I’ve done everything from Boy’s State Senator, writing bills when I was a kid, to acting for 15 years, teaching Stage Fencing; loves all things in Nature, worked for Division of Libraries-NYU to Pac Tec to COBRA call center Specialist. Trying to help!
It is with profound sadness that I read of the passing of alumnus and friend Tim Mollen (@timmollen.bsky.social).
He joined here 6 months ago and had been quiet for quite some time.

Sure, grandpa. Because everything was going so well. 🙄 These deals are worth about as much as the paper they are not written on and we need to act accordingly.

Were Trump to succeed in his quest to get rid of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, the result would be chaos in the markets, James Surowiecki argues. “That would very likely lead to higher interest rates, which is the exact opposite of the outcome he wants.”
Why We Should Care About Jerome Powell’s Job Security
Trump wants to get rid of the Fed chair—if the markets will let him. We all have to hope he won’t gamble on that.

FYI: Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans. That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

The ultimate hypocrisy of the party which bans abortions-
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
