This is infuriating. I’m a big fan and former office intern for Markey and it’s time for him to pass the torch. 80 year olds should be executing their succession plan, not running for re-election

My great uncles created a pre-fab home business in the ‘50s that employed hundreds if not thousands of people. They were Holocaust refugees from Czechoslovakia.

It rocks that it took the White House a year to figure out that driving up people’s healthcare spending for no reason by roughly 18million percent would be something they’d have to address politically

2 kids in daycare here in Baltimore will easily run you $3000/month

We worked hard on this and then a wave of Nuzzi/MTG/Mamdani news hit all at once. But if you’ve got time this weekend I really urge you to check out what we found here, and take a minute to let the scale of these operations sink in fully. It really feels insane to me.

I am genuinely convinced that one of the reasons it used to be thought that most people grew out of ADHD as adults was how common smoking was.

this dude rules

Thankfully my dad naturalized but this literally could be him. Born to refugees after WWII, emigrated to the US in 1949

I’m dying at the mention of Hunan Lion in @lioneltrolling.bsky.social’s When the Clock Broke. My family used to eat there all the time when I was a kid and we called it the “toilet bowl building” 😆 Don’t recall any Shakespeare performances…

Read The Fort Bragg Cartel

Extremely grateful that my kid is being taught the “old” method of learning to read

I’ve been thinking a lot about the parallels to strikes. Strikes cause a lot of pain to striking employees, that is built in. The Dems have zero preparation, concept of their goals, understanding of their opponents’ pain points, credibility from their base

There will be some "Wow you can't make these people happy" sentiment but what's really happening is the Dems are beginning to reap the consequences of not really believing in anything. Choreographed maneuvers, too clever by half talking points. People have just had it

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means. Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

BIPARTISAN COMMITTEE TO NEGOTIATE ON HEALTHCARE is absolutely the cherry on top. This is why people loathe the democratic party

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

The Jews are a stateless people. I believe it is a core part of our identity. My family lived near Munkacs which bounced between being Hungarian, Czech, Ukrainian…

Loudoun County, in northern Virginia, was the sign of apocalypse twelve months ago for Democrats. Most of the vote just came in. (AP estimates 79%.) Spanberger up 26%. (And Jay Jones up 15%.) Four years ago, McAuliffe won it by just 11% on his way to a 2% loss.

The photos in this Chicago Tribune piece… It's a quiet middle-class inner suburb, but these guys look like they're in Fallujah circa 2006. The uniforms indicate Border Patrol and its BORTAC "special operations" unit. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/31/c...

We will win.

The banality of evil.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US. Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight. He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

How about lead paint?!

At Tufts around 2008 there was a conservative student paper that would just print straight up racist “parody” songs around the holidays

Catholicism practiced in the pursuit of social justice is extremely powerful

This is lunacy: they had a health care plan, and they implemented it in H.R.1. It includes work requirements for Medicaid, and the cutting of ACA subsidies that will cause millions to lose health insurance. That was the plan! bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is why I truly don’t believe in community input into these types of projects 🤪

THEY ARE WEARING MASKS TO BE ANONYMOUS!! They are snatching people off the streets as anonymously as they possibly can

Adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments, crying and screaming, during a large overnight raid that has left tenants and neighbors shaken. https://cnn.it/4pPCXIt

As a white person in Baltimore city, this is comically stupid. White people *chose* to leave the city moron

This is spot on. A very important teaching from the Talmud (Jewish teachings) is that it is not your duty to finish the work, but you are not at liberty to neglect it. The work is long and you may not see the goal achieved in your lifetime but it is necessary.

The right's position on political violence has always been and will always be that it's wrong, unless it happens to people they don't like in which case it's hilarious and awesome

the "tax the billionaires" political refrain is Good Actually in part because it is a call for the people at the top to actually be constrained by rules informed by the public interest, a virtue that fingerwagging correctives about how much revenue such taxes would *really* generate doesn't address

a lot of bad-faith grifters are taking my words out of context just because i told jeffrey dahmer to "stay hungry," in writing, at his birthday party, that i was at.

NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history. According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.

Honestly, as a data privacy lawyer, I just have to laugh at the notion of a data breach affecting every single American. Free credit monitoring for all!!

the reason that the right believes that the left is entirely astroturf funded by USAID and USIP is that this is how their own institutions work

If "masked dudes jump out of unmarked cars to arrest people while telling onlookers to shut the fuck up and claiming liberals ruined the country" doesn't convince you that DHS needs to be eliminated as an organization, idk what can convince you.

What a scaredy cat loser!! I’ve lived in DC, currently live in *scary* Baltimore and my 3 year old is less of a wuss than this idiot.

We are really close to an awesome future with AI creating fake answers and evidence for security questionnaires that are created by a vendor management AI and analyzed and scored by another AI who then clears the creators of yet another AI agent to have access to sensitive systems.

I'll go a couple steps further: if this doesn't end with some kind of Truth & Reconciliation process where people like Noem end up in prison, it's inevitable that we'll be doing it all over again before long.

Judaism teaches that you have a moral obligation to save lives

Hear hear!!

“the party being led by jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly examine your childs genitals” is a true statement

I’m switching employers so enrolling in new insurance. I will be paying $700+ a month in premiums with a $1500 deductible
