In the America I want to live in, saying quiet, piggy, to anyone would end a politician's career. Just saying.

Talk about the promise of "Affordability" as a winning rejoinder to the Republicans nazi populism. There's certainly a metaphor in the 118% ridership increase.

"I keep listening for boots in the hallway, even though I don’t even remember if they were wearing boots. All I remember is Penny and the way she stood and went with them so silently."

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

NYT: “Epstein emails a distraction from the Republican shutdown victory” WSJ: “We estimate the Epstein files to be 67% Trump by weight”

Megyn Kelly should of course NOT be fed into a wood chipper feet first for the crime of advocating for child predators. That would be over the top. But I don't expect I'd ever place myself between Megyn and someone who DID think she deserved to be fed into a wood chipper. That's not my business.

The question is did a sitting president have a political liability assassinated while in federal custody. THAT IS THE QUESTION!!! And I think we all kinda know he did.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force. (Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!) Great obit—no paywall.

Precincts with the highest concentration of corporate ad spend saw a 4.2 % drop in turnout compared with precincts receiving predominantly progressive outreach, suggesting that fatigue translates into reduced participation—precisely the outcome desired by those seeking to blunt progressive momentum.

But eventually…when he dies, right!?! I mean it has to happen and when it does…we do get to celebrate right? I mean people have to grieve in all kinds of ways.

Time to tax the rich.....

Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

Reporter: Dr Oz said that— Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

@cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov An anecdotal w/ data. We’re 54&55, on AppleCare for & when she needed to get surgery, no one would even meet with us. Then we got kicked off Apple Care & had to pay $998 a month for a plan that did get her surgery done but will now be $3268 a month!!!

Only those in the middle are amazed when fascists facist! Those of us on the side of humanity for all, those who don't believe in some god given dominion for some to have more and be more than others. We've known this was happening all along.
