Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few. The West's political leaders are exposed as complicit, unprincipled or cowardly. End the occupation #SaveGaza #FreePalestine. #auspol

farming, news reporting…there is literally NOTHING in America that isn’t formed, shaped, influenced or orchestrated around racism in this country.

Period.

When people ask “why do you make everything about race,”

I always answer: “Because it is.”

There is NOTHING in America, that isn’t about race. Art, business, music, sports, science, marketing, architecture, city planning, education, small businesses, entertainment,

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Both Kelly Clarkson and Sarah McLaughlin are national treasures, and their signing together is spectacular!!

Proves to absolutely clear and obvious things:

a) we need a Kelly Clarkson duets album

b) we need a Lilith Fair 2.0 tour

We're not crying, you're crying 🥲🎶 'I Love You' with #SarahMcLachlan and #KellyClarkson #Duet

I think the better question would have been:

"Pamela Jo, as a fellow taker of bribes, in your case from Donald Trump to shut down your Florida AG investigation of Trump University's consumer fraud, did you approve the shutting down of the bribery investigation into Homan?"

The value is AI is fiction.

Period.

It is valuable. But it is also extremely unreliable.

It has its place, but like crypto currencies, it is a lot of smoke and mirrors valuation based principally on hype.

According to hacked emails obtained by @dropsitenews.com, 'journalist' Douglas Murray was allegedly writing secret draft speeches for the Israeli ambassador to the UN while also pretending to be an independent 'journalist'.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

Trump's farmer bailout raises fears about trade war winners and losers

Plans to spend billions of dollars supporting farmers have frustrated many other kinds of businesses that have also been hurt by tariffs.

The Israelization of the United States of America

Birds of a feather, do fascism together. American cities are getting a taste of what Palestinians endure under brutal Israeli occupation as the Trump Administration arms for martial law.

Perhaps you’ve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deport…the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

1000% disagree.

That’s like saying Christianity is inextricably tied to Blackness, because so many Black people are Christians and Christianity has permeated Black culture.

"Zionism is un-Jewish" is cowardice of the sort I usually expect from Christians unwilling to interrogate their own traditions.

Zionism is inextricably tied with Judaism. That does not make it good or beyond criticism. Have the courage to accept this & assess Zionism accordingly.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Phang: How are these Epstein victims supposed to feel about closure when you see Blanche meeting with Maxwell and then giving her a minimum-security camp move?

And now, conversations allegedly that Trump is going to have with the DOJ about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. It is an abomination
