If I was cynical I'd think those senators were trying to coverup something really bad in their phone records that Jack Smith found.

Earl Grey tea bag

I'll see your mid afternoon meh and raise you a tea, Earl Grey, hot.

I mean there's multiple things wrong with Trump's statement but primarily the government is still shutdown. Anyway, probably going to be a ATC strike soon.

Did Marjorie Taylor Greene promise to read out the names on the Epstein list on the House floor or did she say she might read out the names? I can't remember.

What if we had one single universal risk pool?

He should paint it vantablack in protest.

Scotus in shock sensible ruling scandal!

I'll wait for the legal eagles to let us know how pardoning people not listed works.

depsidase: cubosh: realization: the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs was technically the highest ratio of killing birds to one stone in earths history 1800oxycodone: "average rock kiss 2 birds" factoid actually just statistical error. average rock kills 0 birds. chixulub georg, which killed 3/4 of all life, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

a cartoon girl in a blue dress is kneeling in a field holding a bag Alt: Chuck Schumer runs up to Lucy and she moves the ball out of the way.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov just saying this seems to happen to you a lot when you cave in to Republican demands.

Really hoping ICE haven't been issued winter gear.

Nytimes recipe article suggesting caviar pie at a time when people are starving and lining up at food banks

I mean, it's a few ounces of caviar, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?

Nytimes giving a lesson in reading the room.

This is great and all but some of us were counting on the blessed relief from being annihilated by an alien space probe.

It's like one of those Escher drawings.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

And then Johnson will bring the House into session to vote too right?

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Officials Demand States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

just absolute cartoon villains except that it's real life and real people are suffering

This is exactly what they’re proposing and the absence of a risk pool will cause the catastrophic collapse of the healthcare system and a large number of unnecessary deaths and untreated illness

Congratulations, that's more expensive than $2.97 for 18.

Back in 2017, Trump revealed, in a friendly interview with the NYT, that he literally did not understand how health insurance works. The NYT editors bailed him out instead of following up. I wrote about it then, and I still think about it all the time: www.commonwealmagazine.org/man-who-knew...

So he wants the Washington football team named after him? I don’t know, man, the Washington Thinskins doesn’t sounds that cool.

The left support sex workers, the right support Nazis, they're not the same.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Ordinarily I'd say yes but ordinary left the building a long time ago.

Makes you wonder how bad they are right?

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.
