House holds pro forma sessions every few days. Even today. It’s on their schedule! The purpose: meet Article I, Sec. 5 “three-day rule.” No gaps of more than 3 days are permitted without Senate OK. Two Florida Republicans were sworn in during pro forma earlier this year. So why not Adelita Grijalva?

Wait, they're only making insulin glargine? That's a once a day long term insulin. What about fast acting insulins? They're not making any? I think a lot of people would need both.

I don't know what the pricing is like for fast acting ones, or if this is sorted out some other way?

People are using GoFundMe for groceries.

GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.

Americans are fundraising for basic necessities, while the top 1% increased their wealth to $52 trillion.

This is what a rigged system designed by the wealthy looks like.

I cannot imagine a city councillor being as connected to community, as engaged, as responsive as Rajah Maggay. I wish you luck, Nakota Isga, you could have had a real one.

Edmonton Elections vote count showing Rajah losing the ward by 400 votes. Selfies from the campaign - I'm the guy in the mask - and at Rajah's campaign launch with my "Ask me about Rajah" sticker

I do mean that - people in every ward and every riding deserve a good representative. We also have to continue to support and step up for - not just encourage - more women, people of colour and folks from minoritized and vulnerablized communities to run. That's how we push real changes forward.

No wonder the fossil fuel oligarchs want more warming. ⅓ of the US economy's growth is now devoted to global warming/disaster mitigation. I guess making the other ⅓ AI waste heat farms just helps that growth along.

"Disaster Recovery Is Big Business."
www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Waste-heat generating Claude:
"This chart shows the dramatic rise of climate-related disaster spending in the US economy from 2001 to 2025.
The left panel reveals that while total spending has grown from near zero to approximately $15 trillion, climate-related spending (green) has expanded from a negligible share to roughly $4-5 trillion, representing a significant portion of the total.
The right panel is particularly striking: climate spending as a percentage of GDP growth has surged from essentially 0% to over 35% by 2025. This means that more than one-third of economic growth is now being consumed by climate disaster-related expenditures.
The trend accelerates sharply after 2020, with climate spending's share of GDP growth jumping from around 10% to 35% in just five years. This suggests climate disasters are increasingly acting as a drag on productive economic growth, forcing more resources into recovery, adaptation, and disaster response rather than expanding prosperity."
