Noting that I took a lot of abuse here in recent days since I shared posts last week noting 8 centrist sen dems were ready to cave to Rs on a promised vote on ACA subsides. Got called all kinds of names from certain segment of hardcore D partisans who just don’t want to pressure the party. (1/2)

Lmaooo- even Ritchie Torres is now angling to primary Schumer as the latest news keeps trickling out re another attempted #SchumerSurrender

“Even when Schumer and centrist Democrats have been dealt a strong hand, these are the sort of players who would fold a royal flush.” If the Senate Dems surrender to Republicans after having all the momentum - let there be no doubt who were responsible for caving. 👇🏻

One more City goal and United can go over Liverpool on the table. 👀 #mufc

Again when Dems are running for federal offices in 2026 & 2028 - what I want to hear from them is not just how they are going to rebuild this country but also how they are going to hold accountable those who are taking it apart- inflicting unbearable pain & suffering. There must be accountability.

So to keep it simple … Trump is ruining Thanksgiving bc he wants to deny affordable healthcare to millions of Americans (while letting millions of kids go hungry).

NYT is desperate to keep driving a “Dems are divided” narrative and honestly it’s just getting tired and stale (and boringly predictable).

I have always felt ambivalent about #UCLA playing in the Rose Bowl but this on its face appears nothing more than a money grabbing move by bunch of bureaucrats who dgaf about the soul of UCLA football and athletics. Also extremely tonedeaf move given the state of the programs and times we are in.

Now we know why Fresno State didn’t keep Tim Skipper around. Just an embarrassing performance by #UCLA defense so far. Disgraceful- but pretty much the story of Bruin football under the incompetent leadership of athletic director Martin Jarmond.

Narrator’s voice: The Bruin “D” didn’t show up.

Nice clock eating - dare I say a vintage Big Ten drive (17 plays, nearly 10 mins) from #UCLA w a TD. Now can our D show up please? 🙏🏻

TL cleanser: Saturday afternoon coffee break.

Jedd Fisch (Washington) like Jonathan Smith (Michigan State) seems so overhyped and overrated. They are not worth any kind of big money hire for #UCLA.

Shocked to hear that Schumer wanted to cave to the Republicans. So pathetic and on brand for someone who didn’t have the courage to endorse Mamdani. J/k - not shocking at all. Good on majority of the Senate Dem caucus pushing back - they should get a new leader in next Congress.

Sunderland, we needed that.

Nobody would have predicted us to get 11 pts from 15 after the Brentford loss from these fixtures: Sunderland - H Liverpool - A Brighton - H N Forest - A Tottenham - A The draws from the last 2 stings but it’s a long season & resilience is something to build on. Everton at H is a must win. #mufc

The game went off the rails when Casemiro went out. The Dalot sub in also felt unnecessary. Unsatisfying draw but United are now unbeaten in 5 matches. Honestly not sure how to feel about all this. Oh well. #mufc

Why did I get up at 4:30 am for this again? 😳 #mufc

Amorim puts his cousin on. 🙃

I love watching Mason Mount play. So smooth.

Oh Bruno … come on man.

Can we get Cunha back on the left and Mbuemo on the right now that Sesko is in - please? 🙏🏻

Senne saves!

What are we gonna do during AFCON? 😭 #mufc

Booooooooomoooooooooo!!!

COMEON UNITED.

KBJ threads the needle - read through the 🧵↘️

4:30 am pst kickoff tomorrow morning. I guess I am doing this … again. Come on United. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #mufc

Unreal that elites running these Ivy institutions are bending their knees even after the election results this week when people across the country sent a clear message. Ugly look for #Cornell as it caves to the regime.

“I don’t want to hear about the affordability, because right now we’re much less." "Donald Trump, a billionaire, is sick of hearing about hungry people." Great reporting here from @nhbaptiste.bsky.social ↘️

This is what good journalism looks like. Go talk to the people actually impacted by all the nonsense, rather than just presenting the view from nowhere...

Somewhere there needs to be a step about Americans being greeted as "liberators" with "flowers and chocolates."

Just asking for one year extension on ACA after Democrats pulled of a massive in this past Tuesday is pathetic. Once again @schumer.senate.gov who didn't endorse Mamdani like a coward - is failing to read the moment.

Johnson continues to do the work to keep the #EpsteinFiles in dark.

"All women should feel free to truly choose whatever it is they want, whether it is to be conservative or to be liberal or to have large families, to not get married, whatever it may be." BUT, she mentioned nothing about reproductive freedom. 🙄😏 www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

👀🚨 Yesterday lying liar Republican Senator from Texas Cornyn gaslighted reporters saying shutdown is hurting Democratic politically. NEW: Today fresh poll just came out 64% Latinos in Texas are blaming Republicans for the shutdown (vs just 21% blaming Dems). www.expressnews.com/politics/art...

I know some folks maybe upset with Latinos and others from communities of color who voted for Trump and regretting their votes. IMHO let's lean in with empathy - and welcome them back - and hopefully they will never leave the tent that values progress, democracy, and basic decency of humanity.

according to Politico, it's "Decision day for Senate Dems" of course, that's Politico framing after the GOP got walloped in the election and even Trump says the shutdown hurt them It's Republicans who need to make some decisions but most DC media can't grasp that www.politico.com/live-updates...

This whiny man-baby is big mad about the elections this week. He doesn't want to hear about "the affordability" anymore, cuz Trump solved that ok. So shut up just shut up stop talking about it.

The dynamic below explains the mindset of handful of Senate Dems still looking to surrender to Republicans by voting to fund the MAGA run government based on a promise of a vote to extend aca subsidies. It’s pathetic but thankfully majority of Sen Dem caucus is holding firm.

NEW in @prospect.org from @hannahstoryb.bsky.social: as Exxon once again seeks the help of the Supreme Court to avoid being held accountable for decades of climate deception, Alito isn't the only justice whose oily ties and inconsistent recusals raise serious ethics questions.

We are going to find out soon enough whether Dodgers have a soul and give a F about Los Angeles. I hope they live up to the legacies of Fernando Valenzuela, Jackie Robinson et al. abc7.com/amp/post/imm...

Susan Collins - deep in her deeply concerned soul - is just another right wing warmonger. #MESenate #MEPolitics

"What the Court’s conservatives have shown since Trump took office is that they have no problem letting the administration run roughshod over laws, just as long as that lawbreaking comes at the expense of people of color, not the stock market." Balls & strikes - in favor of Big Business.

"Law doesn't mean anything to them." Always be projecting - Cancun Ted.

Before they take on election reform or any other bill, if the Democrats get back Congress and the White House - HR 1 will need to be about rebalancing and restructuring this MAGA #SCOTUS. Nothing else should come before it bc otherwise this Court will gut anything Dems pass. SCOTUS is issue no 1.

Worth noting just two days ago - the electorate sent a pretty clear message that they are tired of targeting of trans community (as their messaging felt flat). Once again the right-wing majority of this MAGA #SCOTUS issuing opinions not in step with majority of the country.

This year, the Roberts majority has let states ban medical care for trans kids, and let Trump expel trans troops and make trans people erase themselves to travel abroad. And Roberts et al aren't done: they're gonna strike down states' conversion therapy bans and uphold states' trans athlete bans.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

and we can wrap this up now.
