Really grateful to have preordered this book and have it to read while I recover from my surgery yesterday. I’m also grateful for my wife, the doctors and nurses, my pups, and everyone checking in, - life is grand (just don’t ask me to pick anything up for a bit)! @jeffpearlman.bsky.social

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal.

Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators.

Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

You know what feels horrible? American healthcare. Just got a call the day before my procedure tomorrow, and learned I'll be $4K in debt. I am fully insured, working for a large company... and I'm still taking $4K in debt.

Jeff Bezos has been catching heat for his assault on the First Amendment and his craven support of the Trump administration. But here's another reason he should be on the hot seat: powering ICE's immigration disappearance machine.

Max's Dads Shirts

These two shirts were given to me by my good friend and former 13 Stories bandmate, Max. These shirts belonged to his father, and didn't fit him anymore due to going through radiation treatment for cancer. I have had these shirts for over 25 years.

As you see the Ellisons’ use the husk of Paramount/CBS to hand out fiefdoms to conservatives, remember: This summer Paramount bribed Trump $16m at the cost of 60 Minutes’ integrity. FCC approval of the Ellisons’ takeover bid followed within a few days. Brendan Carr made this statement at the time.
