I for one welcome the AI bubble and bust. I neither want those guys to keep getting high off their own supply nor to think they can build robots who take our jobs or kill us in our sleep. The best nothingburger to ever be.

Today: some leaders are hidden in rooms arguing how to defend their crimes against children and conspiracies of global proportion, some are out visiting child care centers today to talk about families and the cost of living.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Passing paid leave would be a patriotic act—supporting the needs of millions of military families, caregivers, and veterans. From issues of deployment to disability to mental health and reintegration, we should provide real and comprehensive care for all service members and families.

How broken do you have to be inside to relish watching families violently ripped apart from each other or to fight quite this hard to deprive people of food.

Is it good politics to ask the Supreme Court if you can continue starving people?

Well over a million federal workers have gone without pay for over a month, more than half while still working. 42 million Americans stand to lose food aid. 24 million could see their health care premiums double.
This is more than cases or headlines or line items. These are people’s literal lives.

They’re going to amp up the rhetoric and lies about this shutdown as the air travel gets worse in particular. Be ready.
People need paychecks, food, health care, and safe travel. We need a Congress that shows up to work—this isn’t the paid leave we meant, Mike.

Long lines and canceled flights reported in Cleveland, even though it’s not on the FAA’s list of airports impacted by federal funding. It’s almost as if things impacting a community seemingly far away to people who may not look or have much to do with you can have a ripple effect and impact you too.

By refusing to end the shutdown, just in time for the holidays, Republicans are robbing people of paychecks, food, and health care, and completely disrupting air travel, not to mention terrorizing families and communities. It’s cruel and maybe they should have learned this week it’s not popular.

“Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, will turn to veterans of City Hall, nonprofit executives and a former chair of the Federal Trade Commission — all of them women — to lead his official transition effort.”

“Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, will turn to veterans of City Hall, nonprofit executives and a former chair of the Federal Trade Commission — all of them women — to lead his official transition effort.”
I’ve heard a few people make the comment, he might win but can he govern. I hear a dog whistle. All I know this morning is Mamdani is a phenomenal leader, he assembled a phenomenal team, he ran a phenomenal campaign and strategy, and we have a lot to learn from it and a lot to hope for thanks to it.
