Thanksgiving Day I read a report that Gaza hospitals were still desperately still in need of such basics as gauze, antibiotics, etc. Here’s why and we must not forget the people. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ukraine is rejecting Trump’s plan right now at the UN Security Council. ⬇️

@menendez.house.gov No attention is being paid to increase Medicare supplemental rate increases. My old plan is ending & a similar plan is much higher. And what about automatic Medicare cuts do to increase to the deficit after the Big Beautiful Bill was passed? 2026 doesn’t look good for seniors!

@booker.senate.gov No attention is being paid to increase Medicare supplemental rate increases. My old plan is ending & a similar plan is much higher. And what about automatic Medicare cuts do to increase to the deficit after the One Big Beautiful Bill was passed? 2026 doesn’t look good for seniors!

I got Medicare supplemental insurance sticker shock today. My 2025 Aetna plan is being cancelled and the similar 2026 is over 4X as expensive. This has nothing directly with ACA premiums, but is some indirect effect. Probably less ACA policies means companies need more revenue off elders backs.

I live in Jersey City Heights which is a low-middle class neighborhood. My local grocery store is hurting from Trump withholding SNAP benefits. This is a privately owned store & not a major corporation chain that could be offering major 50+% discounts to SNAP recipients.

Trump was played by Putin again! By backpedaling on giving Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine the Hungary summit of Putin & Trump is off. Hard to tell if Trump backpedaled or if he caved to Putin. Now Trump’s addled mind is focused on getting $250M of our taxpayer money for his crimes & S. American wars.

Republicans cannot save face by restoring ACA tax credits because A. destroying ACA is their goal, B. restoring ACA would blow up the deficit unless C. the 2017 tax breaks were repealed. D. All of those three points shows that the One Big Beautiful Bill was a shell game to ripe off common folk.

Here’s where the democrats demand to restore healthcare funding & republican refusal to negotiate really buttheads, republicans, who always wanted those cuts, lowered the deficit impact of the BBB with those cuts. How to restore $1T in spending & not increase the deficit? Tax the top earners!

This isn’t getting the attention it deserves with a government shutdown looming. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you’re support of a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk is not a healing gesture. It shows how weak Democratic Party morals are. This is why the party’s approval ratings are so low. I doubt you & Schumer have the passion to convince America Trump shutdown the government.

Kimmel’s statement right after Kirk’s murder. Totally ignored while censoring him.

Kimmel saying Charlie Kirk’s name started this whole new round of government and corporate censorship. It was as if Kimmel had shot Archduke Ferdinand and unleashed Germany’s Schlieffen Plan for European conquest. Trump’s administration was always Project 2025 anti free speech.

This is going to get out of hand fast. It will be used on real criminal activities first & move on to journalists & then deserters. Reminiscent of J. Edgar Hoovers files. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

World leaders can object to Netanyahu’s Gaza City offensive & shout about Israel’s plan to build an “illegal” settlement to divide the West Bank into two parts thus killing a 2-state solution. Their outrage means nothing to Israel & won’t until major economies cut off all trade with it.

While Ukrainian soldiers fought for their country & Putin plotted its downfall President Trump played golf on Saturday. In the 210 days of his 2nd term nearly 25% has been spent golfing. I hope he was pleased to not see homeless people on his drive to his golf course.

I did not wake up this morning expecting headlines that Trump signed major sanctions against Russia for not agreeing to a ceasefire with Ukraine. I wasn’t surprised that our Manchurian Candidate President agreed to Putin’s demands. I did not expect Ukraine’s European allies to be so utterly silent.

@booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov @menendez.house.gov Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Quraiqa, 2 Palestinian journalists were murdered today by the IDF. Ana’s posted this right before her death.

Heartbreaking: Palestinian journalists Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Quraiqa were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the tent of Al Jazeera correspondents near Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. May God have mercy on them and grant them paradise.

The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Three notes: a Witkoff only met with Israeli officials. He didn’t meet with any NGOs like WCK. b. He did meet the Israeli\USA GHF which is a fraud at distributing aid. c. Regardless of security he didn’t visit 1 hospital. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The other day I wrote how there a domino effect between one agency’s new policy & immediately another agency has a report saying the other agency is correct. This article shows how the EPA’s climate change is immediately backed up by a Department of Energy report. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It is time my congressional delegates say the word Genocide. The political state of Israel is deliberately starving Palestinians for its own aims. Where is Israel actually doing to alleviate its famine in Gaza? Nothing! Say the word! GENOCIDE! @booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov @menendez.house.gov

Today at immigration court, this young man was arrested after the federal judge granted a continuance until 2027! ICE agents violently dragged him out of court. They are defying federal judges. NOBODY can help. Listen till the end. Horrifying. It's torture

Is France, the UK, or any other country recognizing Palestine as an independent nation going to make any difference when Israel is determined to own every inch or land that could be a Palestinian state? Are any of those counties willing to do anything to secure that state?

