Question - how do you manage books you scan that say you it’s 250 pages but the numbered pages end at 225 because the entire introduction section isn’t numbered but critical to the story? I’m confused as to how to track my reading when say I stop at page numbered 25 but really have read 50 pages.
Just reread Fahrenheit 451 after reading it for the first time 35 years ago! What a powerful ending and message! Even in current times, somehow it reminded me to relax, remain humble, not to be pedant and that nothing lasts forever - which oddly was such a release of anxiety! 📚💙
Can this entire administration get any dumber?
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

“King Donald The First. F*ck that.”

Robert De Niro wants to see you in the streets on October 18 to show the world that America has no kings, and power still belongs to the people: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Just wanted to share this graphic from KFF, the green sliver in this pie chart indicates the amount of Medicaid Spending for Emergency Medicaid in 2023. It's (0.4%) of the total Medicaid budget. Undocumented immigrants sometimes receive Emergency Medicaid.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
PREACH brother!
Most plans begin open enrollment on Nov 1. This needs to be fixed NOW!

Democrats are rejecting a 7 week “band-aid” that delays a fix because waiting means 20M face higher premiums & 15M cut off Medicaid.

Better to fight now than abandon families later.

Excellent read and something I’ve been advocating for in my circle. Rip the bandaid off already.

From the article:
Either Trump makes things worse with Democratic affirmation, or Trump makes things worse despite Democratic opposition.
Opinion | Democrats shouldn’t bail out Trump as the shutdown drags on
The best time for the opposition to take a stand, rather than settle for untrustworthy promises, is right now.

I agree!!
AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

After shutting down the federal government and voting to do nothing about an imminent health insurance premium spike, House Republicans have now gone on a multi-week vacation.

Donald Trump and the GOP just aren't for the American people.
I understand this.
I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.
Why are my tax dollars going to provide GOP Representatives in Congress an undeserved vacation? When they are not in session they should not be paid!
So let me understand this. Even during the government “shutdown” Congress Members are still being paid? If so, why has GOP Speaker Mike Johnson told GOP Representatives that he’ll give them 48 hours notice when they need to fly in to DCA for work? And no, they aren’t working at home. GOP are babies!
Just FYI…Puerto Ricans are US citizens. 😑
According to the American Civil Liberties Union, Republicans have introduced 616 anti-LGBTQ+ bills in legislatures in 2025.

Why would I ever be or vote for a Republican?
