not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

Another point of view on the politics happening tonight, with an emphasis on the House.

Important thread on what’s going down TONIGHT!!

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

"OMG, how did you make the Lackadaisy cartoon happen?! I want my own cartoon, too!" Oh, it's easy! Step one: faithfully update a beautiful and popular webcomic for 16 years!

Imagine if someone had to resign every time the BBC misrepresented trans people, for example.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

I wish more of you were as committed to electing Democrats in the first place & addressing root issues you hashtag to pretend to care about as you are to believing every little thing that lets you bash a Black or Jewish leader.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Once again they have deleted Lubna's account. She is less than $500 away from her goal. Can you please help her? I really dont know what else to do, can you commit to supporting someone regularly? Lubna is exhausted and donations have evaporated, she needs love and support

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

These clowns took ALL the wrong lessons from LotR.

I don't think Americans w/ employer-subsidized health insurance realize how much the ratfuckery with the ACA & the economy is affecting them, too. My health insurance costs are rising by 35% in 2026, b/c of combination of rising premiums (16%) & employer shifting greater share of cost to employees.

Sigh. Doku COOKED Konate. Fair play to that man.

It's really maddening to have to tolerate Elon's continued role in society. He killed hundreds of thousands of people - this year alone! - by illegally destroying USAID. That should have been the last thing he did before a life in prison. I don't really get why people talk about him in other terms.

I asked Georgetown law prof David Super wtf is going on with this latest demand for states to claw back benefits already sent out. He says the law doesn't allow for this, and if the USDA is mad that states already sent out SNAP money, too bad—they were following USDA's own guidance. Full comments:

It feels apt that a dead woman science writer gets the last word on this jerk.

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

The regime despises poor people, yes. And importantly it does not fear poor people as a political force. It's important to take both of these together to understand what they are doing with SNAP. They do not believe that they will incur lasting political costs for their current actions.

🤬🤬🤬

Comparing Doku to Vini Jr is so interesting. Vini falls over at even a hint of contact while Doku stays on his feet & tries to create. It’s says something about the two leagues & explains why teams from England’s 1st division have beaten teams from La Liga every time but once this season.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the only policy solution to rising home prices is to BUILD MORE HOMES. NOT CREATING MORE DEBT.* * 50 yr mortgages will, in fact, do exactly the opposite. They will increase home prices even more.

Konate is so so bad today. You can’t get beat in the air there.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

What did Benzema say about passing to Vini Jr? Because that’s what Virgil is saying right now about passing to Konate

I miss Joel Matip. He’d walk right through this press.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Dima. Dima is 22 years old and was studying IT at university before this. She is helping her very large family including her parents who are both in their sixties. Their biggest concern is winterizing their tent which as you can see needs it.

FFS Konate.

It is, and what goes unsaid is that the piece in question a) opened with one of the most blatantly racist ledes I’ve read in years* and b) was by Jeremy Peters, who for the last decade has functioned as effectively a Heritage Foundation-type operative inside the Times newsroom

"Rooftop solar is spreading fast in Jamaica, and people with panels got their power back almost immediately. The ‘entire neighborhood benefits,’ one resident said."

Odd to have the Heritage Foundation show us where the boundary of probity in the Republican coalition sits: gutter antisemitism no, but anti-Black racism & primitive misogyny? Go for it.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

So I keep seeing references to Musk as a trillionaire, & then I saw that it’s based on his compensation package. So it’s all on paper, which means it’s a lie designed to shape reality. Fuck Musk & tax him but also don’t stroke his fragile little ego by referring to him my this invented title.

Some much needed good news. “Jamaicans Have Been Turning to Solar Power. It Paid Off After the Storm.” Guft link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/c...

Maybe it’s because I am gay, but I find Obama whispering that he’s talking (or wants to talk) to Mamdani behind the scenes worse than just silently not endorsing him would be. The closet is psychologically destructive, even in non-sexual settings.
