Dear Diary, The news says prices are going to go up fast. I've resolved to only purchase essentials for the foreseeable future, preferably from local sources. We'll see how my budget fares.

I've learned that once we elect people into the federal senate and house, the people have NO power to remove them until their term is up. Only Congress itself can expel a member. No wonder people running are willing to say anything to get elected. It's the only remaining secure job in this country.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

We're not just a fickle ally or erratic partner now. The US is a full-fledged all-in member of the alliance of authoritarian regimes in the world today, and particularly w/ Russia. Forget NATO, it's more like DC is now Belarus w/ nukes. Democracies need to act accordingly and start doing it rapidly.

While home insurance costs skyrocketed in FL, raising premiums 200% for some and canceling policies for others, insurance companies claimed poverty due to impacts of severe hurricanes. Except a new study shows they were diverting huge profits to shareholders and affiliates while gouging consumers.

Dear Diary, I recently visited Florida. It was in the mid-80s (f) every day. I returned to snow and am very glad of it. I would not want to live in eternal summer. When January is too hot, you know you're doomed.

"For the Democratic Party to redefine itself as a force for change, and not just as the custodian of the status quo, it needs fundamental shifts in how it relates to working people in the U.S. There is time to do so before the midterms of 2026." -Asli Aydintasbas, visiting fellow, Brookings Inst.

Just spitballing, but what if certain people fed all of Trump's voice recordings into AI and then used it to make calls demanding people do things that they want? Who would know it wasn't Trump calling? Sort of voice forgery, if you will.

Dear Diary, the MAGA Overlord and his pet, Musky, moved into the White House recently, I hear. Our local grocery store is limiting egg sales to two-cartons-per-customer. It's ten degrees outside. I’m entertaining myself by blocking anything Facebook suggests to my feed; at least a dozen a day.

2/ but decided it would be better to lock myself in now than wait, only to discover I would have to wait longer (or would not be able to collect at all). As a result, my monthly payment is over 10% less than it might have been if I had waited. This is one way the election has directly impacted me.

Say, if the fed decides to withhold my tax money from people suffering from disasters, can I just give my tax money straight to the people and skip the middle man(fed)? Seems reasonable to me. I'd even be saving tons of administration costs...

Dear Diary, I got the annual “rate increase” from Comcast and my basic cable increases 9.33% while my discount for autopay drops from $5/month to $2. It might be time to drop cable entirely. I don’t watch it a lot but $83+ a month for the Colbert Late show is awfully steep.
