"Why are billionaires spending so much money? Every single one of them says they can't raise wages or pay taxes, yet a majority buy themselves a treat, like a yacht or a space shuttle, at least once a week."

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

Anyone voting on Prop 50 in CA and having a hard time getting to yes because you don't like partisan gerrymandering? Me too.
Let me make a personal plea to vote yes from deep in the heart of Texas.

I have been anti gerrymandering and trying to stop it- professionally- for 20 years.

I played the good guy game for a long time. And it's time we stopped showing up to a knife fight with a book report.
The only way we fix ALL OF THIS is get enough votes to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Restoration Act which BANS partisan gerrymandering nationwide. There's no other path to that.

You know what we donate to the local food pantries? We donate MONEY. Because they can turn that money into what those they serve need the most. I do not know what those folks need better than the food pantry does. So I give them my dollars and they turn them into something useful.

Sweet Jesus, do not donate seeds to your food bank in October. Honestly, don’t donate seeds to your food bank unless you are specifically asked to, and even then I would think REALLY HARD about whether that’s regionally appropriate.

When I needed food donations, I was in student housing.

"...a male correspondent was initially included on the layoff list but was removed after he appealed directly to the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, leading to another female correspondent being added to the list at the last minute."

CBS News fired 8 on-air personalities in latest layoffs. All of them are women

EXCLUSIVE: Multiple sources told The Independent that senior foreign correspondent Debora Patta was added to the layoff list following a last-minute change by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

The piece they seem to be missing is that a lot of people are going to just drop coverage. Which has ripple effects on people who maintain coverage (even through employers) and the hospital systems. And it's going to hit rural states the hardest

“I think most people are going to say, OK, I had a great deal during COVID,” said Club For Growth President David McIntosh. “But now it’s back to business as usual, and I should be paying for health care.”

"Can Donald Trump run for a 3rd term?"
No.
"What if he..."
Still no.
"How about..."
STFU, No.
"Then why are we talking about it!?"
Because evil MAGA apparatchiks need you to fear that he will.

Why Has Trump Been Flirting With a Third Term?

Trump cannot be president again. But he and his loyal followers have every reason for wanting to make people think he can.
