As someone who got some brief help through a rough patch with food stamps in the early 90s, I can tell you it’s easier to have a job. Unless the job is one from one of Trump’s donors that don’t pay a living wage. God I hate these people.

The bigger fight? Buddy, I die without health care and your pals in the Senate β€” none of whom will ever go without access to lifesaving medical care β€” told me they were gonna fight so my premiums don't go up 50%. And then they folded.

I will pay good money to a fundraiser that lets me take a swing (or two) with a sledgehammer at whatever monstrosity he manages to erect.

As a writer and a Democrat, I'm used to being demoralized.

Decided to take a Xanax to calm down a bit even though I won’t be able to fucking afford them anymore thanks to Senate Dems.

So who’s primarying @markwarner.bsky.social ? I want to get in line to support them.

Kaine was just re-elected. It’s about primarying Warner, who’s up next year. If he can’t get Kaine on board, then he needs to go. We need to get ruthless because obviously they won’t.

Kaine's Northern Virginia office: 9408 GRANT AVENUE, SUITE 202, MANASSAS, VA 20110. Sounds like he needs some visits tomorrow.

Fuck you. If you vote for this I will never vote for you or anyone else in the senate now. I’ll leave the fucking ballot blank. I will spend my fucking life working to replace you.

I do and I’m happy to. I’m ready to riot right now, I’m too fucking old to be losing healthcare for a year while this dipshit dithers around

See, even perfect, tall, pretty gay white guys are human (I was rooting for Aaron, because screw perfect, tall, pretty gay white guys lol)

Nice to have my despising of Axios buttressed by Axios.

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

I've been trying to get this issue on the radar of my local association (I'm a Realtor/writer) to no avail. So many agents are using it, our MLS is forcing AI tools onto agents, and most of them shrug it off because they say it's inevitable. A lot of people are going to find their asses bitten.

I've been to my fair share of DC political panels. This is the first time I've ever watched a recording of one and thought "Fuck, I wish I'd seen this live."

I don't think that will be the median voter sentiment but it will definitely be the median pundit sentiment.

I’m three hops away from Mohammed Bin Salman and two or three from Ferdinand Marcos. And I’m just a gay white guy from Kentucky who’s lived in DC for a long time. Three hops is insanity.

I'm not sure I've ever laughed this hard before at a Survivor vote out. #Survivor49

In a two-person debate she’d probably still place fifth.

Straub's Shadowland was a hugely important book for me as a kid (and has actually held up in re-reading, which isn't always the case for that era). Thanks for sharing this, can't wait.

It’s amazing how quickly and completely the Washington Post has trashed its position as a prestigious publication.
