Trump, who dodged the draft, said avoiding STDs was his “personal Vietnam”: “I feel like a great and very brave soldier”

Who uses SNAP?

My friend, who works, raising 5 kids, husband bailed and won’t pay child support

My neighbor battling cancer and her life-saving meds are so expensive, she chooses between meds or food

My friend who’s a vet and struggles with mental health issues.

Not one of them chose this.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

“Why would a prominent venture capitalist [Peter Thiel ally Marc Andreessen] bristle at a pope calling for basic ethics? Because Pope Leo XIV may be the one authority on earth that Big Tech cannot control.” 1/
A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.

The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.

It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.
Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

This was a good read.

Btw, did you know that after Joyce Carol Oates posted this Elon responded that she's a liar and then he immediately began going under film posts and replying "Great movie".

I'm not even joking. 😂
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Republicans pinky swear. Eight Democrats fall for it.

They traded some short-term holiday cheer for Project 2025's anti-science, anti-data, anti-woman, and anti-medicine agenda to infiltrate healthcare if they uphold their promise in December.

Note the timing of this Dem capitulation: Not when Americans are in food pantry lines, only when they're in TSA lines.

And there it is, folks. The AA CEO made the call.

Such horribly beautiful writing from @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social. We are all watching Trump deteriorate before our eyes - it's been happening for a long time, but it's accelerating now
Noel knows...

..."You can see the desperation in Trump’s narcotically hooded, soulless eyes... He behaves like a rabid animal when confronted with what he fears most: public humiliation and being labeled a loser. POTUS is a man who has never known true physical or emotional sobriety."
“President Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior, cognitive decline and clear physical deterioration are posing a great risk to the safety of our country and represents an imminent threat if not addressed in the near term.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

So don’t make housing more affordable, but instead simply enslave people for their entire lives…😖
Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

Tariffs are one way for this administration to redistribute wealth from poor and middle class to the rich. Government collects tariffs, consumers pay higher prices because of tariffs. Government gives that money to the rich as tax breaks. Wonderful.
