You know what. The first politician that can guarantee me they'll pass a bill that blocks every single politician, pac or superpac from unsolicited text messages OF ANY KIND will get my vote. Fuck every one of you out-of-state motherfuckers spamming my phone with "urgent" pleas for cash.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

Not to mention the fact that Republicans deliberately hamstrung the original legislation with lawsuit after lawsuit. So the ACA of today does NOT function as it was designed. It's the Republican m.o.: Deliberately break things, then point to them and scream: "See, it doesn't work!"

Trump's entire persona only exists because of fake news. The only genuine thing about Trump is his narcissism and his transactional nature. Every other single thing about him in the public sphere is fake. He drank his own kool-aid, but didn't do us the honor of dying first.

And what happens when, after all the arguments are made, the full court determines that the Trump administration acted illegally? What happens to all those people who were deported to those third world countries and suffered untold abuses? Who gets held accountable for that?

You can't go on the record and call the deportees "criminals" if they have no criminal record, right? I mean, surely not, right?

This feels like a willful dereliction of duty or something. In what world do the equities favor the government here? Especially if they're going to fast-track oral arguments? And can't Sauer be held to some standard for lying to the court about the kind of people being deported?

This article was highlighted in an email from NYT this morning. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... I read some of these responses and I think: All politics is local. Republicans have had 1 party control of your state for 29 years. If shit is bad, it seems obvious who shoulders the blame, yeah?

Never, in 20 years, have I ever seen an otherwise qualified and culture-matched candidate rejected because they brought their own beverage. Not even by the older boomers who used to be the final say. If, as an interviewer, you are that hung up on hydration...well friend, that's a YOU problem.

The whole "To iced coffee or not to iced coffee" debate has been hilarious to me. I've been interviewing candidates, either solo or on committee, for 20 years. Before every in person interview at every job I've worked, we've offered coffee, tea, water to the candidate before the interview.

These people are so thick. That is LITERALLY the Republican platform. "The government is the problem. Hire us to fix it." -- Then, they break the government. When campaign season starts, "The government is the problem, Hire us to fix it." Do they even hear themselves?

Universal healthcare doesn't mean "free". It means "free at the point of access". Because, you know, our taxes would actually be paying for it, and providers get paid from the single-payer entity. Rather than premiums propping up for-profit healthcare. Jesus Christ, these people are fucking stupid.
