This is becoming urgent.

Private equity is gutting hospitals for profit — when they collapse, communities lose care. That’s life and death.

PE has been taking over some of your favorite companies for years. They sell off assets, strip the business bare, and when there’s nothing left, it collapses.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

The videos of carnage on the open seas have, by now, become almost routine: A small, fast-moving boat skips along the waves. Seconds later, it erupts into a ball of flame after munitions flying too...

The Boat Strikes Are Just the Beginning

What the Trump administration is portraying as a drug mission may be about a lot more.

I’m considering my posters for October 18th.

One side: no fear,
the other side: TAX the rich.

What do you think?

Energy companies are learning this lesson faster than Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

This is where we are at. ICE terrorized a whole apartment building in Chicago.
They are arresting citizens and releasing them later.
Show this video to anyone who has not seen it.
They are shredding our constitution.

Brave reporter! Keep it up

Finally, a reporter asked the question I’ve been screaming at my TV.

📌 Why do you keep lying about immigrants getting free healthcare?

And Trump went straight into his same old word salad mode of incoherent nonsense. No answer.

Hang in there Democratic senators! Hang in there! Explain to the American people why the OBBB Bill is so terrible.

Thank you for turning me onto a new news source. I’m a Michigander with a Dutch heritage so took special interest in the story you posted. Another thing to grieve on this Sunday.

Today. Ezra Klein show podcast: with him and Ta-Nehisi Coates discussing politics and drawing lines and other hard questions, within the context of recent history and broader history. Excellent, provocative listen.

Trump at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service: “He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I HATE my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them. I’m sorry.”

Again, this is a memorial service.

They are NOT the majority.

They have billionaires who own mainstream and social media, most of the Supreme Court and half of Congress.

Yet, they are NOT the majority.

This is why they’re always trying to take away your votes.

Because they are NOT the majority.

They never will be.

Cocchiarella reminded me today, in his substack newsletter, that Trump skipped a memorial for Kirk at the Kennedy Center to go golfing. Remember that when he publicly grieves at today’s event.

I’ve been boycotting Nestlé‘s products since 1971. It’s hard, they make a lot of products. I’m always discovering something that I did not know was made by their very large corporation. Starbucks, for example. Anyway, it’s totally doable. You’ll be fine without Hulu.
