What you see on Capitol Hill on a muggy summer morning when the Senate is going to vote on a Bill to strip health care away from almost 17 million people.

What you see on a muggy Sunday summer evening when the Republicans have delayed a vote on a bill that will cut $930 billion from Medicaid and remove almost 17 million people from health care coverage.

A late evening view of the Capitol.

U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk. Citizens need only fill out the form and mail it in to DOGE. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Trump blaming people with disabilities really makes the lack of an outspoken advocate for people with disabilities in the Senate like a Ted Kennedy or a tom Harkin or a Bob Casey or a Sherrod Brown felt. Or an Orrin Hatch or Bob Dole.

Thanks, too, to Chad in Sen. Brown’s office and Sam in Sen. Wyden’s office.

Thank you, President Biden!

Jimmy Carter has died. A remarkable man who has been on our minds a lot lately, for many reasons. What an example he set for everyone who has had to ask themselves, “Now what?” www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

@lollardfish.bsky.social Congrats on the NYTimes Book Review blurb this morning.

A disabled protester (with the same disability as I have, Osteogenesis imperfecta) was awarded $400K after being kicked in his wheelchair during 2020 racial justice protests. Let this be a precedent: www.axios.com/local/portla...

With Sherrod Brown and Bob Casey losing, Democrats lost two big voices for disability rights. Sherrod Brown was a huge advocate for lifting the asset limit on SSI. Bob Casey supported special education and spending more on Medicaid home services. #PASen #CripTheVote #OHSen

Orioles just put out a video of every O's pitcher strikeout from 2024. Tucker Davidson's 1 k is at 1:26:43 for all you sickos youtu.be/GMKpxw_dh4s?...

I would run out of walk before I found a way to calm my swirl of post-election emotions about this.

Art everywhere.

Complete list of shortstops in MLB history with 2000 hits, 200 home runs, and 400 stolen bases: 1) Jimmy Rollins

I’ve spent the last decade chronicling the #Autism rights movement and #Neurodiversity as a political movement. It had slow but gradual gains. But RFK Jr.‘s nomination to HHS takes a sledgehammer to those hard-won gains. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Seconded. Love @lollardfish.bsky.social
