He won in 2014, which is the race referenced here. And then promptly rubber-stamped Trump’s anti-choice judges, as. Mark Udall warned he would.

I don't think there's a direct public policy answer to this, but making it easier to live close to family is a good idea (for this and other reasons), and I think we can achieve that with more affordable housing and incentivizing remote work so people can live near support networks instead of jobs.

Here's the thing. I am a lucky person and pay a fair bit in taxes. I can think of no better use for my tax dollars than feeding children, because I think all people are equally deserving of basic humanity.

Kimmel and Comey Highlight the Trump Regime's Limitations Their desire for authoritarian abuse is bottomless, their ability to carry it out is not

The Trump regime is having trouble prosecuting James Comey on frivolous charges, and hasn’t been able to get charges against Letitia James.

They couldn’t keep Kimmel off the air.

Their desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Hurting people yes, but bluffing a lot too.

look if Dolly Parton needs you to pray for her then you find a scrap of floor and get to fucking work

If you're paying for it via Medicare/Medicaid or other insurance, they can stop coverage of hospice care. There are a mess of regulations around it and it varies by state, so I'm not even going to try to guess what would apply here.

I knocked doors over GOTV weekend for Abigail Spanberger in 2018, and apparently now I'm on the dreaded volunteer recruitment list. In the past 4 days I've dodged one call and politely explained to 2 other field organizers that I wish them the best of luck, but I no longer live anywhere near VA.

Proof that more political pollsters should become lawyers. Can't incorporate questionnaire comments from 6 different coalition partners and 5 different consultants, some directly contradicting each other, across 3 separate document versions? Skill issue.

I never had a big following on Twitter, but I ended up on some lists/starter packs that circulated a ton around the election. And my solemn promise to all 7.8k of you is that I will never stop being weird or subjecting you to all my takes about music, sports, and extremely niche video games.

Fiber and water makes all the difference imo. I didn't have the wisdom to pregame, but it certainly seems like a good idea.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

legitimately the most country and western thing about Zach Bryan is that he is reflexively, militantly anti-cop.

nothing more country than that.

He does seem preoccupied with this lately.

I don't think the end is imminent, but I suspect he's not in good health and knows it. (My suspicion is congestive heart failure, which could kill him tomorrow or a decade from now, no way of knowing.)

I know the hypocrisy charges don’t mean anything, but Jake Tapper would have shit bricks if Joe Biden tried to get away with an interview via text. He’d be out here screaming about how clearly his aides were covering up his dementia.

Congratulations! (I'm hosting a baby shower November 1 so clearly it's an auspicious day.) Hope you have a wonderfully happy wedding day and an even happier marriage.

I've done two productive things today and now my motivation has entirely disappeared. Which is suboptimal when I have almost 5 hours on campus until my next class and a bunch of reading that I need to do.

After I got my undergrad degree, I went off to DC to work in political polling for a decade before going back to my home state and law school. If all goes according to plan, I’ll be 36 when I graduate and pass the bar next year!

Okay, I've fully come around on the Suzerain Rizia DLC. I realize it may not be the most realistic, but I adore playing Romus as reformer of the monarchy, peaceful reuniter of the peninsula, and disaster bisexual.

Plus, I just got the Two Birds for Beatrice achievement, which is my new favorite.

A federal judge appointed by Dear Leader himself, no less

Again, patriotism isn’t about loving America as is, it’s about believing it can be something better. Also, anyone who says my grandfather fought in a segregated unit at Normandy for fascism can take a hike.

All I know is that the photo of the guy protesting ICE and holding an American flag while being sprayed by tear gas goes hard as fuck.

Vance is responding to a purported quote from Joy Reid THAT SHE DIDN’T SAY.

Left is Vance quote-tweeting a BS MAGA account. Right is my transcription of the video. She’s talking about HER PARENTS’ EXPERIENCE OF RACISM NOT HERSELF. SHE’S QUOTING HER MOTHER.

Vance didn’t listen / doesn’t care.

The subconscious belief that Black people being successful in the US isn’t a product of their talent and hard work, but something bestowed upon them by white people, is shockingly common among white people. They don’t usually say it outright, but this comes pretty close. It’s horrifyingly racist.

I’ve heard rumors that he’s no longer sober. I have no personal knowledge, but this kind of crash out doesn’t exactly dispel said rumors.

It doesn’t excuse his other asshole behaviors, especially the way he’s treated women he’s dated, but I do hope if that’s a factor he can get sober again.

Very hard not to conclude that the Dem messaging strategy of focusing on healthcare has been highly successful at shaping public impressions of the shutdown fight so far despite being hated on here to the point that major accounts were actively adopting GOP framing to attack it

Most American Jews say Israel has committed war crimes

I also think it’s good and agree that The Fate of Ophelia is a standout track. There’s 2-3 I could do without, but lots of good songs among the rest.

My extra-cushioned insoles and I are perfectly aware that my posts are worth nothing, thank you very much.

Also, I swear I knew the title of the first track is “The Fate of Ophelia” but just saw now that I screwed it up. Forgive me, Swifties, I need more caffeine and sleep.

12 tracks definitely helps! There are a few tracks I like on TTPD (“I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,” my anthem), but I basically never put the whole album on since too much of it is just meh. But I listen to several others all or mostly straight through and hopefully Showgirl will stick like that.
