10M adults on ACA plans are self-employed or small business owners and employees. A restaurant owner in Virginia could see his monthly premium double, shooting up to $1400 a month. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities – and Republicans are shafting them. Hello?

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Frogs, not kings.

Frogs, not king.

Good morning Freedom Fighters it’s the eve of the epic NO Kings 2.0 are you ready to have some good trouble?

Leave your Palestinian flags at home on Saturday. Leave ALL your personal policy demands at home. Saturday is about one thing only: Defending democracy & the rule of law. No fucking kings in America. That’s it. That’s our ONLY message. My #NoKings rant.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Bwahahaha

A reminder to all my fellow Beavers down because of football, that OSU is far more than just an athletic team. Congratulations to all involved on the 29th consecutive year of growth. The only R1 school in the country with such a record of sustained growth. news.oregonstate.edu/news/oregon-...

Singing Matters!!!

“We’ve known for months that he’s been sick, but the words radiation and treatment hit differently. They landed in a place I didn’t expect. Because it feels like more than just one man enduring. It feels like a reflection of all of us.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

And O, what transport of delight.

The Trump Admin is so strange. While releasing completely unsupported guidance on not using Tylenol because it supposedly causes autism, they also appear to be making a real and honest investment in autism research. www.chronicle.com/article/what...

Did anyone else see this today and wonder wtf happened? Oopsie, Stephen.

CBS has fallen, and is now oligarchy news. Look elsewhere for info.

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Is posting this cartoon on your own social media enough to get you fired from your job? Is this enough to get you fired from a tenured professorial position at Clemson University?

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

McCabe: "When Trump started having his first interactions w/ Comey, we were almost naive in thinking, 'Is this president actually trying to influence our investigative decision making?' We didn't want to believe it ... fast forward to today. Those requests are happening on social media."

The Oregon governor needs to make clear they will prosecute all illegal activity performed by the federal government

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

@tinakotek.bsky.social Defend your state.

Well, that was painful.

OSU Army ROTC putting in the practice, getting ready to present the Colors.

OSUMB first home show tonight! Can’t wait to see the kids match out in pregame!

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment "My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

do not fear these people // i will see you motherfuckers in court are dual messages we really need to hear from more of the elites who have been targeted by this admin

Meanwhile, back in science.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Newsom: "People ask, 'Are you being hyperbolic?' Bullshit we're being hyperbolic. If you're Black or brown, it's here in this country. And so I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address masking ... these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian govt"

Breaking: LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jimmy Kimmel's return monologue watched by nearly 6.3 million viewers on broadcast TV, despite blackouts in many cities.

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $70 million to the UNCF, the largest private provider of scholarships to minority students.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: “I’ll be signing a bill, the first in the nation, saying enough. To ICE, unmask, what are you afraid of? You going to go out and you’re going to do enforcement, provide an ID, tell us what agency you represent.”

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Dylan Byers on the Grill Room podcast nailed this completely. This was basically his entire prediction on what would happen. With a listen if you are interested in the business of media. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

It never occurs to me to deal with problems by shooting them, because I wasn't raised in a household with access and training to firearms and a narrative that political violence was a traditional solution in the grand American historical sweep. Simply put my parents were clear we don't shoot folks.

Justice Sotomayor becoming an outspoken supporter of freedom and democracy is a remarkable development, although I can't help but think that folks better be ready to defend her.

@chronicle.com article on how Turning Point USA terrorized professors. I wish that this article could be more publicly available, and not just available to other colleagues in higher ed. www.chronicle.com/article/char...

Maurene Comey, the lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffery Epstein saga, is now suing Pam Bondi, the DOJ and the Office of the President for her unlawful firing. Maurene has all the receipts.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

LOL, I have never seen a viral issue disappear so quickly from Facebook.

Shitler commanding us to pray for a MAGAT mouthpiece & weeks ago people were shot & 2 children murdered at church, in April, democratic Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hartman & husband were assassinated & Gov. Josh Shapiro & family attacked by an arsonist setting fire to their home, crickets from trump!

Here's an idea, maybe it's the guns? www.rawstory.com/school-shoot...
