Good and realistic piece by @clarajeffery.bsky.social Our most populous, most productive, most powerful, and most federal-tax-paying state can do more to throw its weight around. And stop a bully.

Republicans have a pattern of making it easy for criminals to get firearms and endangering law-abiding citizens. This problem only grows thanks to Donald Trump and his allegiance to the gun industry.

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia says the Trump admin is in "blatant violation of the law" for "misuse of taxpayer dollars for political purposes" over partisan shutdown messages on agency websites.   Garcia wants the Office of the Special Counsel to investigate.

Yesterday I said this abt Russ Vought's plan to retaliate against Dems (I said this before the cuts to New Jersey commuters and states that include 40% Trump voters). Vought's attempt to attack Dems will make his illegal power grabs visible just like DOGE. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/01/a...

Your occasional reminder that Russ Vought, who is claiming the right to fire civil servants for whatever reason he sees it, once refused to quit a political appointment position even after Trump had lost.

Taxpayers and charities helped develop the gene therapy Zolgensma. Then it debuted at a record price of $2M+ per dose, ushering in a new class of wildly expensive drugs. Its story upends the widely held conception that high prices reflect huge industry investments in innovation. (Published Feb.)

President Trump, folks. This is the shutdown he wanted, and he knows it. That’s why he ordered Republican leaders not to negotiate. It’s why he is lying about Democrats’ asks. And it’s why he doesn’t care that Americans’ health care costs are skyrocketing.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.

If this deeply degrading, wasteful and dangerous stunt proved anything, it’s that the best thing Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace. Immediately.

What would be particularly powerful right now is if all the former cabinet members in key departments, not just DOD but including HHS, DOJ,State, EPA, etc issued joint statements, condemning the current heads, saying nothing like this has ever happened.

why is everyone so silent??? 👇💯👏

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.
