Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

Chuck Schumer is caving in on ACA extensions the right way. by Ezra Klein

Trump just got massively booed and flipped off by the crowd at the Commanders game. (Video: Marisa Schultz)

I turned off Red Zone because I don’t wanna see that clown (especially while I’m trying to watch football). Get a clue, Fox Sports & Red Zone! Someone tell me when he’s gone because I *was* enjoying my afternoon watching football

@foxsports.com.web.brid.gy @nflredzone.bsky.social nobody wants to see that clown right now! Get him off my screen!!

My child now has an emotional support measuring cup.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Why was Jayden Daniels still on the field? They weren’t going to win this game and wasn’t he just coming off an injury? Feel terrible for the guy.

The Power Fantasy of Superman is you still have a staff job on a newspaper.

It’s almost sickening how good this account is

Honestly I forgot about George Santos the entire time he was in prison

Never leave a game early!

Too many spinning plates for us to make #nokings today. But we’re watching some of the coverage and clapping for speakers, sending strong democracy vibes to our friends out there reppin for us ✊🏽

I need a support group for parents of tall toddlers. My child can reach sooo much 😩 please tell me it won’t be like this for years. Will it be like this for years? I’m barely surviving the first month 😵‍💫

Welp I guess I’m rooting for anybody but the Dodgers 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why am I even watching this #Cubs

me, to toddler, after he requests to be picked up and cuddled: "I love you. You're the most precious thing in the world." toddler, whispers loudly: "Dada." 🤣🤣

Today is my name day. I spent it with the #nikontour and a meatball sub from Poma’s in OB before getting my toddler from daycare. Here are a few of my snapshots! I know they’re not great – I forgot to check if the camera was saving raw files – but I had fun, and I like my photo of the seagull.

Ouch. The ump work this game has been pretty gnarly all around. #Cubs

I loved my Apple TV until this update. I am not convinced it *isn’t* planned obsolescence. I am furious. This is so, SO unusable.

There’s a product related reason to hate Disney right now and it’s the nightmare that is the Disney+ package with Hulu and ESPN that won’t allow me to watch my alma mater play football tonight. Wtf is this doom loop of verification? Ugh

Honestly same

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

People want change. They’re tired of showing care for others and not getting the same care back. It is awfully tiring to get absolutely nothing after begging and pleading for meaningful change, then be asked to have sympathy for those who stand in the way of change. People are too worn down for it

@schmutzie.com omg HIIIIII

HEADS UP PARENTS The new season of @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social is on Netflix now!

Interviewing a fifth grader on the news about the shooting at their school. Yet we don’t do anything meaningful to change it. We’re just gonna do this forever, aren’t we?

Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?

Trying to get answers on home insurance non-renewal (our 2nd!) in California (yeah, it's fun!). So far I've been dealing with an automated phone system or helpless agents who have been kneecapped by virtue of how the system works. It's infuriating. But it leads me to: Why have we not revolted yet?

Do you want your infant or toddler to have an extra long nap? Just make plans for after their nap! They’ll make sure to get in 40+ more minutes than you planned on!

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Dear daycare workers: please don’t tell the first time, one-and-done mom that her only baby took steps because you may have ruined her baby’s first steps for her and you can’t take it back. Lie like a dog and don’t say a thing. Say they’re close. Say they’ll do it soon. Just don’t ruin it for her.

One perverse aspect of Trump calling up the D.C. National Guard while crime plummets to a 30-year-low: Trump REFUSED to call up the D.C. Guard on Jan. 6 to counter an insurrection that he himself incited. If Congress won't give D.C. statehood, at least give us control over our National Guard.

Little Rock, the capital city of Tom Cotton's home state of Arkansas, has one of the highest violent crime rates of any city in the United States. D.C. doesn't even crack the top-10.

Chicagoans, help us reunite Bam Bam with his loving family! His blind guardian has been walking SEVEN hours a day trying to find him 💔 If you have any information, please come forward immediately. Bam Bam could be in danger and needs to return home!

Uhhh. We are on a tsunami watch right now

If Trey Parker and Matt Stone successfully goad Trump into blowing up the Paramount/CBS deal it will be the funniest thing South Park has ever done

You won’t be seeing any Hulk Hogan tributes from me 💅🏼

Nooo not Malcolm Jamal Warner 😭😭😭

“Finances” is very clearly bullshit. Colbert has almost 50% more viewers as no. 2, which is Kimmel Also sorry my math sucks, I meant 50% more so I reposted this latenighter.com/news/here-ar...

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

This is literally what we reported would happen. www.status.news/p/skydance-c...

probably unrelated

This is a tragedy and a casualty of this terrible merger deal. They’re caving in to a fascist

Justice Sotomayor wrote a chilling dissent in McMahon v. New York, handed down today: “When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary's duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” We should all be alarmed.

Just got our second nonrenewal notice in 3 years regarding our home insurance coverage. Wildfire risk, they say. What’s even the point of being an insurance company if you won’t insure anybody? Oh, right. To make profit. Silly me.
