While federal employees fear for their jobs and millions of Americans face drastic increases in what they will pay for medical insurance, Politico reports that Republican Senate Leaders are living the high life. Good to know Republican leaders are well-nourished. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Given the number of Trump's quotes, "truths", tweets, speeches, and all around crazy-ass comments that the Republicans somehow never see, it's amazing they even know how to take orders from him or run Congress. Someone should get these guys a phone or TV so they can keep up the current events.

Quite a year. First we phase out democracy, now New York. Oh well, New York. It was nice to know you.

Wondering what RFKJr may be planning to do next to damage the nation's health and discourage not just vaccine acceptance but vaccine production? It is truly nefarious, and could make some vaccines unavailable in the US. Read @celinegounder.com at @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy tinyurl.com/4r2as28c

Even after suffering life-threatening symptoms of heat illness, agricultural employers in Florida will not let workers pause to rest on hot workdays, and threaten to send them home without pay if they complain even, though Fl farmworkers often exceed safe heat thresholds. 1/3 wapo.st/485Fl7q

Trump wants to make sure federal employees know who to blame for the coming government shutdown. Back in the day, such partisan messages for career employees would have been forbidden. But these are Trump times.

Message to workers and employers: If the government shuts down tonight, #OSHA will still respond to imminent danger situations, workplace fatalities and catastrophes, worker safety and health complaints and referrals. Employers still need to comply with the law. jordanbarab.com/confinedspac...

This, from the guy who shepherded through a recission package that betrayed the previous bipartisan Appropriations process. And now Thune says "trust us?" Doesn't even pass the laugh test www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Yeah, rescue coal while killing coal miners. Trump's Mine Safety and Health Administration is still refusing to enforce it's new silica standard to protect minors from black lung. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/c...

Pretty sure it Qatar give Trump a solid gold bike, he'll change his mind.

Hmm. Seems that Hunter Biden has become an inspiring model for Republican nepobabies. Who would have thought. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

Netanyahu: “Many of those who wage war on Israel today will be gone tomorrow." Maybe. But many of those who will wage war on Israel tomorrow are being created by Israel today. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The justices are basically accomplices to murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Because past editions warned of inconvenient threats like climate change challenges, new immigration patterns and the risk of a pandemic. Better to ignore that kind of stuff and hope it all goes away, right? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

The layoffs will continue until efficiency improves. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I honestly don’t care about James Comey. But I want to live in a democratic republic. His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

Well that's gratitude for you! Without James Comey, Donald Trump would just be another failed New York real estate developer (instead of a failed President.) www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Now that Lindsey Halligan has indicted James Comey, I wonder if she could take a look at my insurance policy. I've got some problems and I hear she's qualified. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

What would a similarly inappropriate image be if Democrats were to do the same thing to Trump? I have one suggestion. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Don't tell me. I can guess. He was a undocumented Latino transgender Democrat. Am I close? wapo.st/4nKTIm7

Okay, on one condition: As long as we also put Woody Guthrie on a coin and make "This Land is Your Land" the National Anthem. share.google/Gp3lVC1RQDXG...

Inhaling smoke from fighting fires can cause cancer and other deadly diseases. But until a series of New York's Times articles by @hannahdreier.bsky.social, the US Forest Service did not allow wildland firefighters to wear respirators. Even now, they aren't required. jordanbarab.com/confinedspac...

All this autism/Tylenol stuff raises an important question. What if you're pregnant and have heel spurs?
