This octopus is a resident of the Shitiping reef near my home in Hualien, Taiwan. A very convenient dive site indeed. ☺️

The reason Trump illegally used an anonymous billionaire to pay soldiers during the Epstein Shutdown is because he's going to need troops for the Insurrection Act and martial law.

The reason he'll let the poor die is because he doesn't give a shit about them. Their lives don't advance his schemes.

Illinois is 1 of few states where Dems could pass a new 2026 House map to respond to GOP gerrymanders, but its 14-3 map is already aggressive.

Flipping a GOP seat while preserving Black & Latino voting power is hard yet doable as shown below.

Interactive map: davesredistricting.org/join/17349d2...

Map of a hypothetical Democratic gerrymander of Illinois' congressional map designed to turn the current 14-3 majority into a 15-2 majority in 2026. The districts are colored by the 2024 presidential winner's margin, with Harris in blue and Trump in red. 15 districts would be securely blue while just two would be overwhelmingly red. The blue districts sprawl like pasta noodles across the northern half of the state to redistribute heavily blue parts of the Chicago area and use them to outvote heavily red rural areas.

NEW: For years, the Phoenix nonprofit Keys to Change has run a mail room for thousands of homeless people.

Now the U.S. Postal Service is cutting its $24,000 investment, leaving the organization to raise the extra money to keep it open.

The loss of support comes at a time of uncertainty for one of Arizona’s largest homeless services providers as the Trump administration calls for reducing and restructuring homelessness assistance grants.

Saikat Chakrabarti wants to be the leftist successor to Nancy Pelosi. The media's even called him SF's Zohran Mamdani.

But some local progressives harbor deep suspicions of Chakrabarti's track record. Here's why:

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?
