I like to read the bills in the US House and NC House myself rather than rely on the media to tell me what to think about them. It has been revelatory. No DM's, porn, crypto, or gofundme.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

Trump's Hormuz crisis did what climate summits couldn’t. Oil demand went from growth of 930k barrels/day in Jan. to a decline of 2.5 m barrels/day in Sept., according to the IEA. Gas demand went from a forecast 2.0% increase in Jan. to a 0.6% drop, in the 3rd quarter gas report. flip.it/8YO_jv

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.
