Both parties brace for a 'long conflict' as government shutdown hits two-week mark At the two-week mark, Republicans and Democrats are bracing for a long government shutdown, with both parties seeing more upside in persisting with their conflicting demands.

Um. Excuse me? This is the GOP shutdown. They could end this right now. They hold both houses, the White House and the fucking Supreme Court. So lose me with this shit. NBC is trash.

Even when you’re not shocked by it (because, hello? *gestures widely*), it’s still deeply disturbing to read these messages and the pure, unapologetic hatred that lives in these people’s hearts.

A thread if you have a minute….

Trib ed board stamping its foot screaming, “No! We want a pony! It’s not fair we can’t have a pony!”

Get. Them.

I’m sure these fine GOPers will act with haste to clean up their houses in the same way as they forced others to do when they were outraged by folks quoting Charlie Kirk.

They’re a bunch of Call of Duty cosplay performance artists. They are running out of juice. No one wants this here.

That was some of the wildest shit I’ve seen in all my decades of watching. Incredible.

I’ve been pulling for the Jays but I don’t know. This Mariners team is on lock. Wow. Just wow.

Ugh. This sucks.

Right? Kinda shocked that everyone is hating ICE. Nextdoor usually feels like MAGA Boomerville to me. Don’t get me wrong. Everyone should despise those goons, but….

RIP Tony.
One of the best human beings you’ll ever meet .

Don’t look away.

When this is all over we are going to need a special commission to investigate who these ICE ”agents” are, how many are Proud Boys, Jan 6ers, 3 per centers, etc? The lawlessness of this organization needs to be documented so that we get it under control such that it can’t happen again.

C’mon, Jamelle, we all know that facts ruin vibes! Sally’s imaginary world doesn’t let pesky details get in the way of what she’s feeling.

I’m still trying to understand what I’m seeing. Football. IU. Number 3. In Cignetti we trust? This all feels very surreal.

Saturday shout out to all coffee loving anti-fascists

If you aren’t anti fascist, you’re pro fascist. I don’t make the rules.

Andrew Vaughn. Make this make sense.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

At least they can’t pretend to be anything other than the ghouls they are anymore.

Such a good dude….

I’ll chip in for the ticket…

This could unelected Abbott.

Is she all trusting but concerned again?

Hard to argue with this!

‘Car Brain’ Is Making the US Unhealthy and Dangerous. EVs Won’t Fix It. A trio of new books argue that we need to confront the full range of costs that car-based living has imposed on our cities, our health and our society.

Cars. Ruin. Everything.

Forced to tolerate this twice a week at a recurring appointment where I have no choice.
