sheldon whitehouse is a smug one, isn't he? but i will remind you that he was once just a little jewish kid burdened with the name sheldon.

Schumer didn't want his fingerprints on it. But they are there. And so-called "warriors" like Murphy are mostly hot air. They vote to retain Schumer in his position. /end

Schumer hides behind the eight Vichy Dems, but you can see his shadow all over this like you see your own when you're taking a photo with the sun behind you. He also couldn't admit he voted for Cuomo, which of course he did. He puts his hands over his eyes and thinks that makes him invisible.

free estradiol for everyone!!!

Trump has executed six more civilians in a small boat. The death toll now stands at 76.

I dare hope that the next Democratic Senate leader isn’t in the Senate yet.

fwiw, the people on the phone at healthsourceri are flawless. their portal is a nightmare but the phone was easy.

My statement on the spending legislation and Republican healthcare crisis.

the folks trying to assuage the masses with their, "let it hang around their necks in the midterms" garbage clearly have no financial or employment issues. it is the white man's rationale.

okay, switch to your house reps. make the calls!

I didn't catch this until i saw @intense.wiggling.me 's post but he literally says "I, then say your name, do solemnly swear" oh my GOD

a PROMISE of a vote so they can be humiliated twice. i am livid.

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.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

that rhode island marketplace website ain't functional and i would bet a lot of money it has not been properly secured.

healthsourceri is the absolute worst coded site on the fucking planet. constant sign out between pages, numerous 404s, every link opens a new tab, pages load completely black. on three different browsers. i have been trying for five hours.

usually good fortune is very busy on a friday afternoon. you can get 25-lb bags of rice for $20, good ramen, tons of produce (probably affordable meat but i'm veg) but today, it was a ghost town.

i have a front porch that is only accessible from inside. if you knock on my front door, you're gonna have to talk to the porch. IF i even answer.
