I need new podcast recs. I’m a true crime and paranormal girlie who regularly listens to TCO, Morbid, and Dateline. My second favorite genre is whatever you call You’re Wrong About and it’s extended cinematic universe (American Hysteria, Maintenance Phase, and If Books Could Kill).

I was out at a club last night to see one of my current favorite DJs. A 20-something asked to connect on IG. I figured why the heck not? He probably had a nice little surprised this morning when he realized I’m 43. Anyway…still got it! 🤣🤣

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago. Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

If someone performs on SNL, stays for the curtain call, says something to the host then walks off stage for the camera to see….they’re doing it for attention. Maybe don’t give it to him.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

At this point, the Dems have become a party of flailing useless babies who refuse to fight and will preemptively bend the knee to Trump, Elon and GOP. So — I’m asking honestly — what’s the point of this party anymore?

None of these Democrats should enjoy a moment's peace. Cortez Masto (NV) Durbin (IL) Fetterman (PA) Gillibrand (NY) Hassan (NH) Peters (MI) Schatz (HI) Schumer (NY) Shaheen (NH) They've effectively just voted for Donald Trump's agenda without putting up a fight. Never let them hear the end of it.

Cloture has met the 60 votes to pass in the senate with the help of at least 9 Democrats: Schumer, Fetterman, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, Schatz, and Peters. They sold out our country to Trump and Elon. They're traitors to democracy.

This image displays a list of U.S. senators who support a particular issue or bill, with a total count of 60 supporters. Each senator's name is accompanied by their state abbreviation and, in some cases, a quote or comment. The list includes:

1. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada) – with a quote: "It would cause too many Americans to suffer."

2. Dick Durbin (Illinois)

3. John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) – with a partial quote: "I will never vote to shut the government down."

4. Kirsten Gillibrand (New York)

5. Margaret Wood Hassan (New Hampshire)

6. Gary Peters (Michigan)

7. Brian Schatz (Hawaii)

8. Charles E. Schumer (New York) – with a quote: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option."

9. Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire) (grayed out, possibly indicating a different status or emphasis)

Each senator is represented with a small portrait on the left, and the text is formatted with bold headings and lighter subtext. The list appears to be part of a political report or legislative tracking document.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

At a time when the Social Security Administration is grossly understaffed, Trump plans to lay off up to 50% of its employees. Outrageous. This will make it HARDER for Americans to get the services they need. This is clearly a step toward the privatization of Social Security.
