But CEO pay hits new highs.

i wonder why that is, ACA Insurance Selector Portal. do you think it could be that health insurance for a family of three costs more than a mortgage and a car loan put together

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

What Happened to America First? Once a self-styled nationalist, Donald Trump has turned “America First” into a personal brand of global vanity.

We live in an episode of Veep

Why We Fight On raising children during an authoritarian slide.

"Until nine years ago it never dawned on me that my children might come of age in a country where the president talks about vermin poisoning the blood of the nation…[and] openly flirts with a third term and the Insurrection Act. Where police wear masks and round people up on the streets."

I told the post office clerk I needed some stamps with my usual caveat: no flags, no white guys. She rummaged through the drawer and said "Is SpongeBob a white guy?" and everyone on line was like "No."

New Jerseyans expected to pay nearly 175 percent more for health insurance on exchange The spike is attributed to the expiration of enhanced federal health insurance subsidies, the key sticking point of the federal government shutdown, the state said.

OMG! This is 100% bc of the GOP: New Jerseyans who purchase health insurance through the state’s exchange will see an average increase of nearly 175 percent in their premiums next year, the Murphy administration announced Monday. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

And the Charlei Kirk thing? Klein doesn't espouse Charlie Kirk's view. He reviles them.

The analysis I mostly see is shit like "move to the center" and "go more left," and "Mamdani is the end of the party." Klein offers a lot more substantive thought on issues.

I don't know why all the invective against Ezra. Yes, I understand what he wrote about Charlie Kirk pissed some people off -- but I met Ezra at the 2004 DNC and he's a smart guy, trying to figure out out how the Dems can get themselves out of this hole we've found ourselves in.

How do you know you're you?

And like the government could come up with some way to figure out how to use the money, like, I don't know, make a budget and stuff. And pay for like science and tech and medical stuff and help people with health costs and education and like that would make our country better and stuff.

Censorship Alert: I published a book about Ghislaine Maxwell trial, and another on Kevin Spacey's trial- this evening I got an email from Amazon's KDP saying they are inappropriate and there all of my books are being taken down, including on Sudan, SBF, Eric Adams

Hey! I have an idea -- instead of soliciting contributions to the government to pay for government projects and stuff, why don't we ask corporations and the wealthy to give some money each year based on their income? That would pay for so much!

This fact is not breaking through. Republicans have the power to open the government by themselves.

They just need to use the “nuclear option” to suspend or change the filibuster.

Rs nuked three weeks ago for judges, so we know they’re able.

But they’d rather keep it closed and blame Dems.

WTF Is Chuck Schumer Doing? (Psst. It Looks Like Winning.) Chuck Schumer's awkward attempts at humor shouldn’t obscure how well he has navigated the government shutdown.

One clunker of a joke doesn’t mean Democrats are mishandling the shutdown showdown. So far, they’ve performed better than any opposition party in the history of shutdown showdowns –– @billscher.bsky.social:

I forgot what Twitter was like before Elon took a crap on it. Nice to be here.

And never needed to — it’s paid off for him in spades. He’s the kindergarten bully who was made Principal.
