Iâve had numerous dreams that I left stuff at my old house and went in to get it when the new owners werenât home. Very realistic and odd.

Out for a stroll on another incredible Chicago day. This is âmeet me on Milwaukee,â a car free event in the Wicker Park neighborhood. Happy people & happy dogs everywhere. Remember this when Trump tries to paint an ugly picture of our beautiful city. #chicago
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Great point!!

WTF??!!! Document obtained by Washington Post envisions a U.S.-led trusteeship over Gaza, w/financial incentives for temporary relocation, AI-powered smart cities, & luxury resorts, transferring control of Gaza from Israel to the U.S. 'once Hamas is disarmed' www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

WTH: A postwar plan for Gaza within the Trump admin modeled on vow to âtake overâ the enclave, turn it into a trusteeship by the US for at least 10 years while it is transformed into a gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
That photo and what happened in that room- gives me nightmares.
Message for Labor Day... Yes he des want you to be a slave!
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Lori Chavez DeRemer: "Consumer confidence is up." (Consumer confidence is actually way down since Trump's second inauguration.)
Ports across the country were planning to become economic hubs for the growing offshore wind industry. The Trump administration is cancelling grants to build the infrastructure for it.
Increasing political pressure on the Fed by half as much as Nixon did, for six months, raises the price level more than 8%. www.nber.org/papers/w32461
Trump's goals for the Fed are 'very dangerous,' warns Fmr. Fed Chair & Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen. The financial system is âlike the plumbing in your house,â says Yellen. âYou donât think about it most of the time. Itâs important that it works,â but you're very âaware of it when itâs brokenâ #Velshi
âWhat independence means is that the technocrats at the Central Bank use economic reasoning, dataâ to achieve economic goals, says Fmr. Fed Chair & Treasury Sec. Janet YellenâŹ. âAmericans need to worryâ about political interference. Itâs âa recipe for runaway inflation.â #Velshi
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?

True except a lot of women with degrees, good careers and options end up as unpaid caregivers for years with no health insurance. Ask around.

âA respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.â This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

"The American Slavery 2.0 project is a brilliant conceit precisely because it dovetails so many MAGA governing principles into a single, big and beautiful policy." â @schaller67.bsky.social
DOGE wasnât a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.

A Tarrant County resident who has worked as an election judge criticized the countyâs move to cut more than 100 polling sites. âYouâre not saving money,â she said. âYouâre sacrificing democracy to save a buck.â With @fortworthreport.bsky.social @texastribune.org
Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether itâs no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.
Identity theft. Itâs called identity theft. I hope Taylor uses some of that billionaire money to sue Meta into oblivion.
Iowa State Senator Zach Wahls, who hopes to fill the Senate seat being vacated by Joni Ernst, talks with Jen Psaki about the top two issues he hears about on the campaign trail: the economy, and political corruption. @zachwahls.bsky.social
The experts are being forced out of the federal government, leaving Trumpâs kooks, crooks and hacks to ruin our country.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "The Trump administration has not contacted me at all whatsoever. Nobody in my administration. They're just looking to invade the city of Chicago, not coordinate with law enforcement ⊠not coordinating with the state of Illinois, the Governor or the Mayor of the city."
Most Trump tariffs are not legal, US appeals court rules www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
President Donald Trump is attempting to single-handedly block nearly $5 billion in foreign aid that Congress has already approved. He is doing it by invoking a little-known power play called a pocket rescission, effectively cutting lawmakers out of the process.
The Republican Party simply does not believe in representative democracy anymore. Itâs turned its back on a bedrock principle of our country in favor of grabbing power by theft.

O'Neill is a "longevity guy" and is buddies with Bryan Johnson and... "He has also supported the libertarian idea of creating new geographic zones, possibly at sea, in which residents can live by their own rules (including, notably, permissive regulatory regimes for new drugs and therapies). "
Every Republican senator voted to confirm RFK Jr. as health secretary except for Mitch McConnell, who is retiring and thus was under no re-election pressure. The entire Republican Party has embraced anti-vax policies. It is pro-polio, pro-measles, pro-Covid. It's a death cult.
Cassidy should go ahead and let Rfk be his doctor-advisor & make all the medical diagnoses and treatment decisions for Cassidy and his entire family.

Hope you mentioned she was a privileged cray-cray.
The Florida government has signed contracts with at least $245 million of taxpayers' money for this this short-lived un-American photo-op cruelty.
We're witnessing the creation of the second Confederacy, and this time the president is on their side.
Seems like the kind of thing federal agents could handle if they werenât busy tracking down Americaâs most wanted DoorDash delivery drivers in DC.
Of all the many many ways I imagined Trump would ruin this country, I have to admit âsealing us off from outside mailâ wasnât in the mix.
Mike Luckovich nails it. These cabinet meetings are a grotesque display of fawning over a narcissist and shows how pathetic he expects his toadies to be.
The Republican Party is filled to the brim with deviant, malformed sex pests & predators. People really ought to talk about it more.
Drumpf will be jealous: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Mike Johnson's district has about 12 rural hospitals in it and 40% of his constituents are on Medicaid. It's just craziness. đĄ
Maybe melania can start a home healthcare org filled with volunteers. Haha. Just kidding. She doesnât give a shite.
Rural hospitals are preparing to lose billions of dollars from Trumpâs signature tax and spending cut bill. Dozens, already on the brink, have warned they face the prospect of closure or reduced services because of the billâs cuts to Medicaid. apnews.com/article/rura...
I guess for no reason at all, I'm reposting a piece I wrote two years ago, entitled "Republicans don't give a fuck about children."
BREAKING: Denmark summons top U.S. diplomat after the national broadcaster reported that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland.
One important point is that it would cost about a third as much to house and feed every homeless person in DC as it is costing to keep the National Guard there, but of course that would be radical craziness.
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
