Received devastating news yesterday.
Because the ACA increases are affecting the person who keeps me alive, I'll be unable to pay for literally anything but the bare bones bills, not including food, med supplies etc, soon.
Even $1 matters. Thanks.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.
The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Grateful to everyone who shared their thoughts with me about what Chicago's resistance means to them in this moment. I wish I could've included quotes from all of you, but the piece was very long and unwieldy, and I was persuaded to edit it down a bit. (It's still long lol.) It will be out tomorrow.

"When you're a star, they let you do it." 🤞
Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a black hole. The cosmic outburst likely happened because a large star wandered too close to the black hole and got shredded to pieces.

People forgot what happened in the first term. A big reason why is that nearly all media outlets started paywalling their articles in 2021. Trump's Twitter account was also deleted in 2021, and scores of digital media outlets went under from 2021-2024 -- erasing recent history in the process.

They also believed he was innocent of crimes because the DOJ never prosecuted him in a meaningful way, including for sedition. In early 2021, most Americans DID think he was guilty. That changed over three years thanks to DOJ inaction. They thought "If he were really a threat, they would stop him."

A lot of you talk about Schumer like he's a hapless fool, but he's not. He's a Harvard gangster overseeing mass atrocities while running out the legislative clock and maximizing shareholder value without being held accountable by the public. Charles is a master of his craft.
