We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.
EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

SCOTUS majority is taking sides and they’re not taking yours. They oppose regulatory AND judicial AND state/local AND civil litigation authority to protect you. They oppose protecting you, period. They’re protecting themselves and their rich friends. You’re just collateral damage to them.

Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long.

Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

I don’t think this has really sunk in among the public. This President, all by himself, created a brand new tax that is going to wreck your reality for quite a while. He did it without authority, without Congress, without good cause, and without a plan to succeed. He screwed you all for money/power.
Imposing a 10%+ national sales tax through tariffs pretty much negates any benefit from tax free tips/OT, especially with all the job losses that will cause, which are effectively 100% taxes.
