If you’re willing to say, out loud, that it’s “worse” to rape a 5 year old than a 14 year old, this was never about protecting kids.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

It's a special Election Day bulletin: Trump threatens SNAP, rage-posts about Prop 50, and endorses Cuomo while Marge torches her own party on The View. Meanwhile, it appears voters have turned on Trump. And we're just getting started... Catch up now:
Today in Politics, Bulletin 243. 11/4/25
… With a 37% approval rating and bad election results looming tonight, Trump spent the day making a series of unhinged maniacal posts on Truth Social.

Yeah, my understanding is that $40 billion is nearly enough to continue the ACA subsidies for another two years.

The “Like” buttons should have an angry emoji choice.
To have a $339 policy go to $1200 is unacceptable.
Those who make even less than the teacher that
Sen Mark Kelly described, the $18-$25k category of people in hourly service industries, making $1500 a month won’t get ANY insurance at that rate.

The important thing is Argentina gets $40,000,000,000.00 that might otherwise go to help Americans.
So we're all good on that, right?

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help," is actually a pretty good slogan and aspiration for a political party.
I suspect a huge part of the reason Republicans are taking the heat for the shutdown is that ending federal programs across the board *just is* the GOP brand. Dems are the party of a government here to help you, & Republicans aren't, so of course as federal programs fail, everyone knows who to blame
With Trump and his cronies using the shutdown as cover to shut off the food stamp program, food banks will soon be flooded with demand from the 42 million Americans--including 16 million kids--who rely on the program. Which means the rest of us will need to step up and give whatever we can.

when the executive is unitary
President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.
Whether he gets paid will ultimately be up to DOJ's second-in-command, who was recently his personal lawyer.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.
