Dear motherfucking democrats: when the president calls for a member of congress to be executed, I expect you to bring articles of impeachment, not send a fundraising email.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Underreported this year is the spike in all business insurance premiums. Our winery insurance premiums jumped over 60% in Washington. Anyone else run into this?
Almost two-thirds of small and mid-size business owners say they plan to increase prices next year as nearly all wrangle with inflation hitting their operations, a Bank of America report finds, yet many owners still expect higher revenue and plan to expand in the year ahead.
Most Small Businesses Planning Price Hikes As Inflation Escalates, Report Finds
Despite mounting pressure from tariffs and rising costs, small businesses remain “cautiously optimistic,” according to a Bank of America report.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Just for kicks I looked at what they took the tariffs off of last week. It's quite a list. What is shocking is that they put tariffs on this stuff in the first place. Communion wafers! www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Just hit both and get that turd down, my dude.
one of my lesser known hobbies is judging the buttons on dual flush mode toilets and how much the design requires that I guess which button does what
this particular button has a barely perceptible asymmetry so I suspect the right button causes more water to be used

You all realize that a 50-year mortgage would be used by private equity to buy every home on the market and rent it back to you, right? Private equity owns the banks- they’ll make money on both sides!

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Or put another way with the ACA we are subsidizing premiums, which flow to the insurance company as profit if the person doesn't get sick, instead of subsidizing the actual health care.
Nobody thinks doctors shouldn't be paid a lot. They should be paid at least as much as teachers.

Reminder:
Estimates for the cost of a Medicare for All system vary widely, but most projections put the 10-year cost between $32 trillion and $38 trillion.
Which is significantly below the estimated medical expenses of the current system.
In 2023, Americans spent $4.9 trillion on healthcare.

Holy shit we crushed it! No MAGA Republicans won here. (I’ll take 14% turnout as a good sign)
Election Day in North Idaho, which means I’ll be voting for a Republican for Mayor that basically said, “Maybe we shouldn’t have a city Charlie Kirk Day?”
The resistance takes all shapes and forms.
