Spread the word! I think this is like the ACA astroturfing in 2010. Back then, few people heard of this Koch bros, and thought I was a radical to suggest a connection. Keep talking about it with your peeps bc it'll be in their awareness as the details become clearer.

Thanks for sharing. On a positive note, I'm relieved SO MANY people see what I see they do. Dishonest reporting is an understatement. I grew up with the NYTs and then subscribed so I know that THEY KNOW BETTER, and this is intentional. Now would be a good time to cancel in protest. I did in '22.

Easy- you can get just the puzzles, that's what I do! They used to be $20 but the NYTs raised the price to $30. I renewed- it's necessary for my sanity.

Any chance you can gift this article? I was a lifelong NYTs reader but unsubscribed in protest of their dishonest reporting ahead of the'22 election.

There are a few MAGAs in my orbit, and I try to explain to them that they are being used by people with an ulterior agenda.

Congrats! I did Thomas the 2022 election approached, and even though they've been a lifelong presence, I don't miss them at all.

I believe it's called "greenwashing," when a company wants to appear as if they are onboard with saving the planet.

To this day I'll never understand how the press strives to make meaning of R's gibberish, yet glosses over the complete paragraphs in which the D's capably explain their ideas. W is a shining example, versus Whitehouse.

100% in agreement. What should be coming out of the White House is: "We have a lot of work to do and that includes fixing SCOTUS. We can't do that without control of the House, Senate & WH so get off your asses and motivate the masses. I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message."

The Philadelphia Inquirer makes the right call:

With DT's, "lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering" he "demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy & unfit for office."

"The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump."

Myshkin's Saturday is going to be well spent. He's got plans to walk around the garden, then survey a neighbor's garage if he's lucky to find one open, ignore all the noisy barking dogs, tip us off when he needs a catnip refresh (he's a stoner), and of course take some naps. Lots to do!

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

I'll add a fifth if you'll permit me. We have to rally behind the next generation of leaders who can communicate effectively, bringing more people into general consensus. Whether change can happen quickly, or is a longer slog, having clear goals is essential to getting 1-4 accomplished.

Exactly! I'm a provider (acupuncture), and I can attest to the fact that Medicare Advantage doesn't pay- they are extremely creative about it. Fo one person, we finally got Cigna to pay - almost two years later, and it's not a lot, but turns out the check bounced!

We've turned this corner with our beloved Myshkin. For all the situations that have no words, this is the very worst. Savor the time you have left, of course you will.

I think he's going to find an excuse not to show. But I can dream: Faux News & the other MAGA outlets gleefully discuss Biden's"cognitive" challenges ad nauseum, so their heads will explode when they hear him speak 🍿🍿🍿😂!
