It’s as though Aunt Bea had hijacked a national political party.

it would be one thing if schumer was out there promoting this "deal". like that's just fucking expected at this point. but no, it's just these handful of rogue fuckers who know they can get away with it. and it has to be them bc this is SO unpopular.

Utterly clueless.

I can't wait to NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE next year so that I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE that enables me to BE HEALTHY ENOUGH TO HAVE A JOB AND PAY TAXES

It’s not.

What fucking world is she living in?

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

To emphasize a point I made earlier: I work freelance and pay for my own health insurance - a silver plan I buy through the Massachusetts Health Connector. I pay $1065 a month this year and will pay over $1300 a month next year. And I still have an OOP max in the five digits.

I'm pointing this out because I see people on here with employer-sponsored coverage not realizing just how bad things are going to get for people dependent on the ACA and not realizing that we still need healthcare reform that expands public options.

Yeah these guys are born losers and are unable to even do basic spin for themselves

I try not to get heated about Federal politics but my god

This is such a fucking joke. They just don’t want to go on record voting for it but know they need the tax credits to go through to keep their constituents happy.

thank you!

every time i start a project with chenille or velvet yarn i forget that the stitch definition is zero

Sam Foster had conceded in the race for mayor of Marietta. According to a video posted on social media, He and his team feel that a recount or ballot curing process would not change the outcome of the election. www.instagram.com/reel/DQutHj8...

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

MILTON.

so it seems like in georgia you can only buy HMO plans this year? for marketplace plans. um.

today i'm in the texas observer with an op-ed about how it feels to watch my university cave to racists and extremists by eliminating the departments they've been attacking for years www.texasobserver.org/tcu-eliminat...

niche memes like this make social media worth it

Guilty!

I keep seeing people share the DDHQ results map for Georgia, which as far as I can tell is very wrong in a lot of places

very weird!

today i woke up to an email from my doctor's office informing me that i had been informed of several important pieces of medical information that i was not actually informed of at my last appointment!!!!!

ANF reports that Foster has lost by 87 votes. Haven’t seen any public declarations of defeat. Deleted an earlier version of this tweet to correct a typo.

Good morning, I guess.

A photojournalist was arrested by ICE at gunpoint — and his DACA status revoked. “Ya’akub isn’t being accused of breaking immigration law — his DACA protection doesn’t expire until May 2026. In fact Ya’akub’s lawyers say he hasn’t been accused of any crime.” thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/04/h...

New from 404 Media: CBP has quietly launched a facial recognition app for local cops to do immigration enforcement. Scans their face, tells cops whether to contact ICE about this person or not. A truly rapid expansion of ICE's facial recognition app to local cops www.404media.co/cbp-quietly-...

WOW: Jayden Williams, a 22-year-old recent graduate of Clark Atlanta University, just defeated the incumbent Mayor of Stockbridge, Ga., a southeastern Atlanta suburb of nearly 30,000 reisdents, to become the city's youngest-ever mayor! www.fox5atlanta.com/election/geo...

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Re: Sam Foster & Marietta mayor race. I see the results on the Secretary of State page too but personally, I'm waiting for Eli to chime in. And IMO, a loss for Foster with this narrow of a margin is still astounding to me as someone who grew up in the area.

Dozens of votes separate longtime Marietta mayor from 24-year-old challenger

another bad sign for long-term incumbents in georgia

12 of 13 reporting and Foster still holds a narrow lead!!

The Atlanta City Council President (i.e: the de facto cop city referendum) is razor sharp margins. I don’t think we’ll have an answer on that tonight

Send your friends who feel all hopeful tonight the link to @ruwaromman.bsky.social's campaign for Georgia governor. Let's get some of this New York energy down South www.ruwaforgeorgia.com

CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.* The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

City of Marietta mayor remains tied at a measly 38% reporting per DDHQ. I know it's like, only 38%? But in the local context, yeah, that's pretty fucking nuts. Here's hoping Sam Foster can make it happen. More info on his platform here - samformarietta.com/issues/

The latest from @alander.bsky.social on today's Georgia Public Service Commission special election: At least one Democrat appears to have delivered an upset in Georgia’s off-year special election for the Georgia Public Service Commission, and another Democrat was leading in a second race.

putting election night coverage behind a paywall is just reprehensible

Georgia: Here's the result link for today's statewide special election for the Public Service Commission, as well as most local races.

so did youtube in firefox just fucking break tonight?

Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats. If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats: It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free: (Published 2019)

I don't really love to throw industry shade because it's rarely black and white, but I am going to remind people that a game starring arguably the most iconic black superhero was cancelled *in advance* of this sale and all of the GDC talks from staff working on it were shot down at the EA level

refreshing my email for test results like it’s 2020 and I’m shaking trees in animal crossing hoping furniture falls out

What a mess
