I can’t let down the 32,00 people in my district now facing skyrocketing healthcare costs. Their tax dollars should be spent on them, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure they get the healthcare funding they need.

The American people wanted the government to reopen with their healthcare protected. What Congress just passed doesn’t do that and it doesn’t represent the priorities of folks in Southwest Ohio.🧵👇🏼

The NYT deciding to go all in on making my trans child’s life substantially worse while they protected SEVERAL child abusers is the kind of thing that could really fucking mess me up if I let it. It’s gonna be a rage knit night I guess.

CLAIM: The government is run by a secret society of pedophiles RATING: FALSE. This society is in no way a secret

At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will - end the Trump Presidency - implicate many other prominent Republicans - destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday? What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators? Can we make this a thing?

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

I’m loving this for her.

All these horrible Epstein emails being in GMAIL means he was getting ads based on his crimes and that's pretty fucked.

MAGA men are now saying the quiet part out loud: they want to repeal the 19th Amendment and strip women of their right to vote. Todd Beeton examines this ugly trend. Also, Jay Kuo unpacks the real failure underlying Senate Democrats' deal to reopen the government.

Dr. Tiscareno is also interested in how moons rotate. He was part of a team that used a tiny wobble in the rotation of Saturn’s moon Enceladus to prove that the moon’s subsurface water extends globally as a subsurface ocean. Learn more about his work: buff.ly/zL19orr

It was 40 years ago today (Nov 11, 1985) that Ralph Winter called from Los Angeles and left a message on the phone in my apartment in Honolulu, asking me if I'd like to work on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In doing so, he changed my life. Thanks, Ralph!

Remember www.cnn.com/2020/10/26/p...

The Idea that Republicans care for The US Citizens they represent is more than laughable it is delusional.

Republicans have been promising a new, better healthcare plan for over a decade. They had nothing. They still have nothing. They just want to give more tax breaks to the very wealthy. They don't care at all about Americans or American healthcare.

Land doesn't vote. People do.

Evil does not even cover the tip.

A 50 year mortgage reduces the payment on a $300,000 loan by just $100 per month while adding $150,000 in total interest Once again, Trump is running a scam

Trump and the Republicans want you to be in debt forever, rather than working to create affordable housing.

The Natl Assn of Realtors reports that the average age of a first time home buyer in 2025 is 40. For a repeat buyer, it's 62. How is that supposed to increase home ownership, when you don't own it until you're 90, or 112? Ridiculous.

This is astonishingly evil. Donald Trump wants to end the American dream of home ownership. With a 50 year mortgage, most home buyers will never pay off their homes, will remain in debt to the banks and be forced to work for the rest of their lives.

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Wall Street wants to "privatize" Social Security so they can gamble with our money as they suck a fat profit margin in fees and commissions from your retirement savings. And we’ll end up with less money when we retire.

Happened in the UK with many public services and all saw massive increases in prices and lack of improvement

"You'll somehow pay less if the shit is run by people who demand a large profit margin" never made sense, and I don't understand why anyone ever believed it.

THIS!!! Privatization is NEVER the solution.

"Right to work" is a euphemism for "giving employers the right to abuse workers."

Privatization of vital public services is touted as the key to more efficient, better service. But it's just a scheme for greedy middlemen to skim a fat profit margin from an already-underbudgeted necessity. Result: Costs soar as quality of service plummets & capacity vanishes.

America has the highest health care costs of any developed nation. And the poorest life expectancy, by far. We are victims of the deadly for-profit healthcare and insurance industries who don't care if you suffer and die prematurely, as long as they make obscene profits.

"A shutdown falls on the president's lack of leadership. I mean, problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is weak." -Donald Trump, 2013

SmackDown- USA Raw - Netflix PLEs - ESPN SNME - Peacock Yearly cost - 958 Est. For years WWE fans have been hurt by multi billion dollar streaming networks making it hard to watch content. But YouTube and ESPN preventing you from watching football, oh now it’s a problem. Welcome to the party.

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

My friends Jen and Chris need to leave the country because of (sadly well-founded) fears for Chris's safety. They hope to celebrate their love with a Star Trek-themed wedding before they leave. gofund.me/2eb3e808b

Maybe if we move those signs slightly, every day. Eventually, we move them off the White House grounds and down the street, and finally to a back room at the trump hotel. As long as he's surrounded by sycophants, he won't know the difference.

6 November 1911 | A Dutch Jew, Herman Reindorp, was born in Amsterdam. A poulterer. In #Auschwitz from 18 July 1942. No. 53737 He perished in the camp, probably on 18 August 1942. --- Video about the history of Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/Fxnl5HTygrs

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

The way Zohran Mamdani looked at his wife last night and called her “hayati…” The Turkish word for the same sentiment is “canım,” a word my husband & I frequently exchange in our home. It made my heart soar…. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

A whole bunch of people younger than me got elected last night and I am totally good with that

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...
