The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Something that I think about almost often... The Trump Administration and the "pro-life" GOP killed thousands of children around the world. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Meta projected that 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods — that's $16 BILLION. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

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

As rain and thunderstorms pelt the East Coast on Thursday, air traffic controllers continue to call out of work in greater numbers after missing their first full paycheck, causing further delays.

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

The fact that most of the people utilizing the social safety net (ie Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, etc) work full time just proves that corporations have been using gov subsidies to profit multiple ways. They get corporate welfare + pay their workers so little the gov pays to keep them alive. #WarOnThePoor

My feelings, exactly.

It has happened! 200 days of 100% WindWaterSolar on CA's main grid in 2025 Including a record battery output of 47.69 GWh on 10/17 Gas down 18.5% v '24 & 37.2% v '23 PV up 14.6% v '24 & 43.5% v '23 Batteries up 56.8% v '24 & 202.7% v '23 Demand down 2.1% v '24 & 1.3% v '23

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points. But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Picture perfect California weekend 195th & 196th days in 2025 with >100% WindWaterSolar for part of day WWS peaked at 135% of demand both days Gas down 19% v '24 & 37% v '23 Batteries up 57% v '24 & 205% v '23 Solar up 15% v '24 & 44% v '23 WWS 54.6% of demand v 46.7% in '23

This is important information.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Judge Goodstein issued a TRO on September 3 blocking the State of South Carolina from handing over its full voter registration database. I'm sure that's coincidence, though.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Wild how the government shutdown isn't even front-page news right now.

Every question any reporter asks about the government shutdown should include, “Is it true the government is shutdown so Congress can’t vote on the release of the #EpsteinFiles?”

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

79. American citizen.

As this @grist.org article explains, wildfire smoke is deadly. This is why local-level policy mitigating the impacts of wildfire smoke is essential! Cities like San Francisco are working to update building ventilation and air quality alerts to protect residents. 💪 #cities grist.org/health/wildf...

This brilliant video by singer Chris Cron deserves its own applause (he’s on Instagram), but it also reminds us how astonishingly good Queen were as songwriters and musicians. The melody, harmony, and lyrical flair are all elite — and this isn’t even one of their Top 5 most downloaded songs!

“The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.”
