Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.
No mention at all of the fact that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to do this, that plans haven't even been reviewed (because the office is closed for the government shutdown), that the size and cost estimates keep changing, etc., etc.

If you could go back in time and not kill Hitler but prevent the formation of exactly one major company, which one would would you target to do the most good for the future?

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

I'm not gonna lie, I can't get this video out of my head. The White House hasn't been assaulted like this since 1814, and we're just letting it happen. It's absolutely staggering as the symbol of this moment.
It’s day 20 of the government shutdown and construction crews at the White House's East Wing tear down walls to make room for trump's f*cking massive ballroom.

A quarter of a BILLION…when Americans are struggling to get by. Absolutely shameful.
Not to be gross, but the band aid I pulled off my scrape appears to have some icky residue on it. Really, really hoping that scrape isn’t infected. Cleaned it, applied more bacitracin, and another band aid. Why is the human body so disgusting.

I guess I just feel like it should be a bigger deal that Penske Media owns the Golden Globes and ALSO Rolling Stone, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, GoldDerby, and Deadline, plus 20% of Vox Media

The longer the govt is shut down the more people get their renewals, and the more people who aren't already convinced will realize that the Republicans are lying that it's about Healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

Also this bill is impossible

Whole thread, my friends. The ACA is not perfect, but it saves lives.
Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again?

I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale.

That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?

Hating the ACA is similar to hating on vaccines.

It's a luxury borne of not really appreciating what existed before.

The fix wasn't perfect, and there is a lot more that we could do to make it better.

But the "ACA Was Bad" Discourse is just untethered from reality.

Schools in South Carolina recently sent home unvaccinated kids, to stem a growing measles outbreak. Turns out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly infected their classmates for days.

That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

I rarely if ever get the urge to deep clean and reorganize my kitchen. But that is how I spent my day. After I purged the spring and summer wear and swapped it with the fall/winter stuff yesterday. I was productive this weekend but now I am too exhausted to face Monday.
