Sometimes I wonder if giving up a steady paycheck was the right call and sometimes I don't.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

It's been 41 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

If you thought Trump’s 28 minute interview with 60 Minutes was bonkers, imagine the 45 minutes they edited out.

Kamala Harris should sue 60 Minutes for editing the Trump "interview."
Spending a few days at my happy place (this is Moolack Beach). It’s been pouring rain and windy for the most part, but yesterday was sunny and beautiful. I am obsessed with rocks and sand art created by wind and waves.

Paramount Global, CBS, and 60 Minutes literally sold their credibility and their integrity for CEO bonuses and shareholder value. Trump rubbed their noses in their own shit last night and they sat there and took it, because the Press has been a collaborator with Trump from the beginning.

Trump is complaining about the Mar-a-Lago raid that uncovered sensitive government documents stacked next to his toilet, and our CBS interviewer can’t muster the slightest pushback.

Quoting again to add:

And we're supposed to "work across the aisle" with these people? People who think this? Of ordinary, hardworking Americans like you and me?

Fuck no. They must be expunged, excised, extirpated, exorcised, expurgated, expelled. Not "made nice" with

Add this to the stack of mounting evidence that the U.S. is sliding towards economic collapse.

We’re flying blind right now but the numbers are bad. Depression era bad.
THE U.S. HOUSING MARKET IS OFFICIALLY FROZEN SOLID. ONLY 2.8% OF HOMES — ABOUT 28 OUT OF EVERY 1,000 — CHANGED HANDS IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2025, THE LOWEST TURNOVER IN AT LEAST 30 YEARS (REDFIN).

He feels badly for ex-Prince Andrew and his family.

Not for the raped children.

Because Trump fundamentally doesn't feel that Epstein and his crew did anything wrong.

In Trump's mind, men are entitled to the body of young girls.
Trump on Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal: "I feel very badly. I mean, it's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation. And it's too bad. I feel badly for the family."

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

...Meanwhile, Trump's characterization of his lawsuit against CBS is utterly false, which is something you'd hope that a highly paid news personality from that same network would be willing to mention.

Instead, Norah O'Donnell just wants to move on

Wait till they find out that the real threat to kids on Halloween is all the cars that are getting way more priority than the safety of our kids.
My sister-in-law forwarded (in a “Get a load of this shit” way) a post from the local FB moms group, lamenting that there were NO sites set up to get your kids’ Halloween candy X-rayed.

Someone replied, “I’ve lived in nine states and have never heard of this.”

The OP: “Sad.”

This is for Texas but I hope y’all are paying attention to Friday, November 7th because SCOTUS is going to rule on same sex marriages for all Americans.

This is the kind of thing the far left could’t be bothered with caring about in 2016 & 2024.
