The Miracle Mile [sic], a big strong shopping center, came to me with tears in its eyes, and said, "Sir, I'm ready to call it quits. Please do something about the murder and crime!"

He looks like he was recently bitten by a zombie.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

My internal dialogue when the dryer cycle finishes.

BREAKING The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states. The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms. Doc ecf.ca1.uscourts.gov/n/beam/servl...

8 Senate Democrats Capitulated the Right Way by Ezra Klein

This is not the solution to any problem, real or imagined.

Well, at least the "Dems In Disarray" industry has some new content to work with.

No Kings includes Angus

Seems less than ideal that people who were apparently born yesterday are eligible to serve in the Senate.

TL;DR: "I'm a very stupid person."

Durbin needs to be removed from leadership ASAP.

Notable in this regard that not only was leadership clearly not on board with this but they also declined to give these 8 senators any cover.

NEW: Colorado Sens Bennet (D) and Hickenlooper (D) oppose the plan to reopen the government without a deal to extend healthcare subsidies. #copolitics

the strongest signal I’ve seen so far — the centrist and institutionalist wing of the Democratic Party is saying ‘hell no’

Tim Kaine won't see your posts calling this a good deal, but the rest of us will, and we all think you're a fucking moron.

Slotkin out now with a statement saying she is a No

If you're in line to steal Tim Kaine's lunch money, STAY IN LINE.

Mark Kelly a NO, notable as he was allegedly one of the cavers

Imagine if Kendrick Lamar wrote a diss track about Drake…..and made him *sing* on it. That’s fucking Rumours

With the White Stripes’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week, can we finally put the arguments about Meg White’s drumming to rest? She belongs there, and it’s way past time. Commentary ↓

This has been a year of discovering I agree with the Founding Fathers on topics I really did not expect to ever come up in conversation

Does Elise Stefanik really think the political environment is better for her now (or will be in a year) than it was 8 months ago, when Trump withdrew her UN Ambassador nomination out of fear her seat would be lost in a special election?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Mamdani is not the greatest, most popular politician in America, and Schumer is not the worst, most unpopular politician in America.

What sort of totally inappropriate festivities are they having at Mar-a-Lago tonight? Perhaps a slave auction?

Not sure if these are the Page One headlines WH was going for. @wsj.com

It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all. And here she is at the loser party with him.

/3 I think this is likely strategy by Justice Jackson -- she likely believes this route (rather than the stay being considered by the whole court) results in the shortest stay. But few will listen to that because of reasons 1-3, and I can't really fault them.

I need to emphasize what I say down-thread: this is a temporary, procedural move known as an administrative stay issued in haste by Justice Jackson. Little to nothing should be read into this ruling for how SCOTUS might ultimately rule on SNAP—either way.

They really stuck the landing on this one.

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

Definitely the messiest bish in Congress.
