Welp, it finally happened. I was unable to get a covid booster. Went a few rounds with the pharmacist about not needing pre-existing conditions. I will go elsewhere, NJ law is clear. I may have cussed a little, smiling through my anger and doing the Orange Shitgibbon jerk-off dance on my way out.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

h/t Jim Wright "The higher mortgage rates are actually a good sign for the economy because corporations are borrowing money to build things like data centers instead of lending to homeowners." -- Kevin Hassett, Director of Trump's National Economic Council, Fox News, 10/2/26

As a survivor of an abusive evangelical cult growing up, I can only say Fuck All the Way Off with this bullshit. JFC, it's as if Bob Jones University took over the country. You've been warned.

Pretty clear Hegseth’s primary mission is to transform the military ideologically by overtly indoctrinating troops with Christian nationalism and apocalyptic holy war messaging while rooting out those who don’t want to participate and just want to serve their country admirably.

Joe Scarborough: It’s important we now have documentation that the Republican Party has corrupted itself to this degree. Republicans now support the Centralized State stealing taxpayers’ money to run ads for their political party.

Trump is warning of a "final battle" against Democrats, who he calls "communists, Marxists, and fascists". He is using OUR taxpayer dollars to fund these ads calling us Democrats "the enemy". This is illegal and unconstitutional, like everything else he does. www.cnn.com/2026/09/27/p...

White House airs another government-funded ad, this time with Trump warning of ‘final battle’ | CNN Politics
The Trump administration is set to launch another overtly political campaign ad funded by taxpayer dollars, attacking the “fake news media” and “the sick political class that hates our country.”

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Why not Trump Intelligence already. 🎪
Donald J. Trump • @realDonaldTru... 1h
Many people think that the words "Artificial Intelligence" are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to Al, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (El) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing "Revolution?"

On the NJ Turnpike yesterday. A major trucking corridor, the trucks were lined up for miles and miles. Can you imagine how much diesel they must burn in traffic? Their hurt is gonna be our hurt.

It's looking an awful lot like he's pulling an East Wing on the Kennedy Center. I wouldn't be surprised if we wake up tomorrow to see the demolition well underway. Also, who gets the $250 million already eartagged for them? And what's that BS $17 million he's bleating on about?

So Costco is limiting purchases of its branded engine oil and I can't help remembering the odd/even days of the '70s gas shortage. At least then we got a free plastic dinosaur or a glass. Still have these.

The U.S. FDA announced 46 recalls in August alone. That includes food products and drugs— a notable increase from August 2025 when it was 26 products. That's why it's more important than ever to share links to sources, and to click through and read the article. The headline alone won't suffice.
