Treasury secretary Bessent says we are bailing out Argentina because "stabilizing Argentina is America First"

Bailing out Argentina is America First but not paying the troops.

There is a holdover from the Obama era where people think technocrats could win and govern best and I feel like we should all let that go.

She seems fine as a governor but (1) doesn’t this open the door for that corrupt weirdo LePage to win gov again and (2) why (I know why) are Dems so damn determined to shut out charismatic younger challengers like Plattner?

Extremely bad news if true (and unlikely this reporter would run with it if not). The MMWR has been the earliest warning bell for outbreaks since it announced the first US cases, in 1981, of what was later identified as AIDS.

This will be a grievous shock to what remains of US public health.

Lecornu? Plus comme Retournu, non?

This moment ruled. Pulling for Seattle bc, as a Royals fan who lived the dark ages from 1986-2014, I want those Mariners fans to get the reward for their long wait

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

There’s a lady in our neighborhood that I see weekly but have never met. She wears a lot of tracksuits & faded ball caps, & most importantly, she walks like the hip hop dance teacher from Bob’s Burgers. Our name for her is Hip Hop Lady, & she is absolutely one of my favorite people on earth.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

It's ain't football but you can't drop a pass into double coverage much better than Chelsea Gray did to A'ja Wilson

He might want to talk to his head of HHS

Hopelessness of the intellect, vengefulness of the will

This is going to be a disaster for disaster response communications

These LV Aces are simply too much for the Mercury.

Today I learned that the collective noun for frogs is "army." Huh.

From now on I will be calling Mike Johnson pornomuppet

the president of the united states who has access to unprecedented levels of intel and up to the minute daily briefings is instead making statements based on fox news broadcasts from 2020 that his staff has convinced him is happening right now

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Dear President Obama, I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza." Palestinians have families, too. This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide. I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world. Love, Ms Rachel

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.
