Senate Democrats are offering a path forward: Reopen the government and extend the health care tax credits for 1 year to ensure millions of Americans don’t see their premiums double in January. The President & Congressional Republicans need to come to the table to negotiate.

Just back from the grocery store...even more GF items gone from the shelves and fewer store brands.

The presidential election of 2000. A poorly designed ballot. A concession. Then a retracted concession. Multiple lawsuits. Then a Supreme Court ruling that halted court-ordered recounts over a month later. The election that kicked off this whole debacle took place #25yearsagotoday. #xyearsagotoday

Yesterday, I found out that the F train was going to be permanently replaced in my neighborhood with the M. I'm upset for some weird reason and I'm upset that I'm upset.

Neoliberalism has never existed in the US. It is a word incorrectly borrowed during a time when a woman ran for president and a lot of white men didn't like it. So, they began criticizing the party she belonged to and sayng they weren't really good for the economy, using "neoliberal."

It's bittersweet. We should be closing in on the 1-yeer anniversary of Kamala's victory. It's too bad people didn't vote for her like they're voting tonight.
