Flooded Texas Area Gets Some Relief After 4 Days

This is about the horrific floods in East Texas, in 1994. More to come for this thread. Just remember this:

31 years ago this October. Lt Gov Dan Patrick? He was a RW AM radio shock jock at the time, in HOUSTON.

Dr. Oz claimed that families’ health care premiums will only go up $13 a month. Who is he trying to fool?

Open enrollment is here, and millions of families can see the truth for themselves: costs are going up by a LOT more than $13.

WHOA.

This has nothing to do with the ACA...at least not directly (employer coverage will see an indirect impact from the fuckery with the ACA & Medicaid, but I wasn't expecting that to really hit for another year).

@charlesgaba.com Well, I got a packet from BCBSTX today letting me know that my (employer-subsidized) Blue Advantage Plus Gold 203 plan that costs $1018.96/mth this year will cost $1664.62/mth in 2026. That is not a marketplace plan. That coverage is only for me, no dependents.

At the same time, Russia launched 5,298 long-range drones, which is 6% fewer than the previous month.

While owners of private buildings can bar the open-carry of firearms, state rules don’t give the same leeway to local governments.

You can give people all of the data, context, and facts about the benefits system…

And they still think that their opinion, fake anecdotes, and emotional reactions are a suitable debating point against that.

It’s a huge reason society is so fucked up at the moment. I hate it.

The reality of the Democratic Party -- what its elected officials actually do with the power they are given -- is almost entirely immaterial to US political discourse. Happens off-stage, basically.

Discourse is dominated by a kind of collective hallucination, a bogieman invented by its opponents.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 18h

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

Douthat writes that 2024, when Harris lost by 1.5% of the popular vote, was "an ideological referendum and progressivism lost." I wonder why he didn't view the 2020 election, when Trump lost by 4.5% of the popular vote, as a far more significant loss for conservatism.

Comparing the relation between the presidential election results in 2020 and 2024 with the post-election commentary is a fascinating exercise.

2020
Biden 81,283,501 popular votes, 51.3%
Trump 74,223,975 popular votes 46.8%

2024
Trump 77,302,580 49.8%
Harris 75,017,613. 48.3%

The Trump admin has kept the government shut down for a MONTH. Federal workers have missed their paychecks, millions are losing food assistance and going hungry, and our essential services are shuttered.

Fund the government.

America First?

If Prop 50 fails — we’ll never put a check on Trump, who just gave $40 billion to Argentina while raising funds for his gilded ballroom instead of continuing SNAP benefits for struggling Americans.

VOTE #YesOnProp50 and get your ballot in!

Sadly, it all comes from Jim Crow, reconstruction era & earlier, and ramped up with Civil Rights era & Reagan & Dixie-crats.

The brainwashing for 60 years has been highly effective with even white progressives.

I just heard one talking about expensive cars, phones, and lazy people. Gawd!
