With the high winds in the Bay Area tonight the power is likely to go out in some areas. Best to be prepared!

UBI flips the model: stabilize the base, let money circulate upward, tax with equity

I wrote a full argument for UBI that aims to restore dignity to the nation and its people.

Read it. Sit with it. Share it if it lands.

We need to keep pushing that they release the Epstein files. Unredacted. If they fail to do this, the DoJ goes to jail.

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.

Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand:

Mike Johnson has lost control of the House, as we continue to push through petitions to force the votes he tries so hard to run from.

Congress may be closed for the Holiday, but their inboxes aren’t. Let’s flood them with messages and urge them to vote yes on extending ACA tax credits!

So they've apparently had 1000 agents working through the 300GB of Epstein files, and they've managed to release under 1% of them, and those wholly or heavily redacted.
Trump must feature in them an awful lot for the task to be so onerous.

When people say Bluesky is like 50% “Cheeto bad” posts that’s how I know their dislike of the platform is a skill issue. I have perfectly curated my feed and encounter fewer of these posts than I do on most other social media platforms

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply?

MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

Sometimes you work with cast or crew just once. Other times you make 5 movies with the same person. So instead of saying goodbye, on the last day of shooting, many of us say “See you on the next one.”

Today, I don’t want to say goodbye, so let me just say, PJ, my friend, see you on the next one.

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.
