money, if the whole SAVES LIVES isn't enough).

More primary care physicians could mean gains in life expectancy, fewer deaths.

Dunno, guys. I kind of trust Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. If she sent that SNAP case back to a lower court, I have faith that it was the best decision she could make in a terrible situation. I'm not a lawyer, but I do think she's on the side of justice.
