Is there an amount of wealth you can acquire that helps you sleep better at night when, as a specially appointed official representing the US, you side with and embrace a murderous dictator like Putin? Does material wealth make Witkoff feel good about that? How much does it take?

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.

Slippery slope. Suddenly people are empowered to “invest” their social security into Trump Crypto. FDR would be spinning in his grave if it weren’t for the wheelchair.
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

I feel bad for Francis Ford Coppola. This is the second or third article detailing what he’s had to part with since “Megalopolis” failed. Maybe it’ll be a classic in 20 years. He spent decades pitching it and believing in it, to now seemingly ruin him.

Hi fellow non-fascists. Quick message in the wave of the #BlueNami: Now is the time to pile this shit on. Been making three calls a day? Make six. Boycotting a handful of Trump-fluffing corporations? Make it bucketful. Kick these worthless demons while they're down.
Republicans are now reportedly at risk of their new gerrymandered maps backfiring because of how massive the blue wave appears to be.

Polls show that only 33% of Americans blame Democrats for the shutdown. But at this Atlantic staff Zoom meeting, that percentage feels much higher.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it