Monday Trump told Netanyahu to open the floodgates of aid in to Gaza. Today, no difference from yesterday. Why? Because Netanyahu wants Gaza as he does the West Bank. Staying in power is being hard right wing. You or me calling out deliberate starvation makes us antisemitic? Bibi is still a criminal

Israel is going to allow airdrops of aid in to Gaza. Remember how disastrous this was last year? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/w...

@booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov @menendez.house.gov It is a disgrace that our country is facilitating the starvation of two million civilians and the death of innocent children. Our support of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is a waste. We should be supporting the UN & established NGOs

“A six-week-old infant was among 15 people who have died of starvation in Gaza in the past 24 hours…” This is not getting enough attention & we are complicit because we back this ineffective inhumane Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Thank you @olbermann.bsky.social for telling me in your podcast that the Epstein file wasn’t just a binder of paper, or a file cabinet, that it is a whole van of hard drives, DVDs, photos, & probably celebrity signed panties. The *file* is so big it would’ve crushed Bondi’s desk.

Here’s a report on how the destruction of USAID is causing harm & death by cutting malaria prevention. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Proof that networks do not fire popular show hosts due to a host’s criticism is John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight. He has lambasted HBO\MAX constantly. Late Night with Stephen Colbert was #1 late night show. It was an ad revenue $$ maker. This move was to assure Skydance merger with Trump’s approval.

@booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov @menendez.house.gov please use your constitutional duty to introduce a bill to remove tariffs on all foods both fresh & canned, apples to zucchini, cheese to wine. The common American should not suffer more at the grocery store because of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

@booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov For the good of America save PBS & NPR.

How more gilded nonsensical gewgaws is Trump going to add to the Oval Office? He’s even started to gild moulding details. He’s making the room a laughable joke.

Jonathan Capehart said on this evening’s PBS Newshour, why are we not talking about Trump’s mental acuity. Yes, why aren’t we talking about his mental acuity? If Biden went off the rails like Donnie today his mental acuity would be tonight’s top story.

This is not getting the coverage it deserves. The crimes against humanity are mounting daily. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Rand Paul & Thom Tillis are 2 GOP fiscal hawks who aren’t asking the right question about this bill & the deficit, if you repealed the 2017 tax breaks for the wealthiest people & companies, even slightly lowered the rate, how much would this bill not add to the deficit?

When people sit down to share a plate of food, they share more than nourishment, they share humanity and hope. This is a start. But it’s not enough until humanitarian aid can surge into Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (2/2)

With hot meals & fresh bread, WCK is serving 100k+ meals a day in Gaza. We finally have ingredients to cook mujaddara—a comforting dish of lentils, rice & onions with deep roots in Palestinian cuisine. The meal evokes memories of home for the families we serve and our cooks. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

@ericswalwell.bsky.social you should read some of the comments about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social cause your losing being an uninformed idiot. The future for NYC isn’t an indicted felon nor a disgraced former governor. He’s a bright articulate 33-year old man with a vision.

Happy Pride to all my sisters, brothers & allies. 🌈

@ericswalwell.bsky.social Eric, it’s time for you to call @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and not jump on the false narrative that he’s antisemitic. You two have much more in common then not. Get onboard with what NYC needs. It’s not Cuomo or Adams.

Not getting any real notice is that the FBI has recalled former cyber security agents from kidnapping immigrants because of the threat of Iranian cyber attacks. Meaning we have weakened defenses because of Stephen Miller’s quota of 3,000 immigrants a day.

What I’m seeing in our media is the type of one sided reporting @owenjones.bsky.social has been talking about. Not reported on is Israel’s hour long attack on Tehran. (The Guardian) 2-dozen dead Israelis & no mention of the few hundred dead Iranians. Israel started this & they can end it.

@nytimes.com it’s sad that reading your report that Iran struck Israel this morning & not that Israel’s had bombed Tehran for one solid hour in the night. That reporting in The Guardian. USA media likes to tell us about the 2 dozen Israeli casualties, but not the 200+ Iranian killed.

This article drives me mad. Indictations of human rights abuse, imminent famine & other useless terms to put off any real action. Did god really give us dominion over this earth to so royally screw it up? www.theguardian.com/law/2025/jun...

Yesterday was Taco Tuesday & Taco Don did not disappoint. From Friday’s directions to ICE to layoff raids to hotels, restaurants, meat packing plants & farms because losing those workers was hurting those industries, but they are all back on the chopping block now.
