Eat your heart out!!

Had a curry lunch, with my other half, in Concord, NH today. Next to our table, a group of legislators and their guests. (!!!) They had returned from a difficult morning session. Of course, I willfully overheard some discussion. I was truly intrigued when…

Confederate states lead in poverty and lack of upward mobility prove Conservatives do one thing great...engineer poverty. This should be no surprise. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Administration officials pile lie upon lie upon lie. When a president and his aides are doing that, it’s no longer America. When masked government thugs take potshots at a priest, it’s no longer America. State-sponsored mayhem starts at the top. trib.al/kEhMBeh

Chicago

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million. Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals. Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

This guy thinks he's George Patton but in reality he's Dolores Umbridge.

America 🇺🇸The Mayor of Chicago is calling out the Trump administration on their corruptions! They’re using tax payers money to fatten the wallets of his friends by privatizing the immigration prisons!! The cruelty to immigrants was always about racism and the money😡 #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

⚡️Merz calls on EU to use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine defense loan. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called on the EU to use frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a loan worth $160 billion (140 billion euros), securing Kyiv's defense capabilities for years to come.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

Mercedes-Benz plans to relocate part of its vehicle production from Berlin to Poland in response to growing competition from China and high operating costs in Germany.

A federal judge late Friday ruled that the Trump administration’s mass firing of probationary employees earlier this year was illegal, a victory for the labor unions and nonprofit groups that had sued the government over the terminations.

COVID keeps mutating. Measles is roaring back. One scientist refuses to quit: Dr. Peter Hotez.🔥👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Not funny, scary.

The new wave of millennial candidates - James Talarico, Graham Platner, Zohran Mamdani, Zach Wahls, Mallory McMorrow, and more - are going to redefine the Democratic Party in their collective image: values-driven, voters-first, unafraid to tear down the systems that no longer serve us, & with joy.

An image of the letter bearing Trump’s signature, which has been turned over to Congress by the Epstein estate. Lawyers for Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the birthday book put together for the financier’s 50th birthday, which includes a letter with President Trump’s signature

First Bernie Sanders. Then the CDC directors. Now, more than 1,000 current and former HHS staffers are demanding he step down.

There is a group advocating for machine guns to be legal! Machine guns are not for normal game hunting. Those people might want to make trophies, use the pelts or food from their prey. Machine guns are weapons of war. How many can they kill and how fast. In war that's it Not ranching!

RFK Jr must be fired. He’s too deranged and full of himself to leave voluntarily. So it’s vital to convince Trump that keeping Kennedy around drains his own political power and thus his personal wealth by so visibly endangering the health of everyone in the U.S. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Republicans want us to forget Trump’s Epstein cover-up. We won’t. We’re demanding ALL the Epstein files be released—and putting billboards in GOP districts to keep the pressure on. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/d...

As our neighbors vanish daily, this serves as a meaningful way to honor them and highlight the extent of this issue throughout the city’s

DC residents should not be ordering delivery right now. Period.

JUST IN: Judge rules State Department can't use Trump's 2nd-term travel ban to deny visas. But feds can still stop covered foreigners, either at border or from getting on flights. Still, advocates see an upside, especially if ban changes or ends www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

The CEOs of the country's lowest-paying large companies made $17.2 million on average last year. Their workers made $35,570.

Thank you to the #EchoPark Historical Society & The Echo for Natalia Molina & @raquefella.bsky.social's discussion about Echo Park's Nayarit restaurant & the importance of capturing the stories of "the underdocumented" (to use Molina's term). Also, more book talks in bars please! #BookSky

As the unhoused are targeted, they rise. We need to stand up with them. They are being kicked while down. The papers say they have a choice. The feds say the choice is jail or shelter. The shelter takes their belongings and most shelters are at capacity. It is no choice.
