How long are they giving Cornyn to get there? And notice how his flight wasn't one of the ones canceled

Fun fact, let’s say Thune does give Senate Dems a vote and doesnt whip against ACA subsidies, Speaker Johnson has no intention of ever holding a vote on it

"A promise of a vote on healthcare"

Yes, color me shocked.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis, & then it's another day:

Being against kings is hating America?

So these guys hated America?

In 1874, Mary Ewing Outerbridge brought home America’s first tennis set — and customs agents seized it.

She got it back, built a court on Staten Island, and changed women’s sports forever.

History turns on curiosity, persistence, and a little nerve.

Barrett turns to Fox News, rather than the docket, to explain her silence in key rulings Justice Barrett wrote nothing in the racial profiling shadow docket ruling, but had something to say on Fox News Sunday. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Emma Goldman mugshot from 1901

After President McKinley's assassination in 1901, anarchist Emma Goldman was arrested & then released because she had nothing to do with the assassination.

In its War on Anarchy, the US denaturalized Goldman in 1909.

And ... 10 years later, she was deported in 1919.

YA KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED AN INFANT WHO CANT BE VACCINATED AGAINST WHOOPING COUGH? OTHER PEOPLE BEING VACCINATED AGAINST WHOOPING COUGH

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.)

Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact:
- White House
- Senate
- House
- Scotus
- OMB (to the hilt)
- Every regulatory agency

They're in command. It's on them.

Who cares about the Hatch Act?

There are no guardrails.

If you're wondering why they don't go to court with their high paid lawyers for an easy win, it's because this allows Google to bribe Trump.

All the big players are way over their skis on AI investment and are sure they will need a bailout at some point. It's 2009 but for tech instead of housing

How Bad Will A Shutdown Be For National Parks? Rural communities could lose hundreds of millions of dollars a day, and that’s before mass layoffs

Past shutdowns have resulted in $36 million/day of damage to park infrastructure alone. This one could be worse: open.substack.com/pub/wessiler...

Republicans control both houses of Congress and the executive branch. If there’s a shutdown, it is entirely their fault.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

If you’re not carrying anything into work, I don’t trust you.

Huh...

At the same time that they are pushing to require proof of citizenship to vote, that proof being a passport or birth certificate...

At the same time they are trying to end birth right citizenship, making the birth certificate invalid for proving citizenship...

What a weird coincidence

Any support you give to AI, you're helping destroy humanity. AI is not human. The rise of AI is anti-human. It's not the AI doomers, it's outlets who promote the use of AI with the tone of "this is neat what the kids are doing"

What gets me is that the suspect *wanted* others to think that the shooter was liberal:

“When another user suggested that the killing of Mr. Kirk would lead President Trump to send the National Guard to Utah, the suspect replied, ‘in a red state??? nah CLEARLY the shooter was from california.’”

There's plenty of context. You just haven't done the work to find it. That's on you, Sal.

I guess offering, "I meant to say 'Let's kill some hobos!' won't save your job.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Honestly a great reminder of how we take the visual coherence of sports television direction and camerawork for granted to see a rare instance where they completely fuck it up

Hi folks. We've seen this before during the Cold War.

And, remember, in Kent v. Dulles (1958), the U.S. Supreme Court held that American citizens have a fundamental right to travel.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

It reminds me of the "you're racist for pointing out racism" nonsense.

Lego.

I sometimes catch myself on this one so I'll try to say "I mean, Lego bricks"
