Great post by Dan Drezner (quoting among others @joshtpm.bsky.social and Nate Silver) on the Dem cave. Highly recommended. Schumer, Durbin, & the Dem senators who folded, should take to heart these words from Leo Avery's address to Parliament after the failure of Britain's Norway Campaign early...

“We're seeing a level of proliferation of bodies & body piles from space that's unlike anything I've ever seen…” Human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond explains how more people could be killed within a week in Sudan, compared to the past two years in Gaza. 🔗 zeteo.com/p/sudans-dea...

OMG the Cincinnati Children’s hospital Pastor speaks after being detained for 73 days by ICE and he is a legal U.S citizen & they knew it when they took him & they’ve known it for all 73 days! He said the there are a lot of people in there that are U.S citizens & no crimes ever!

The sky is doing things rn. The ghost in the foreground is a guy walking his dog.

LOOK WHATS HAPPENING FLYING OUT OF DENVER RIGHT NOW!!!!!! 🔭🧪

Amazing scenes

This is inside baseball, but to me, there are three ways in which this development *bears out* Justice Jackson's unusual intervention Friday night—about which there was much confusion. First, this makes it clear that a majority of the Court was *not* going to force the USDA to fund SNAP by Friday.

Holy wow you guys - the aurora is visible in Santa Fe!

Chuck reopened the government and Trump still said stop SNAP and the SCOTUS seems willing to hear him out! Who on earth could've predicted Trump would still stop SNAP even after the shutdown ended and SCOTUS would help him starve Americans?

I can't shake the impression Republicans have noticed how many elite liberals have harped on the disappearance of pro-life Democrats from their caucus & taken it as proof that Democrats have grown too radical on abortion & are vulnerable. Which is a calculation I invite them to make

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes. If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better. This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

Gov. Tate Reeves aims to ban Mississippi SNAP recipients from buying unhealthy foods in a bid to woo U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the State seeks federal funding for a rural health-care program. www.mississippifreepress.org/gov-reeves-s...

As Sarah Jeong said this morning, perhaps our best hope is No Kings / Mobilize / Indivisible / &c taking over the Dem Party. Lucy & the football, indeed. That the Dem Establishment got taken YET AGAIN, and there are no signs of a contingency plan, says it all.

OK, I think we have a winner...

Insane. How many judges does the oil industry own? Because they sure get a lot of crazy, nonsensical rulings in their favor.

Saying we need massive CO₂ removal is like saying we need fusion power. We might need them but we ain’t got ‘em.

I believe.

I sometimes wonder if Trump sees Dem Establishment pratfalls as an opportunity to taunt Dems with new atrocities. In this case by "pratfall" I mean the shutdown cave.

*blinks*

(watching people at the zoo making fun of the dumb monkey who's throwing his own poop) You guys are only saying that because you disagree with the monkey politically. You have monkey derangement syndrome

Oh good I was worried some hungry people might get some food

Wow, that’s crazy. Republicans lied and are screwing you over? Who could have seen that coming?

Imagine if we had a real opposition party. Hahaha ... I know, if wishes were fishes ...

Trying to imagine the reaction if a Democrat said that the American workforce is talentless.

This. is why. you don't fucking capitulate to these people.

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear: We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people. If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

The only Dems who could block it already agreed to it

if only there was an article—well what do you know

Yes, we have issues and gripes. I certainly have mine. But I think they are solvable in the near term. MAGA, on the other hand, is in total disarray. And their problem - a malevolent, unpopular fool sinking deeper into dementia surrounded by clowns, is only going to get worse.

I hate to inform Democrats and DNC juche types you are expected to do *politics* instead of just legislating and fundraising.

Peanuts from November 11, 1998. Charles M. Schulz pays tribute to veterans (and Bill Mauldin) by featuring Mauldin's characters, Willie & Joe.

"Go on, human, ask me anything. Except basic math stuff. And putting things in sequential order. And don’t do any made-up riddles to mess with me. Real riddles ONLY."

According to a whistleblower, since Trump’s personal attorney interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell, she has been transferred to a “country club” minimum security facility where she’s being waited on hand and foot

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has a nice ring to it.

In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

He's not a Boer, he's a Boor. And not just a Boor ... he's the Final Boor!

you can’t defend this or redeem it

i think it’s a perfectly legitimate question and line of reasoning — can we trust the establishment that helped get us into this mess to get us out of it? and fwiw, historically speaking, the answer is usually “no”. americans aren’t exceptional

i think a big reason so many democrats won’t say ICE and CBP should be abolished is because they can’t bear the shame of their own votes that built them. (ty @adamserwer.bsky.social for the shame language i borrowed)

U.S. fliers are encouraged in the coming weeks to come to the airport with their own air traffic controller.

Arrested fighting an active fire while we were under a Red Flag Warning. Total betrayal all around.

omg @sabs.bsky.social

This.

it's pretty fun the counterweight: electric motor torque go zoom

Finally driving my first EV and can’t be the only middle aged dad now *obsessed* with regenerative braking and getting as many miles as humanly possible.

Countdown to pundits explaining yet again how this result shows folks really want centrists
