My god she is so naive.

Why do so many Democratic senators seem to have no understanding of politics?

@tvmojoe.bsky.social important iHeart Classic AT40 channel update— they have a new bumper at the end of each episode which states that ad-free listening is sponsored by McDonald’s, and then they run a McDonald’s ad. Each show is still commercial free, fortunately.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov phone numbers don’t have voicemail, so there’s no way to personally let him know that you are upset with this ridiculous decision then by calling during normal business hours.

Mark was a mensch and I’ll miss him.

The high point of my literary career came 61 years ago. It's been downhill ever since, but here at last it gets the respect it deserves... defector.com/wilbur-huckl...

ugh ugh ugh. Altman's giving Zuck and Elon a run for their money for being just an irredeemably bad person.

This case was a turkey

LISA McCLAIN: Voter turnout from Republicans was not high. But I think part of that reason is because Republicans for the most part are happy with what's happening TAPPER: Using that argument, your voters could be so happy that Democrats retake the House next year

no offense to Rama Duwaji but when it comes to marrying a future municipal elected leader at the Manhattan city clerk's office & taking wedding day photos on an IRT train, I did it first (our photos by @melissalyttle.com / theirs by Kara McCurdy)

I bought wine the other day at the grocery store and didn’t have to show ID.

@foushee.house.gov This is Democratic leadership--we need you all out in the streets opposing fascism

Dear @foushee.house.gov this is what we’re looking for, a little fight, a little vigor, not strongly worded letters about NASA. Please step up. You’ve been out of session for more than a month—where are your town halls, your public appearances?

None of what Trump is doing is popular and voters are telling us that

Paris Miller-Foushee is one of four projected winners in the 2025 Chapel Hill Town Council race.

We’ve seen enough. Barbara Foushee has won reelection to be Carrboro’s mayor. Kudos to Mayor Foushee.

Early vote in in Chapel Hill. Four leaders are clear.

@northcarolinagop.bsky.social uses a anti-democratic maneuver to take over NC Board of Elections, after 8 years of smooth Democratic control, and now the results reporting is all screwed up. Coincidence or not?

30 minutes in, nothing from Orange County, NC. No early votes, no vote-by-mail. WTF?

This is what the Quadbox was built for.

Today is election day. Get out and vote! Not sure where to go? Here’s the deets! www.orangecountync.gov/1216/Sample-...

Incredible catch

“Rojas crunched a 105.3 mph laser to left…Miguel Rojas had NEVER BEFORE hit a 105-mph laser…He does not have the bat speed to hit a baseball 105 mph. And yet he did. In the biggest baseball moment of his life. And that tied the game. That’s baseball.” www.joeposnanski.com/p/the-greate...

What impossibly complicated double play will the Jays find here

LOL apparently Fox ran out of ad inventory? Middle of the 10th we’ve gotten five WRAL house ads in a row, no real ads.

WHAT IS HAPPENING???

holy cow!!!!

What a season

lol it’s amazing how whiny the GOP is and how they always deflect responsibility

bench clearing brawl in game 7!!!!

North Carolinians are #blessed that @northcarolinagop.bsky.social has failed so virtuously, and on such high principle, to pass a budget, writes @ncgop.bsky.social operative Andrew Dunn. May we all express our thanksgiving in this season of plenty for such committed public servants. #ncpol

Chapel Hill (like Raleigh) is eliminating curbside leaf pickup (gotta bag them instead), and residents have BIG FEELINGS about the change.

Happy Halloween!

the adults in this neighborhood are really enjoying this costume when they realize there’s a real pangram 🤣🤣

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

TWO HOURSSSSSSSSS and then our long national nightmare (of me plugging this kickstarter) is OVER

I’m trying to find a great image someone put together showing the timeline for a bike facility project (maybe in Seattle) versus the timeline for the moon landing. Anyone remember that? @seattlebikeblog.com? Trying to borrow the idea to illustrate the ludicrous amount of time to install a crosswalk
