Official statement from @jamestalarico.bsky.social on shutdown negotiations

so, is there no emergency procedure for the rest of the senate dems to come together and usurp Schumer? maybe they could just lock him in an office for awhile or something.

there is no force on earth, not even the grandest wealth and state power over others, that is more of an influence on senate dems thinking than vacation plans

For what it's worth, I have proposed an Article V work around: create nationally-elected at large senators that would equally dilute all other states and force the institution to consider public will. But it's telling that I have no Senate cosponsors. casten.house.gov/imo/media/do...

we gotta make these book signings completely unprofitable for the hosts and publishers. (not that fetterman wasn't already looking for his chance to cave to the GOP, of course.)

Zohran Mamdani: “I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I imposed sharia law 35 minutes ago”

ohhh shit, that tracks. god forbid our democratic representatives suffer even the slightest inconvenience!

so, if the news of the dems' deal to end the shutdown is accurate, what are the odds that the republicans won't even follow through and hold a vote on the ACA subsidies anyway

I don't know why people assume Axios is accurate?? They keep being wrong about this stuff over and over lol Maybe Dems will cave, I don't know, they've certainly done it before, but an Axios story is not evidence that they will IMO lol

"6-7"?! Boy I say boy you gen alpha kids cant be doin' that! Your signifiers need signs boy! You've laid a rhetorical claim to an empty space son! You're creatin' a nihilistic dialectic! Your broccoli hairs obfuscatin' some much needed communication! Find some MEANIN', kid!

apropos of nothing, Axios sounds like the name of a news website that Lex Luthor would spin up for the sole purpose of running the Daily Planet out of business.

there needs to be a way to block specific contacts from the android sharing menu because every time it pops up I'm terrified of accidentally sending something to my boss

has there been any instance of musk uplifting a journalist for writing particularly sycophantic article about him? otherwise, idk why they keep trying this.

my favorite public bathroom hands washing story involves a guy coming out of a stall where he was loudly pooping, walking over to the sink and turning it on, cupping his hands and drinking from them, and then leaving, sink still on

every sunday, from pulpits in megachurches across america, white evangelicals cry out about some imaginary persecution of christianity. but i can’t stop thinking about the pile of rosaries collected by a janitor at a border crossing or the priest turned away at the gates of the detention camp.

Palestinians have long known the true nature of the New York Times. Unfun fact: the NYT's Jerusalem Bureau is in yet another stolen Palestinian home. The NYT bought it from the Israelis who stole it. The rightful Palestinian owner was a journalist himself. mondoweiss.net/2015/12/repo...
