Remember how Texas sued Tylenol over autism claims?

Sounded crazy, huh? Drove Tylenol's stock price down.

Now Tylenol is being scooped up by Kimberly-Clark.

Would be curious to know if any members of the Administration bought up Tylenol stock ahead of this announcement. 🤔

Attended an Interfaith Vigil for the Vulnerable last night in suburban Philadelphia.

I think Jesus would approve.

I just read a news story about the growing discontent in "the Republican caucus" -- but I read it as "the Republican carcass."

I'm thinking that is actually way more accurate. Henceforth, I shall call the Republican caucus the Republican carcass.

There. Fixed it. 💀

"The Trump administration declined to draw on a contingency fund, saying the money was needed for potential emergencies such as natural disasters."

Let me get this straight. There's a reserve fund that could pay for SNAP.

But starving children don't qualify as an emergency.

How heartless.

Food stamps: US government says it will stop paying for food aid next week

Food stamps will not be distributed from November due to the ongoing shutdown, it said.

Passing through airport security, I said to the TSA agent examining my ID, “I’m sorry about the shutdown.”

Without looking up, he shrugged. “Been through it before.”

I responded, “Thank you for being here.”

At that point, he looked up and said to me, “Thank you. We appreciate the support.”

This a very powerful response.

If Jack is weaponizing illegally leaked documents as a candidate, just imagine what he would do as governor with New Jerseyans' personal data.

So many coverups.

Release the Epstein files.

Release the Homan tapes.

Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) on this moment. Not just the transcript but the video of a floor speech yesterday. A rallying cry:

Excellent job reclaiming a movement we should all be proud to uphold.

The Lincoln Project @lincolnproject.us · Sep 18

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

"One of the enduring mysteries about Epstein is why so many rich and powerful men risked their reputations by continuing to spend time with him after he was registered as a sex offender."

The answer will turn your stomach. Shame on JPMorgan.

Nazi Jagoff?! I need to know more.

“Jagoff” is a vernacular term from my childhood in Pittsburgh. Is there a yinzer transplant in the Windy City or does Chicago use that term, too?

Either way, I approve. 👏🏻

I like it.

Suggested edit: "We're sick of Republicans willfully murdering Americans -- both our constituents and theirs."

Go broad first (all Americans), then granular. Harder to tune out.

Here's a political message for Dems to use: "we're sick of Republicans willfully murdering our constituents and theirs."

@hcrichardson.bsky.social, you encourage us to imagine the country we want post-regime.

I'd love to see a voluntary service corps, open to any high school or college grad, that guarantees low-interest mortgage and down payment after 2 years of service. Service to country + home ownership = win/win.

Thank you, @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social, for calling out hero David Rose and his sacrifice. My heart breaks for his wife and children. His selfless service stands in direct contradiction to the callousness and contempt of our so-called leaders. Always appreciate you. Today more than ever.

Astoundingly, I just drove by this plant on Friday, en route to a countertop vendor. I was shocked at the dinosaur of a plant that I passed. Grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs, but it had been years since I had seen an operational plant that old. Thought they had all been shuttered or updated.

Typically rely on your reports of his press events. But today, I watched the full thing.

Something you've been saying for awhile -- he is decompensating -- on full display in a way I hadn't fully appreciated.

Just bonkers. Lie after lie. Fixated on brutality and filth. Obsessed with Biden & Dems.😩
