The whole damn system.

STOUGHTON MA STAND UP!!!

RIP Drum Eatenton. Hope you and Truvy are having a laugh up there together.

The price health insurance companies charge for employer-sponsored plans increased again this year, as did the deductible people must pay before those plans begin covering most healthcare costs, nonpartisan health organization KFF said in a new survey. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/22/r...

My reporting is Exhibit A again tonight.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Every Republican running for office in Ohio should be asked if they disavow the extremism of Vivek Ramaswamy

The world's richest man Elon Musk is funneling more than $7 million to try to reelect incumbent Ohio Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted, according to an analysis of federal election data by a group demanding regulation of AI companies ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/19/e...

Meet the Researchers Leaving the US Because of Trump’s Funding Cuts & Politicization of Science | More than half of American states [including Pennsylvania] have lost scientists to recruitment programs in other countries, according to a report from the Business for Federal Research Funding Coalition

On Saturday, US citizen Ricardo Gonzalez was reportedly hit by an unmarked federal vehicle, tased twice by ICE agents and then handcuffed while face down in the gutter screaming that his arm was broken. Read more from @brandonrichardson.bsky.social on the Watchdog. lbwatchdog.com/ice-assaulte...

Watch out: going out to eat at your favorite restaurant could become even more expensive. The Trump administration might approve a merger between Sysco and Restaurant Depot — threatening higher supply costs for small businesses and higher prices for you.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

Can we form a committee to remove Trump on this grounds, chaired by Lisa Cook?

Trump just waived all sanctions on Russia in the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act, just as I and others warned. Trump’s latest surrender to Putin again betrays our Ukrainian partners and defies clear congressional intent of legislation passed to punish Russia for its illegal war of aggression.

Remember when Howard Dean was considered too nuts to be president?

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Whether that is Clinton and Obama pandering to the deficit scolds or Dems cowering instead of standing up for lgbtq rights, if you give these assholes an opening they always take it and the media will never report objective reality that debunks their bullshit. YOU have to bring the fight.

An incredible episode early in Marco Rubio's career, that previewed exactly how he would come to operate in the following 24 years. Read our new profile: zeteo.com/p/secretary-...

"In February 2024, Blanche & his partner Emil Bove — now Judge Bove — insisted that 'a fair trial cannot be conducted this year.' And yet, 22 days before the midterms, with early voting already underway in MN, Blanche’s DOJ searched a candidate’s home over paperwork a dead man filed 3 decades ago."

A Trump administration official intervened against an insider trading investigation into suspiciously timed oil sales made just minutes before a critical announcement by President Donald Trump related to the Iran war this March, new reporting finds.

18 impeachable offenses a day

Oscar Belgal, 28, is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park without access to surgeons that could remove the bullet lodged in his neck, attorneys say.

The Defense Department first awarded the consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal a $67 million deal shortly after George Kollitides started at the Pentagon. Then came a bigger, no-bid contract for the firm: $281 million working with Kollitides’ office.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Brown University’s widget shows that the energy costs of the Iran war have just passed $1,000 per household iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

I guess we know what the “quo” is for the “quid” of Russia ostensibly supplying diesel to the U.S.

18 impeachable offenses a day

NEW: Early on Aug. 25, the Tohono O’odham Nation received a one-minute notice from Border Patrol. A convoy of contractors — guarded by masked agents — was en route to conduct testing for a coming border wall. The tribe was warned: Do not interfere.

Things got more insane just about as soon as I posted this last night. DHS is now arguing that we cannot even put the names of ICE officers in our lawsuit against those officers. Their position is that, if a defendant works for DHS, they cannot be named in a lawsuit. Never seen anything like it.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

The man can’t walk a straight line and his brain is a morass of AI slop, base impulses, and a random assortment of words he’s heard recently. But here we are.

NEW: Records show Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken nearly 1,000 trips during his tenure, costing $3.3 million in security. We could only connect 138 of those trips and $553,000 in security costs to state business. with @texastribune.org

Anthropic is the latest lab to report 'rogue' agent activity, which sources said included applying for visas with the State Department www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

What a strange story. California woman finds a man, allegedly drunk, sleeping on her lawn early in the morning & sends her dad out to move him. The man wakes up & allegedly assaults the (elderly) dad, who shoots him Turns out the man is off-duty ICE agent David Gonzalez abc7.com/story/off-du...

Watching the season premiere of Law & Order and it's all about prosecuting the CEO of an AI company for creating a murderous program. This is called "losing the center."

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.

“Prices would’ve DECLINED without the tariffs” 😕 The Trump Tax is real

Two #Dorchester real estate professionals have joined forces to launch a new development company focused on their own neighborhood — and their first project, a 12-unit, three-building complex on Norwell Street, is now nearing full occupancy. www.dotnews.com/2026/10/07/o...

BREAKING: ICE over the past year investigated hundreds of nonprofits across the U.S. that help people register to vote. The internal documents, obtained by the Democracy Forward, showed that ICE's investigative arm also contemplated sending undercover agents to investigate the organizations.

One of our main goals at The 51st is to make D.C. an easier place to live. One way to do that is by explaining stuff that is otherwise confusing, mystifying, or intentionally opaque! What do you want to know more about? What can we help you understand? Let us know:

Jackson: [excoriates Collins as a lifelong govt employee who has never been uninsured, always enjoyed a steady income, and can’t understand regular people’s lives and problems] Collins: “First of all, I spent A YEAR uninsured when I was running for Governor in [the 90s].” 😂

President Donald Trump wants to spend $1.5 trillion on defense next year. Adjusted for inflation, that would be more than the U.S. spent annually on defense during the height of World War II. (Published August)

The fact that the tree is as old as the United States should not be lost on anyone. What a metaphor.
