Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

More of this, please.

I absolutely don't want Senate Dems to cave, but some key things: 1. If they do, this gets kicked back over to the House, which has to vote on it again since it would differ from their own version...which I think only runs thru 11/21? 2. That presumably means having to swear in Grjalva.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

Why does the House, the larger of the two legislative bodies, not simply eat the Senate

This was true when I was younger. After a few decades, it ceased to be true. There are still days when I find absolute joy in writing, but there are probably an equal number where it is just a chore.

I am really hoping Amazon and Walmart have great Black Friday deals on pitchforks because they will absolutely sell out. Just like the Democrats are apparently about to do.

Every time I park next to a Cybertruck

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

sucks losing something useful & free that was already built &’paid for

The GOP's solution for high housing prices is a lifetime of servitude. This tracks perfectly.

omg

Newsom is preaching truth here. And I hope he continues, and I hope he keeps getting on Sunday shows and people's podcasts and everywhere else he can be.

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Judge Wolf moved to senior status in 2013 after serving as chief judge; his resignation does not leave a vacancy for the current admin to fill.

Water wet, Pope Catholic, woods full of bear poop, and …

Night of the Long Knives, in slow motion

I guess what I'm saying is keep this energy after SNAP comes back. We always have folks in our communities who need more food than they can afford

I hate to be this person, but none of these things are new. Hunger in America is not new. It's just starting to scale

The replies are brilliant.

I can hear Mike Johnson now: "I'm not familiar with that sign. I haven't seen it." (PS: The sign, which is hard to read in this photo, says "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting healthcare to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND.")

This is highly related to my main takeaway from my jury duty earlier this year: "beyond a reasonable doubt" for _every element_ of the crime charged is a HIGH STANDARD TO MEET in a jury trial, esp when the gov is doing all this. Every juror should be prepared to hold the government to that standard.

Imagine if there were a crisis somewhere in the world, instead of a crisis just a few feet away.

“Sandwich guy” tells me it was “heartening” to get so much support from his fellow Washingtonians but that he’s “not comfortable” with the “hero” narrative. I asked him if he thought DC residents were registering their dissent by finding him not guilty, he said “perhaps.”

Can we please give a medal to sandwich guy Sean Dunn's legal team? Here's how they opened their case: “He did it. He threw the sandwich.” And the U.S. government “turned that moment, a thrown sandwich, into a criminal case. A federal criminal case charging a federal criminal offense.”

SHE’S COMING FOR YA BOVINO

In wealthy Charlotte 'burb Huntersville, the Republican candidates for non-partisan town council thought they were clever by posting signs calling themselves the conservative 4. All 4 were the lowest vote getters out of nine candidates.

this is key context for the arrests all over the country: your government is using your tax dollars staging a raid to make propaganda at risk of everyone I the line of fire, and that's everyone

Jeanine Pirro tried to make an example of Sean Dunn. She ended up delivering a hero to Washington, D.C. www.huffpost.com/entry/dc-san...

Has anyone asked Jake Tapper for his reaction?

In Wake County NC, this week's nonpartisan local elections were overwhelmingly won by candidates who had been endorsed by the Democratic Party. One loser said “Many people told me they had supported me in the past but would not vote for me this year for one reason: I am a registered Republican.”

This thread is worth reading in full.

I've already read several takes from people (men) complaining that Mamdani's acceptance speech was too "angry" and I am guessing that a lot of women out there are saying "Welcome to our world."

great report here. my argument against the democrats is only for the geriatric ones who need to sit down and shut their wee naggies—go fishing or golfing or play with their great, great, grandchildren. anything except trying to run the country between emergency visits to the bloody toilet.

Future RINO Fetterman

Never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake.

Katyal is merciless. He is embarrassing Alito’s fanciful hypos and Alito is getting mad. But Katyal is unfazed and instead going in for the kill. Wow. Well done.

Yeah this one might be the winner! LOL.

It’s gonna take a legal mind of greater heft than Kavanaugh possesses to best Neal Katyal on constitutional interpretation. Enter Justice Alito with endless, detailed, reality-defying hypos.

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

Please someone leak a recording of this call

Label should be "Rude (accurate)"

The Solicitor General of the United States is giving a miserable, flailing performance right now that would probably be a losing effort in a high school debate tournament. This in in front of the Supreme Court.

they want to get rid of early and mail-in voting because their entire midterm strategy relies on foreign governments making bomb threats targeting democrat leaning voting locations

Honestly, this was my favorite news of the night.

Or Texas.
