We can’t lose sight of this. Millions of families are going hungry in this country because Donald Trump wanted to give a tax break to billionaires. It’s a moral abomination.

Pieces of space junk are falling to earth on a regular basis. On Techtonic this week I spoke with astronomer Samantha Lawler, who has been raising the alarm...

Common loon coming in for a landing TT: @harrycollinsphotography

Corrupt career politicians are in the pockets of special interests, delivering for billionaires instead of for you. It’s time to throw them out.

I added Taylor Fresh Foods (Taylor Farms) to the boycott guide. They paid Trump $1 million dollars to relax food safety regulations so they can wash their lettuce in shit water. That's the short version but essentially true. As a new entry, it's listed first: open.substack.com/pub/psychope...

FEC is without a quorum to act. EAC is without a quorum to act. DOJ is under Trump's direct control. This is a very dangerous time for elections. My advice and request is to sign-up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Just after I published the column below, the NYT published this: "Amazon Plans to Spend $200 Billion on A.I. and Other Projects This Year." The $50 billion earmarked for OpenAI seems so quaint. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/t...

Thanks to Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara’s years of playing unwitting, over-the-top eccentrics in Christopher Guest movies, Schitt’s Creek had a similarly left-of-center vibe. Why the show was so great: rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

The Democrats are idiots. But I'll still vote blue 💜

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 6mo ago

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

The new lie: protesters are paid professionals.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.
