If you have paid subscriptions on Substack, you are asking your readers to take a portion of their money to fund racist, antisemitic, and anti-trans speech.
Substack takes ten percent of people’s revenue and then gives it to people like Bari Weiss who said Nazi salutes aren’t really Nazi salutes.

Not sure why Democrats would provide any votes to keep the Trump/Musk government open. They are ignoring the law. Passing a new law saying they need to follow the law doesn't accomplish much.
Republicans control both chambers of Congress.

Trump and Musk's slash-and-burn tactics are a sticking point in talks to prevent a shutdown
Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democratic appropriator, urged Republicans to help stop Trump from usurping Congress’ spending powers and not to “follow Elon towards a shutdown.”

In the past 24 hours, I’ve had a ton of conversations with people both impacted by and frightened of the administration’s current orders. In many of those conversations, folks have found these suggestions for what to do first to be helpful, so I coalesced them into something sharable.

hard to articulate how fucked up it is that one of the leading stories on ESPN dot com is about how a football player screwed over bettors
