New: Trump’s abrupt announcement to send $90 payments to seniors by dipping into a Medicare fund has rattled Capitol Hill. One GOP aide told WaPo that lawmakers had planned to use the money to offset funding for community health centers, diabetes programs and other initiatives.

Pope Bob preaching!

This is why technofascists, oligarchs, and their servants, such as JD Vance, hate this Pope.

NEW: The U.S. added ONLY 29,000 jobs in September. (Under Biden, average monthly job growth in 2024 was 186,000 jobs!) The unemployment rate went up to 4.2%. Trump's economy creates more wealth for his oligarchs but no new jobs for the rest of us! Plus Gas and Diesel at record highs!

I knew everyone hated Liberty Biberty, it is very funny hearing what some of you would like to do to it.

This Cubs team is unusual in that they clearly peaked in May (20-3) when their 2 best players (PCA and Bregman) were doing nothing.

I mean, we all agree that the White Sox are the default team when the Phillies get eliminated, right?

Watching the Bears go for it on 4th down instead of taking the points:

I know the strategies involved. I know why we have bullpen games. But I find them to be an aesthetic nightmare and they can fuck all the way off.

Not for nothing but usually the "coverage" of the "caravan" has already started by this point in the cycle.

People who call this techno-feudalism are wrong: feudal lords still had obligations to their serfs, enforced by courts. Excommunication was on the table & it was taken seriously. Colonists have zero obligations to the colonized. Working the inferior beings to death, mass murder, all authorized.

In class, when he wasn't critiquing or lecturing, he doodled with whatever tool was handy. He'd sometimes tear these doodles up and toss them in the trash after class, prompting a mad rush of Kubies to the basket to recover what he'd done. Here's one that I recovered and taped back together.

One of the greatest to ever do it!

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

If you actually believed in democracy, you’d admit that—sometimes—you lose elections. You’d admit that when a majority of “them” vote against you, you lose. “We won’t let them win.” That’s corruption and tyranny. At least he’s honest, I suppose.

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

Once you notice this, it's the most obvious double standard in the political press. Democrats have to answer for the smallest voice even if it has no actual tie to them, but Republicans never have to answer for the insanely racist billionaire donor driving their entire party.

Democrats who have had absolutely nothing to do with Hasan Piker will be hounded about him, while Republicans who are directly benefitting from Musk funding will be asked about him in the most generic "money in politics" way, if at all.
