Everyone clap for my long distance partner, who has to hang out on video call with me while I spend three hours trying to figure out what the hell is going on in the bass line of a song I want to learn.

Never mind the tabs I was going off of are wrong and evil

Would like to personally pout at Robby Takac for that 4-6-8-6-4 in Slide

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

On Monday, I will officially file my petitions to get on the ballot. But I want to take a second to highlight the work we’ve been doing to get here.

This is what a people-powered, community-focused campaign looks like: youtu.be/HUWZl22Pp3k

It’s the first of the month, a day that brings dread and uncertainty for so many struggling tenants.

And for the 2+ million New Yorkers in stabilized apartments, this month means another rent hike — the fourth in a row under this Mayor.

But change is coming.

Bro what the fuck is a “Slavic witch drone” I want one

MOTION FOR A STAY IN LIGHT OF LAPSE OF APPROPRIATIONS

The United States of America hereby requests to stay the entire case in the above-captioned case. 1. At the end of the day on September 30, 2025, the appropriations act that had been funding the Department of Justice expired and those appropriations to the Department lapsed. The same is true for the majority of other Executive agencies, including the Plaintiff. The Department does not know when such funding will be restored by Congress. 2. Absent an appropriation, Department of Justice attorneys and employees of the Plaintiff are prohibited from working, even on a voluntary basis, except in very limited circumstances, including "emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property." 31 U.S.C. § 1342. 3. Undersigned counsel for the Department of Justice therefore requests a stay of the entire case until Congress has restored appropriations to the Department. 4. If this motion for a stay is granted, undersigned counsel will notify the Court as soon as Congress has appropriated funds for the Department. The Government requests that, at that point, all current deadlines for the parties be extended commensurate with the duration of the lapse in appropriations—i.e., each deadline would be extended by the total number of days of the lapse in appropriations. 5. Opposing counsel has authorized counsel for the Government to state that they have no objection to this motion, provided that Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is scheduled to be filed on or after November 3, 2025. Therefore, although we greatly regret any disruption caused to the Court and the other litigants, the Government hereby moves for a stay of the entire case in this case until Department of Justice attorneys are permitted to resume their usual civil litigation functions.

When miscarriages become crimes 412 women faced criminal charges for pregnancy outcomes. This is what fetal personhood looks like.

Between June 2022 and June 2024, at least 412 people across the country have been charged for crimes related to their pregnancies.

These arrests show that, amid the conservative movement to enshrine rights to fetuses, being pregnant is not just a health status. Sometimes, it’s a criminal liability.

A real pleasure to sit down for an extended conversation on The View today. My thanks to the studio audience for the very warm welcome.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America. Also: More court pushback.

White House Uses Shutdown to Maximize Pain and Punish Political Foes

NEW: The Trump admin took steps on Wednesday to maximize the pain of the government shutdown, halting billions of dollars in green energy and infrastructure funds for Democratic-led states while readying a plan to lay off federal workers, perhaps in next day or two www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...

Opinion | The Real Stakes of the Shutdown President Trump is seeking to deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance. Senate Democrats are refusing to acquiesce.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“It is easy to lose sight of the real stakes” in this government shutdown, the editorial board writes. “President Trump is seeking to deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance, and Senate Democrats are refusing to acquiesce.”

Hnited States Court of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT September Term, 2025 No. 25-5303 1:25-cv-01362-PLF Federal Education Association, et al., Appellees V. Donald J. Trump, in his official capacity as President of the United States, et al., Appellants BEFORE: Millett, Pillard, and Garcia, Circuit Judges ORDER

BREAKING: It appears the DC Circuit "special panel" — motions panel — for October is Millett, Pillard, and Garcia (Obama, Obama, Biden). BUT, this could be something random because it's over three cases challenging Trump's federal employee union-busting effort.

Yom Kippur is a day of reflection, of forgiveness, of restoration. This year, may we all pray for a better, kinder, more peaceful future.

How the two-state solution became a “big, expedient lie” In a new book, Robert Malley, a veteran US peace negotiator, argues it is well past time to think beyond an idea he spent much of his career pursuing.

"If there's been a constant for the decades since I started working in the US government, it's been: At the end of the day, on this issue, the US is not prepared to put its foot down."

BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill

MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts.

BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

When food banks need bread, 900 home bakers answer the call A Seattle-area nonprofit group called Community Loaves donates home-baked bread and cookies to food banks in four states.

"It’s the opportunity for me to bake something and to share something with others in the community, where they don’t necessarily need to know who I am, but they know that there’s a community that loves and cares for them."

Community care is what will get us through.

The reference bible is cracking me up

I’m fighting for Eric Adams’ voters. Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his donors.

It makes me very happy that Frank Langdon’s addiction storyline is being handled in part by Noah Wyle and Patrick Ball (who is also in recovery) because I know it will be given the thoughtful and unsensational treatment it deserves.

Oops stayed up until 3am. Ao3 writers be putting Frank Langdon through the wringer and I am so here for it. Love it when everyone becomes obsessed with a character and then decides to hurt him in different ways 🥰
