I looked for some lunchtime escapist tv. Found that the flawed-but-functioning worlds of period British dramas on PBS now feel less stressfully relevant than Andor or The Last of Us.

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid. While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts...

Nearly 600 voting lawsuits were filed from 2021-2024, but two-thirds focused on just 9 battleground states. Three states saw none. When most of the country is ignored, voter suppression goes unchecked. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Dear Zaslov, No matter how deeply you hide John Oliver on Max, I’ll find the new episode. No matter how loudly you push Bill Maher, I’ll never watch it. Also, GFY. —A Subscriber

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year. Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%. Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO. Scrap the cap.

Great video about the post office, and the value of public works generally. Especially in a time of aggressive chainsaws. Before accepting “privatization” as a good idea, call your cable company for a customer service issue. Remind yourself of where “privatization” gets you.
