I knew Fabian Basabe from gay bars in NYC in the early 2000s and am rather shocked to learn he’s a ‘straight’ married Republican lawmaker in Florida who voted for the Don’t Say Gay bills. thedailybeast.com/florida-re…

🚨🚨🚨BOOM: AOC DESTROYS Kevin McCarthy for the holding the national debt hostage and for suggesting Washington needs to “spend less.” “Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves,” AOC retorted. “Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich? Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?” She added. Let’s get this straight: The Republicans want nothing more than to pretend that the debt ceiling needs to be lifted to accommodate next year's budget. They frame it that way relentlessly, and sad to say, lazy journalists buy into their framing. The debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for all the spending the Republicans authorized in 2017 when they gave away a substantial chunk of the Treasury to their rich pals. So now the time comes that we need to pay the country's bills incurred in the last several years and now coming due. But we're a little short on cash since we gave rich people more money, so now it's time for disabled and retired citizens to pungle up, and single mothers living close to the bone have to forego SNAP benefits. Because Kevin McCarthy couldn't possibly ask mega billionaires to pay more. The middle class should no longer carry the majority of the tax burden and the tax breaks for the rich. Let them pay their fair share for a change. Now, McCarthy is trying to shift blame to DEMOCRATS. We know who’s FAULT this.

Very sad news today. Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode has passed. I knew Andy and considered him a friend. We crossed many of the same pathways as younger men . My heart goes out to his family, bandmates, and DM fans. RIP Fletch.

We’re saddened and shocked that Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode has died. Fletch was a warm, friendly and funny person who loved electronic music and could also give sensible advice about the music business.

Don't worry. My next novel isn't another near-future worryingly realistic eco thriller. It's an absurdist fantasy misadventure with slapstick, involving marmots plus cheerful nonbinding decapitations.

Two Black students were named valedictorian and salutatorian for West Point High School. But after the parents of two white students claimed a grade calculation error, the Mississippi school added their children as co-valedictorian and co-salutatorian. nyti.ms/35cTvlq
