This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

I'm sorry what? I was born with these bay leaves and so help me god I'll die with these bay leaves

It's not even noon yet and feds (specifically Border Patrol and BOP officers in this caravan with Bovino) have fired tear gas, pepper balls, and bean bag rounds at people in Little Village and Cicero.

Going to a friend’s birthday party. He insisted several times don’t bring gifts. Feels wrong. But will bring a card with a handwritten note. I’d be in technical compliance

The airlines has not cancelled my flight....yet.

Here's the low tech pastry cutter I use : www.crateandbarrel.com/oxo-good-gri...

Currant citrus zest scone. I tried 2 recipes, similar ingredients & flavor, difference is 1 uses food processor, and the other cuts the butter in by hand. #2 from Zuni Cafe is fluffier & my preferred one, do it by hand! 1. sugarspunrun.com/the-best-sco... 2. thegourmetgourmand.com/zuni-cafe-or...

Keep track of the victories when they come

In case you’re wondering how bad things are, we are getting calls from food pantries on military bases asking if we have any food we can share because they’re hungry.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

This is an all hands on deck moment to save health care. If you got a notice this month that your health insurance premium is going up by $500 or maybe even $1,000, send me your story: www.warren.senate.gov/health-care-...

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

Going to cook something instead of doomscrolling. Can't doomscroll when there's a sharp knife in my hands.

When I turned 55, I got junk mail from a cemetery. I have never gotten over it.

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court. Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

Isn't it funny how the same people that keep saying "Get over it he won," have absolutely lost their shit that someone won a Mayoral race in a city they don't even live in?

In case you haven’t heard: Legit food banks in your local area get the most food for your donated dollar. You can buy one can of beans or one bag of pasta with $1. They can buy double, triple, quadruple that for the same $1. So look into food banks, and consider setting up a monthly donation.

Not a fancy tool. I use for pie crust as well.

So much of baking can be done with electric tools. But there is something that happens when you do it by hand. One thing I will never do is knead bread dough with a machine. If you ever have a bad day, take it out on some dough. The best bread I ever made was in anger.

Appealing to the Court to hoard food stamp money. Well.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Oh, changing the time by one hour for Daylight Savings is messing with your sleep schedule? "Why is it dark at 5 p.m.," you ask? Frilled sharks live in such deep water that they never see the sun at all! You didn't think about THAT, did you? No, you only ever think about yourself.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

That’s before I reckon with the ethics of using a thing for ghost efficiency that is pretty societally devastating. And on a final personal note, I don’t want to become stupid before my time. I really don’t. I will keep mucking about so that I can keep mucking about, for as long as possible.

Women are dying of sepsis after being denied abortions. A conservative sect that wants to repeal women’s voting rights is growing and gaining national attention. *This* is the NYT’s contribution to conversations about women?

morning walk

Next step is the cover reveal. Not sure when that is but soon.

The Times interviewed dozens of migrant men sent to a prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration. Independent forensic analysts called the testimony credible and consistent and said the treatment met the U.N.’s definition of torture. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

Justice Jackson's move sounds bad, but read Steve first to understand what she did.

ICYMI: The New York Times is done with women

get in bitch we're destroying the west

Millennials coming over…

“Strange obsession with physical traits” ummm this is the ableism that 90% of people in the US practice out loud every day🤔

Is this stuff any good? I want a nonalcoholic option

My favorite Brooklyn based pie company is Four and Twenty Blackbirds. I have their pie cookbook, otherwise, this pie is $46. Un-gated recipe I'm making for Thanksgiving. It calls for a splash of cocktail bitters.

Making a list of appointments, commitments, and reservations I have to cancel if imminent commercial air travel doesn't pan out. Grrrrr

Steve Vladeck @stevevladeck.bsky.social agrees and explains. www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

/2 1. Real human beings will suffer from even a brief stay. 2. The government's position is transparently dishonest and in bad faith. 3. The Supreme Court has lost any benefit of the doubt. They have lost the mandate of the heaven that is the rule of law.

This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it. But most people won't believe that for several good reasons. /1

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Oh ho, I believe I have finally beat the time change disruptions to my sleep. This is my usual wake up time.

After posting this, I got an actual jury summons today. 😳
