The so-called "clean CR" is neither - it is a perpetuation of the disastrous Big F'd Up Bill the GOP shoved through a couple of months ago that does serious damage to the nation and everyone except a handful of rich donors and the politicians with their hands in the till.

No Kings rallies were on the calendar long before the GOP shut down the govt in order to continue handing out handfuls of cash to millionaires and billionaires and continuing their mass funding of Trump's private army of ICE goons while cutting Medicare / Medicaid and failing to fix ACA $.

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.

At the University of Illinois, rolling blackouts and brownouts are expected in 2026 due to increased energy demands from A.I. Scientific labs are expected to be affected.

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

August 2026. Massive heatwaves kill 1000s of Americans, mostly low-income and elderly, because as a society we decided it was more important to be able to create pervy deepfake videos of the girl next door than to power air conditioners.

A precondition for Republics to transition to autocracies is the politicization of the military. It is why the political & military leaders of the country have been so vigilant to keep partisanship away from it. But this admin is dismantling that concept. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...
