I wonder if any other mid-term voters have received their 2027 health insurance enrollment. The current system is unsustainable. For a silver plan for two people, ours went up from $3,252 to $3,753/month! That's without stepping foot into a doctor's office. That is a %15+ increase!

Orange County deputies form skirmish lines along the street, separating pro-democracy protesters from a pro-Trump group calling for the return of Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last shah.

JD Vance at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, met by pro‑democracy protesters. Vance, of course, was routed in and out well away from the public. A Handmaid watches as deputies form a corridor for elites leaving. The imagery is very Gilead.

The spirit of love, joy, community, and peace unfolding between World Cup visitors and Americans feels bigger than the moment—it may be a defining cultural and historic inflection point for our world.

Nighttime military exercises in Pasadena & Long Beach this week included helicopters, simulated gunfire, and explosions until 2am—with little notice. Why run drills in dense areas? I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but the lack of transparency is troubling and raises doubts about Hegseth’s motives.

It is telling that the administration and the MAGAs don't even try to explain the dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) buoys other than they want a "nimbler approach". WTaF?? Research and monitoring needs more data points, not less. Climate-change-deniers running the show.

While the Laos cave rescue is certainly amazing and interesting news, why is it plastered wall to wall on US news sites? Any updates on the Iran blockade/negotiations is either in tiny print or non-existent. Pretty sure that this story affects more of the US and the world.

I see that a leading Democratic candidate for Wisconsin governor is running on the platform of "defund and abolish police". Astounding. How'd that work for you last time? Defunding ICE is certainly a legit position. But attacking police funding is how you lose. Again.

The magnitude of Trump's (and his congressional minions) corruption continues to level up each week. What do you all think will happen AFTER the midterms when he has absolutely nothing to lose? ICE will be NICER? Conflicts of interest will be reduced? Illegal spending will end?

Our oligarch tech-bro overlords aren't heavily investing in Flock and other AI-fortified mass surveillance systems because of the subscription revenue from law enforcement users. That's not enough money to make it interesting. The big money is the behavioral data.

This triangulated with behavioral data that they already harvest with "free" map apps, social media platforms and intimate details surreptitiously collected from AI-chat can be leveraged in many nefarious ways.

Because Trump has lowered American's foreign policy to match the transactional nature of Russia, China and others, I wouldn't be surprised if he let China take over Taiwan in exchange for Xi Jinping influencing Iran to open the strait.

Whatever - he's going to rebuild the East Wing in his disgusting architectural style. When the MAGA-cult breaks apart, and serious government returns, we're just going to tear anything down that he built and rebuild them in an architectural style that fits America and ALL Americans.

Seeing the room go cheerful when T appeared at the WH Correspondents’ Dinner was uncomfortable, given the administration’s record—especially its hostility to the free press. Media “sane‑washing” after the latest incident feels inevitable; condemning violence shouldn’t obscure broader failures.

Even many left-of-center folks in California feel that the California Coastal Commission has too much authority. While it certainly has been a force for good in preserving our coastline and natural habitats, they haven't been able to strike the right balance and need some checks and balances.

We should already be planning for what comes after the Trump cult implodes. MAGA caused so much damage because it spent four years preparing and then moved quickly. The pro‑democracy movement, meanwhile, does not appear to be working toward a coherent plan for rebuilding.

I’m seeing progressives argue the path to winning is moving ever further left. That ignores reality: moderates are core to the coalition. Former Republicans like me want to work with Dems—but not be taken for granted. Broad coalitions win; purity loses.

Really tough talk, TACO-man. Threaten to annihilate, then submit to a plan far worse than before you started the war. You demanded that Iran must open the strait. They don't. You got nothing, you little petulant toddler!

Trump agreed with the 10 point plan to pay "war reparations"! So that is capital V - victory? dictionary definition: "compensation in money or materials payable by a defeated nation for damages to or expenditures sustained by another nation as a result of hostilities with the defeated nation."

Does anyone else have a visceral reaction when Pete Hegseth shows up on their screen? When he declares victory when they clearly capitulated only amplifies my gag reflex. "Peace for our time!" Neville Chamberlain - 1938.
