Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I will never use spicy auto-correct in my writing, because if I can't be arsed to write it myself, how can I ask you to read it? All the fuck-ups and typos are my own, and always will be.

The Diplomat has some sick burns peppered throughout that sneak up and surprise you. “…the President’s least intelligent son, a post for which there is constant and spirited competition” is one of my favourites, esp. as it can apply for reals

Mike Johnson is now pretending that it's Rep-Elect Grijalva who is not doing her job, when he's the one shirking his duties.

And even *he* knows this is bullshit. He corrects himself to call her "Rep-Elect" not "Rep" because he actually understands there's a very important difference.

Mike Johnson: "Rep. Grijalva can work -- Rep.-elect Grijalva can work for her constituents right now. Constituent services, answering the phones, she has computers and 16 employees and there's no excuse for it. The Epstein files are being released."

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.

It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.

Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

ICE agents abducting people off the streets. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents. Threats by Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

The tyranny is on full display — and it's waking America up.

When Trump says cattle ranchers "have to get their prices down," don't forget he also:

-Ended a USDA program to help states fight meatpacking monopolies
-Filled his admin with Big Ag insiders
-Revoked Biden's pro-competition executive order

Where's the beef?

Why are Trump-supporting oligarchs spending a fortune to defeat @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social?

Because they fear Mamdani's people-powered movement will end their plunder and finally make NYC affordable for the working class.

Zohran is charting a path forward where billionaires have less power.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Trump has pardoned billionaire crypto mogul and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao — who pled guilty to money laundering charges.

This comes after Zhao helped boost the Trump family’s crypto business.

It's just the latest example of Trump's Pay-to-Pardon Scheme.
