Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

For those of us who've been following PRECISELY this issue for decades, it's like the regularity of bird migrations. Obviously bogus claims (migrating north), fully & categorically debunked (migrating south) a month later. In the old days it was John Fund at WSJ oped page. Now it's DHS/DOJ.

The reporters and the press association should all do the logical things in response to Trump's ban on Politico, CNN, MSNOW. Everyone else's response should be to laugh at Trump for being a little bitch. CNN is too much for him? 🤣 A president crying out No Mas, No Mas. Low Energy. Sad.

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

They cleaned up ground zero. Now many are hiding from ICE
After 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation.

I understand the confidence about how this will all end, but I'm still livid at the Postmaster General for having the gall to say the USPS has the right to decide who gets to vote, when the USPS's actual job is to DELIVER THE GODDAMN MAIL, including every ballot, whether Donald Trump likes it or not

A note on Royce White, the former NBA player who says he's entering the WNBA draft, a judge ruled he abused his wife and teenage son in an April court order and determined he could not have contact with either of them for 50 years. Great way to "protect women's sports" transphobes.

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Another ~415,000 lower-income Americans were priced out of coverage altogether. acasignups.net/2026_oep/fin...
acasignups.net
Final 2026 Open Enrollment Report: Household Income (100 - 200% FPL)
Turning to the 100 - 200% FPL range, 64% of all exchange enrollees fall into this income range (up slightly from 63% last year). That's ~14.8 million people total, with ~10.7 million earning 100 - 150% FPL and the remaining ~4.1 million earning 150 - 200% FPL. The vast majority of those in the first bracket (and most of those in the second) should be enrolled in Silver plans since they're eligible for generous CSR assistance which boosts Silver plans up to "Secret Platinum" status: If they earn up to 150% FPL Silver plans have a 94% Actuarial Value; if they earn 150 - 200% FPL Silver is boosted to 87% AV. In layman's terms, High CSR Silver plans have either free or extremely low premiums along with extremely low deductibles & co-pays. Unfortunately, only 9.85 million enrollees chose Silver this year...and even then, not all of them are in the 100 - 200% FPL range, which means there's quite a few who left hundreds or thousands of dollars in financial assistance for out of pocket costs on the table...except that with the enhanced federal tax credits having expired, many of these folks may have had no choice due to the increase in their premiums. Put another way, getting a Ferrari for the price of an Audi doesn't do you much good if all you can afford is a Sentra.
