How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Thinking of this quote from Mamdani’s victory speech.

Oh hey I ended up having to work tonight. The original title of this column was "Oh great, more gambling shit"

Vibes among House Democrats and activists, "The Senate is the enemy"

Donny: Are the Senate Dems gonna help us, Walter?

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

:Ron Swanson voice: So not only did this thing exist, but you have deprived people of real food!

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

Hell yeah, now we're gettin' somewhere

Now I want one of these for our library

Hard to believe this is now a daily occurrence in LA

"We take you live to Oates completely disintegrating Musk..." 🎨 by @smoothdunk2.bsky.social

I fixed it for you, NYT.

I had a redeye from PHX to Mpls Fri night (first day of the flight reductions); we were delayed 90 mins-for a flight leaving at midnight! Got to Mpls and my 7AM flight to CLT took off after 11. I watched flights being cancelled on the monitor in real time. And that was just the first 24 hrs of this.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

When this country puts its mind to something, it's unstoppable

My initial thought when ChatGPT came out is that it's main use was going to be wasting all our time. That's turned out to be pretty accurate. No matter what AI can hypothetically do, in practice it is a corner cutting technology used to save you time while wasting everyone else's time.

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

Thanks! I don't feel silenced since my books are bestsellers, but people who *just* figured out this information really should not be covering Trump. All of the evidence was, as the book says, Hiding in Plain Sight.

Great #STLCards story about C Iván Herrera, his rise through the minors, his success, and the Illinois family that helped him along the way. archive.ph/BQ44u

Wowza! I spotted a Red-tailed Hawk hunting on the Harlem Meer's Duck Island, and when it took off, I was able to capture it at eye level! Yes, it's still peak foliage here! 😍😍😍 #Hawks #CentralPark #birding

Whatever form of government this is, count me in

After publishing the 1953 paper with stolen data and winning a Nobel Prize, James Watson basically coasted on the back of Franklin's work for an astonishing 71 years with few substantive contributions to the field.

Hard to think of anything in media that regularly brings me as much pure joy anymore as the headline in The New York Times' Trilobites section.

Who wore it better?

He looks like he was told all the pizza rolls exploded in the microwave & there will be no midday snack
