According to the new rules, if you and a few friends go to a defense contractor’s testing facility and you say “where are the missiles” and they don’t let you in then all federal funds for defense contractors will be frozen

Day one in Mamdani’s NYC. I woke up in my quiet neighborhood and walked my dog on the serene, snowy, newly socialist streets. A grandma walking her dog smiled at me. It was clear she had read Karl Marx with her morning coffee. The indoctrination has begun. How will we survive?

Meanwhile, I’m over here panicking about how I’m going to pay my ACA health insurance premium that is roughly 300% more expensive … by midnight tonight.
This is obviously distressing but also who the fuck are they going to hire?? They’re already recruiting guys who weren’t qualified enough to be mall cops. Where are these 14k people coming from?
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

If Trump wasn't wrecking the economy with his stupid tariffs, farmers wouldn't need a bailout in the first place.
Oh and what's the GOP plan for all the farmers who get health care through the ACA whose premiums are skyrocketing?
Right, there is NO PLAN.

Farmers say Trump's payment isn't enough amid rising health care costs
President Trump announced $12 billion in one-time payments to farmers as they adjust to increased tariffs on exports. Some farmers say even with that help they still face rising health care costs.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.

I live in a city where immigrants did all of this and more: They’ve saved the city from itself.
They’ve packed it with children, small businesses, and immaculate multi-generational homes.
They’ve “gentrified” it in all the right ways.
Twenty-five years ago, this place was a nasty meth ghetto.

Immigrants didn’t take your house. Immigrants built your house, grew and prepared your food, raised your wages, and made your community safer.

Watching a lot of the debating on X between the pro and anti-Israel right and it's really fascinating (in a very bad/sad way) to see the Jewish right and Zionist right in general face that they need to debate against Nazism becoming part of their party.
They missed that Nazis were always there.

This person raised a wonderful human being. This situation is a win for every party involved and it’s a great way to better a small segment of a community.
One of my kids used to work at a Major Grocery Store deli, and they all rang up hot foods as cold for SNAP recipients.
If you work in a deli and can do this without losing your job, please do so.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
