Paul Krugman only reads blogs and that is why he, unlike everyone else who has been in punditry for decades, has never lost his mind
If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

It's ALL research! This admin has killed world leading opportunities. My brilliant friend was published while still interning! She’s does hair for the bills, and can't find anything that pays (nyc). Wild part- In her paper,had to change “female fly” to “egg-carrying fly” because of the trump admin.

She finally told a whole generation of peers to step aside w/her retirement. Long overdue.She’s brilliant and knows how to run, steer, and anchor that ship. But her party’s choices reminded us it’s oligarchs vs capitalists. I just want to snuggle w/them. They're up for #adoptdontshop #blueskykittens

She's preventing them from changing the rules and reacting mid "game".
#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Finally got to latest SNL and damn I officially have a crush on Brandi Carlile - that performance was so punk and reminded me of SNL's Stevie Nicks performance a year earlier witching the f-out.

It's important to know how close all of this still is. what happened was still less than 10 points. He showed us the level of intent and participation, and we have to keep going with that in the next round.
Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

My area of New York (big ole Brooklyn) is quiet today. We're a little scared because the corruption has been so strong and long. We're hesitant to be so fucking excited about Zohran. Chills my friends. Chills.

I hate it had to happen this way. But I love this!! Reverse it all the way until he's out of the way.
In light of immigration enforcement operations in the West Chicago area, Audrey Luhmann got together with a team of rapid responders to deliver candy to two area apartment complexes that she said were recently hit by immigration raids.

And that’s how reverse trick-or-treating was born.
Reverse trick-or-treating comes to West Chicago amid the growing presence of immigration enforcement
Audrey Luhmann collected about $900 worth of candy in 72 hours to deliver to children around the Timber Lake and Main Park apartments Friday evening.

When the Constitution fails, as it has in the United States, it becomes essential to understand international law and the Geneva Conventions. This requires learning the processes that govern them and becoming fluent in the language and frameworks used in global legal systems.

Hmmm women do this all the time. Sometimes it's ChatGPT. Sometimes it's Real housewives.
“Prompt parties,” gatherings of women over cheese and wine to chat about how ChatGPT can help them, are emerging as the next-generation of Tupperware party in San Francisco.

This story is bonkers. Shadow donation pages and campaign money loop holes.
NEW: I've obtained TWO emails sent directly from AIPAC on Aug. 21 and Sept. 15 fundraising for State Sen. Laura Fine in IL-09

Both emails include links to a hidden webpage called "pro-Israel Network" with live (and hidden) donation pages. But the homepage to the site is dead

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.

Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.
Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?

If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

Can't believe how often I run into the misconception that shelter animals are all broken, deficient, or ruined in some way. The overwhelming majority of shelter animals end up there because of human circumstances, NOT because they did anything wrong.
