What I mean when I say I am praying for someone else is just that I have been telling God about the intense concern I have about them and the love, and letting that love feel connected to God and other people's love for them.

Here's my bud Dusty, being his goofy, intensely earnest & loving self.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

Here’s the other big problem: Treasury Secretary Bessent is sitting on a massive Epstein file containing thousands more bank documents that would help us continue to follow the money through his sex trafficking ring.

It’s laughable for JMPC to try to lay its whole Epstein relationship off on a former employee. The evidence indicates that the bank’s ties with Epstein, and the mistakes it made, went all the way to the top.

The American people deserve to know what JPMC’s role is here. Instead, Jamie Dimon blew off my questions, claiming that one employee was singlehandedly responsible for maintaining the bank’s ties to Epstein:

I want to know: with respect to Epstein’s crimes, what did JPMC execs know and when did they know it? If Dimon really knew nothing about Epstein, then how does he explain reported internal emails from his employees flagging Epstein’s activity for him?

In September, we got new explosive details about JP Morgan’s deep relationship with Epstein. The reports contained shocking details about how bank execs blew off internal warnings for years to keep Epstein on as a client, enabling his trafficking.

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

yeah, the thing is you don't even have to bring morals into it

it's just an obvious practical problem that society-warping amounts of power should not be concentrated at the whims of a single individual and the simplest and best way to solve that problem is to disallow anyone from having that power
warmh20penguin.bsky.social Seamus the Shank Engine @warmh20penguin.bsky.social · 12h
This.

I never much cared about the *moral* assertion that billionaires should not exist. It's true but never seemed like the most pressing moral failure to resolve.

The REAL reason billionaires shouldn't exist is entirely practical: they're an apocalyptic-level threat.
rincewind.run Micah @rincewind.run · 12h
billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Holy shit.

Game 7 between the Jays and the Mariners just ran an pro-free trade ad, targeted to American workers, decrying tariffs.

The twist being that, if you don't catch it beforehand, Ronald Reagan is revealed as the speaker in the closing seconds.

What PAC is this? The Province of Ontario.
Ronald Reagan narrates a new anti-tariff ad from Canada
The new commercial is part of a $75 million ad campaign by Ontario aimed at Republican voters.

Who among us hasn’t texted someone whose job it is to be responsible for news coverage of an issue and texted them things about said news and then afterwords said it’s off record but also that this person doesn’t do news.

Who among us???!!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

He doesn't know what the hell he's destroying, and even worse, he flat out doesn't give a shit about the history of what he destroys either. It's not shiny and gold, or about him, so he wants it gone.

Dictator Trump has started demolishing portions of the White House structure so he can build his personally designed ballroom. No Congressional approval. No historical review. Using taxpayer funds. He does what he wants when he wants how he wants. It’s what dictators do.

The East Wing, originally built in 1942 to protect the underground bunker from Nazi aerial bombings & attacks.

Nazis literally deleting a structure built to protect our executive branch from Nazis is peak 1984.

This is far from the most important thing happening in terms of governance -- it's not even close. But campaign politics requires messaging that cuts through to people with symbolism and this one is a gift. And to defeat authoritarianism before it's too late, you have to win elections.
