I wish I could get paid to not work. I would preferably like to be alive while not working and getting paid.

“The president is fighting a fraud crisis.” Is this the same president who demanded IRS immunity and whose Capital One accounts were closed because of money laundering?
When Mueller started looking into Trump’s finances, Trump had a fit, called it a red line. Follow the money. Stop covering up the wrongdoings of incredibly rich people.
Your groceries need a hazmat team, but sure, let’s hold another hearing about masks.
Canadians are fed up with lying Pete Hoesktra. He puts the ass in ambassador. There is a national campaign to make him persona non grata. Here is my call out to get Canadians to sign the parliamentary e-petition to give him the bum's rush. @meidascanada.ca @meidastouch.com youtu.be/dw5JtXUuJZs?...

The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful
A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

David@davidicw.bsky.social · 10h agoThe public didn’t know what really happened. Historians had to guess. The truth lived in rumors, not records. The institution could bury its motives under layers of official language, and nobody outside the building had the tools to challenge it. Read: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/08/the-...
And coal miners keep voting against themselves
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 4h agoCoal miners in central Appalachia are suffering from the highest rates of black lung in 50 years. This comes after Trump cancelled regulations limiting toxic silica dust in mines, which would have prevented at least 1,067 deaths and 3,746 black lung cases.
Rent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Trump's CMS just ended a Medicare subsidy, calling it a bailout. The real story: government slashed its own share of seniors' drug costs from 80% to 20%, paid insurers to hide it, then let the cushion go. bit.ly/4wc1b1A
Splitting Your Healthcare Bill, Not Lowering It
Trump cut a Medicare subsidy early. It exposes the whole broken debate.

1. Now-deleted audio shows that Acting AG Todd Blanche privately told faith leaders the DOJ is working to make the 2022 Dobbs decision, which revoked federal abortion protections, “permanent in every single state.” Blanche also suggested a crackdown on the mailing of abortion pills.🧵
The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.
I can’t even find many Republicans who are still backing Max Miller after yesterday. Except the moral paragons Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and the Republican leadership of the House.
Republican voters in western NC gave us Madison Cawthorn and then replaced him with Chuck Edwards. Obviously character and decency isn’t something that matters very much to them.
Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
Rick Wilson: Russia is a third-world country with first-world propaganda and intelligence system. It used to have second-world energy system, but now, with Ukraine knocking it apart, it’s a fourth-world one. They’re going to freeze in the dark this winter, and I’m here for that.

NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.
This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
