Can we have a serious discussion about the insidious nature of @adobe.com ? I can’t purchase adobe - it’s expensive - which means I can’t open documents. I get it, Google isn’t free, I’m the product. Adobe, can you have a willing human product category for free?

At the fish store today, purchasing bread, I handed over my phone to the sales clerk to use Apple Pay. They apologized for invading my privacy by checking out what was playing on my phone, and then applauded my taste in music. #lifeofashowgirl #taylorswift

Pharmaceutical companies need to stop spending money on tv advertising and start bribing insurance executives. Because insurance denies the medications that are advertised it seems like they could take out the middleman and save money. #insurance

Health Insurance companies are setting us against each other. A simple trip to the pharmacy becomes a battlefield because insurance denies a medication that a doctor has prescribed. The frustration on both sides is palpable. #singlepayer

Yesterday I brought my 17 year old to GP for annual back to school form signing. I’ve been managing school forms for 25 years. Yesterday was the last time. I thought I was disproportionally happy and then I realized how much mental energy they required and I accept being joyful. #mentalload

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Pretty impressive work by the Republican House to pass a budget bill that both takes health insurance away from 10.9 million people AND increases the national debt by 2.4 trillion dollars. Today’s GOP: less health and more debt!

🤦🏼For the past month I’ve described a former colleague as a twisted version of Dickens’ Bartleby the Scrivener. Though the allusion works, the attribution is wrong. Bartleby is Herman Melville’s creation. Thus I have undercut my attempt at seeming erudite. #booktok

It’s not just incorrect, but the opposite—the antithesis—of habeas corpus for the president to have the unfettered, unreviewable “right” to cast people into exile in the torture chambers of foreign autocrats.

This is extraordinary. The Secretary of Homeland Security doesn’t know what the right of habeas corpus is (the ancient right to go to court to challenge government detention) and offers an incoherent definition which suggests she thinks it’s a presidential power to deport people?

It seems like the head of the Department of Homeland Security should know what habeas corpus is. Especially since it is a pillar of the Constitution, the WH Policy Director has said publicly that they may suspend it, and DHS will have to enforce that. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump, on the leader of Russia: "Putin is tired of this whole thing and he’s not — he’s not looking good. And he wants to look good” It's hard to imagine a more fundamental misunderstanding. No, Putin is not "tired of the whole thing" - the war is the only thing keeping his economy going

CBS News quietly updated their story. I still don’t understand how WaPo could’ve reported it first if I was the one who “uncovered” it, but I guess it’s an improvement.

The Rwanda arrangements were first reported by the Washington Post, which also cited work by independent journalist Marisa Kabas, who had uncovered the recent deportation from the U.S. of an Iraqi national to Rwanda.

But Kirk's own organization, Turning Point, sells merch printed on Next Level and Gildan blanks, which are produced in Latin America. Is Kirk willing to sacrifice a bit of corporate profits to put American workers first? If so, I can help him source the right t-shirts.

Turning Point's website. This is from the merch section, which shows a t-shirt. The word Next Level 3000 is highlighted.

A screenshot from Next Level Apparel's website showing where the t-shirts are made. The locations are dotted around Latin America.

A red t-shirt from Turning Point. The t-shirt says "Big Government SUCKS." The tag says Gildan.
