I just called and left messages for Arizona Senators Kelly (D) and Gallego (D) telling them that if they cave without a guarantee of ACA subsidies they are going to lose their entire base in one fell swoop.

Sitting here watching the Lions and Commanders on Fox. The announcer just informed us they would be speaking with #FFELON during the 3rd quarter. I immediately turned it off.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: I’m out walking my dogs. A guy across the street is walking his dog. The guy suddenly yells at the dog & kicks him. Real hard. I yelled at the guy, he yelled at me and moved on. Fuck anyone who hurts or physically abuses a dog. Or any animal. Fuck people who harm animals.

President Biden and Governor Beshear say hello! (President Biden is doing well and I told him you all said hi!) Omaha is doing great things y'all! Proud and honored to be here! @nebraskadems.bsky.social @janekleeb.bsky.social

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social sums up the current state of income inequality in the US. "Elon Musk is doing great, riding an AI investment wave to unimaginable wealth." One of his laid off employees "Scott Boggs is reduced to pleading for a job with an AI bot." www.thebulwark.com/p/let-them-e...

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

@adamparkhomenko.bsky.social FTW! "Somewhere, Marie Antoinette is whispering, 'tone it down'." 🤣

Who are these freaks cheering on this demented fool?

Psst! Hey, Senate Dems, now would be a great time to demand concessions from GOP leadership. Don’t end the shutdown unless they fully fund ACA, reverse the shutdown firings, undo some of the DOGE cuts, and have a vote to release the Epstein files. You have leverage after last night. Use it.

Is it just me, or is Mike Little Johnson finding it harder and harder to round up sycophants to stand behind him while he claims to not know of something the press has just asked him about, and then lies on top of that?

Big tent, indeed! A Muslim Democratic Socialist wins in NYC, and as @jenrubin.bsky.social points our this morning, in Sherrill and Spanberger, 2 "moderate women with national security backgrounds won the governorships of two populous states with a combined total of approximately 3.5 million votes"

This is hilarious! Godfrey FTW!

@thetnholler.bsky.social, I just followed @michaelafortn.bsky.social and @michaelabarnett.bsky.social. Thanks for the heads-up. I encourage others to do so as well.

Excellent post this morning (as usual) from @kmezdoesit.bsky.social on the "performative neutrality" of Stephen A. Smith. "It’s easier to say 'both sides are bad' than to learn why one side is trying to dismantle democracy." www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stephen-a-...

My Chinese neighbors don’t speak a bit of English, and are incredibly nice people. I think it is “totally reasonable and acceptable“ to prefer living next door to them than anyone who is maga and supports this authoritarian regime.

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.

Heretic Coffee in Portland, Oregon has announced that starting Nov 1st they will provide breakfast to those in the community who will be facing hunger due to SNAP benefits not being sent out in November. "we know it’s not much, but we’ll do our best to keep you fed" - Heretic Coffee #Pinks

“We’re really talking about going back to Jim Crow South.” @abreezeclayton.bsky.social

Lion’O Messy FTW!

Check out @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social's post this morning on the elite that enabled Hitler, and the consequences they faced at Nuremberg. "the international military tribunal had convicted 19 of 22 high-profile Nazi leaders and hanged 10 of them." www.americaamerica.news/p/gold-greed...

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

Holy Crap! @newsunderground.bsky.social with a peek under the covers of the latest regime dictate. "The raids provide spectacle; the memorandum provides structure. One is visible, the other procedural...make resistance administratively impossible." www.lincolnsquare.media/p/the-chilli...

I always feel hopeful after reading a post from @oliviaoftroye.com. Today is no different. "Belief in the people who keep this country afloat when its leaders fail it. Belief in the quiet, relentless goodness that power can’t buy or bulldoze." www.livingitwitholiviatroye.com/p/the-people...

Bruner - "Questions about whether our family would have access to vaccines, quality education, basic health care, and foundational constitutional freedoms we took for granted run on repeat through my head."

Great read this morning from @kmezdoesit.bsky.social on the affects of political apathy, with a few good chuckles thrown in as well. "When people on the left sit out, the right throws a parade. Apathy always helps the side that depends on it most." www.lincolnsquare.media/p/the-psycho...

So no terrorism then?
