Going to be posting the books I read from now through 2025 in this thread more to keep myself accountable than anything else😅

The book cover of As I Lay Dying written by William Faulkner. The cover has an image of trees, grass, and a wet dirt road above William Faulkner's name that is written in white.

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad.

They didn’t misrepresent anything.

Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown.

This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

One factory was contaminated with pigeon feces. At another, pathogens got into purified water used to produce drugs.

But when the FDA cites an errant factory, it conceals an important piece of information: the names of drugs made there.

ICE is traumatizing children with cruel immigration raids, then trying to strip them of their due process rights when they’re alone, without attorneys or family to help them.

Tell ICE to stop tormenting kids — and urge Congress to introduce legislation to protect these children.

New in PN: @gelliottmorris.com on Trump's dire polling

"Trump has the unique problem that he started off a lot lower than other presidents. So as he loses ground — and he has lost ground at about the normal clip — he just continues to be worse and worse than every other president before him."

We now all have the money to care for ourselves & give back. This is how it's supposed to work. The govt. should be helping those most in need & when they are on their feet they can get better jobs, take care of their families, put back into the govt. & their communities what was put into them.

My mother left an abusive spouse with nothing but me, my brother, & what could fit on her back & his little stroller. She relied on various govt. programs including SNAP to keep us fed & sheltered. It was years before she was in a place to provide for us independently, but we never went hungry...

Sonya Iryna @sonyairyna.bsky.social · 1d

I'm so tired of seeing people shaming people who rely on SNAP instead of the politicians who are responsible. People are going to starve. Kids are going to starve. Elderly people are going to starve. It's NOT THEIR FAULTS.
If I see one more person blame people for being hungry I'm going to lose it.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

"Government" isn't shutdown. The Trump administration continues to destroy the White House, kidnap people, and take bribes.

The only thing "shutdown" is the branch of government that could stop Trump (Congress), which is odd because Republican-controlled Congress is too craven to do that anyway.
