One of the most significant moments of the 2026 cycle likely happened Tuesday night during the Ways and Means markup of the tax portion of Republicans' reconciliation bill. It got no attention at the time and little since, but it is wildly important. Here's what happened--

The same kind of folks who spent years complaining about masks that slowed the spread of disease are now wearing masks to facilitate the spread of fascism

Went for a mammogram today and 5 out of 7 patients wore a mask & one nurse was, too! I was amazed!

Went looking at homes in a rural, quiet area just for fun. Except the idea of unidentified people claiming to be ice could at any time invade your home without a warrant & without evidence puts a damper on that. Assume seizure of property by the gov’t is next, so what’s the point of buying?

“The final honor guard included Venezuelan, Kurdish, Egyptian and other migrants, as well as Muslims, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.” Wait until Trump hears about this.

Just to be clear, we reached the arresting-judges-and-deporting-US-citizens-without-due-process stage of the slide into authoritarianism today. And the citizens in question included a toddler and a child with cancer who needs treatment in the US.

I’d love to say #leopardsatemyface here, but this is not the kind of person who actually gives a sh*t about her constituents, so it’s no skin off her back.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

And when they are not able to deport American citizens, then they will imprison them, then eliminate them? Pretty obvious where they are going with this.

Seems like T doesn’t want to follow a judge’s order. That slope is getting even more slippery…

For my part, I do understand that huge swaths of people are being hurt. It is because of the mass destruction being forced on innocent people that I enjoy watching people suffer that did this to us & themselves.

We are heading into a major depression with leaders who are not interested in saving us. It makes sense if you understand T wanted to destroy the US economy and the US. T has been broadcasting this for years. Not sure why people didn’t know enough to take their 401k money out of the market.

People keep thinking this won’t happen, but you can easily see T sign up as VP to some pansy that will resign the second he takes office. Then T gets his 3rd term.

SIL commenting on her “amazingly healthy” brother who had a heart attack 2 years ago & how no one could have ever guessed he would have a heart attack. Not one mention of how many times he’s had Covid. SIL had it twice & she’s more careful than him, so there you go.

Update on the job search: I started a new gig this week that has good potential to become a permanent role. It is 100% remote so I am thrilled to be able to continue into my 6th year of full WFH. This is a huge reason we’ve been Novids. Yay!

How would someone entering college now know what field to study? Which fields will no longer exist when they graduate? I’m a planner & have no idea how to navigate the speed of this change. I’ve never been so happy to be within 10 years of retirement.

Who will you save? As we watch our once beloved nation crumble, I am looking to become an expat. I have my own obstacles as I try to get there. Much like self-care, we need to save ourselves first, then help others. The list is short. Family & trusted friends. It is a tiered, hierarchical list.

Good comment. However, his attack on the woke mind virus is a threat to anyone who thinks differently from him, obviously with specific emphasis on trans. And given his position as the presumptive POTUS, this is an incredible threat.
