If I was running for Congress, I would promise to appropriate money for USAID, b/c as far as I am concerned it remains an agency as no-one repealed the statute that created it in 1998. It blew my mind at the time that we were like, yep, sure, we will just close an agency without authorization.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: We are in a critical moment right now, y'all. So I need you to take this call to action seriously. Make sure your Senator knows that you want ACA healthcare credits extended and an end to the shutdown, not one or the other.

To quote another of my favorite podcasts: this is bonkers. I'm in. I'm inclined to support everything that comes out of Lauren Shippen's brain. This sounds like a hell of a lot of fun and the cast and crew are incredible. Throw them some $$ and help make magic happen!

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

As @prisonculture.bsky.social has said, hope is a discipline!

The Wikipedia page has been updated.

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

And if my grandma had wheels, she could have been a bicycle.

I actually got chills watching this. It's simple and it's perfect.

Once more, for old times’ sake

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

You don’t have to mourn war criminals. You don’t have to issue condolences to their families. You don’t have to launder their legacies. Save your grief for the innocents they killed, maimed or tortured without ever seeing justice served to their executioners.

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

Veronica Mars and Moonlighting. Just to have Veronica staring at David Addison every time he does, well, anything. She'd also develop a strong bond with Agnes DiPesto and give her secret tips on doing research on clients. The two of them would split off and start their own agency.

Doctor Who and Mork and Mindy.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

Please let this be true. Mark Walters is a principal owner of the Dodgers AND owns a slice of private immigrant jails & prisons throughout the country. He is taking serious dollars from Latinos while making money off of destroying their families and the lives of immigrants & refugees.

Well, this was a genuine shock. I teared up just hearing @laurenshippen.com's introduction, before the episode even started. After Nightvale, the first fiction podcast I fell in love with was The Bright Sessions. The characters felt like people you wanted to know and that you could care about.

Has this World Series consistently featured the highest quality of baseball? No. Has it featured the widest array possible of beautiful, weird, specific baseball delights? Yes.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

...World Series hero Miguel Rojas (Venezuela), Edgardo Henriquez (Venezuela), and manager Dave Roberts (born in Japan). What an incredible international team of immigrant champions! (2/2)

Congrats to Mark Walter, President of Guggenheim Partners and owner of the Dodgers, and his players Teoscar Hernández (Dominican Republic), Shohei Ohtani (Japan), Andy Pages (Cuba), Hyeseong Kim (South Korea), Kiké Hernandez (Puerto Rico), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Japan), Roki Sasaki (Japan)... (1/2)

It was a magical ride with all of you. Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

Fwiw, it’s nice to have a place to chat during a live event. That was one of the things that Twitter was great for. Before the dark times. Before the empire.

It is truly the most American thing that the World Series MVP needs a translator to take his post game interview

Not to be corny but i am deeply moved watching a bunch of people from all over the world, who speak different languages and live different lives, do a thing together

I'm a little tired of Freddie Freeman's face. But then there's Mookie. I can't hate Mookie. It's gotta be illegal to hate Mookie Betts.

Also, he wants to deport most of your team.

So the World Series MVP is an… immigrant

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔 Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world. Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy. Now go re-sign Bo.

we recreated baseball twitter in the aggregate

Happy for Yamamoto. What an incredible performance.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the first pitcher to win 3 games in a single World Series since Randy Johnson in 2001. Johnson won Game 2 and Game 6 as a starter and Game 7 as a reliever. Yamamoto did the same.

Wow. I was pulling for the Blue Jays all the way. Heartbreaking end. Sorry to all the fans across Canada, and all the fans who wanted the Dodgers to crash and burn.

Not just bonus baseball. This is edge of your seat, white knuckle baseball.

Extra innings in Game 7 of the World Series. As it should be for a series like this.

Sorry, but I look at Emmet Sheehan and I see this guy.

Vlad for MVP if this holds? He's been amazing on defense and offense.

people call toronto canada's new york, but it's not. it's canada's chicago and it's the best thing you could say about both cities

Incredible thread if you enjoyed the Bo Bichette Homer.

"Dave, can you look into the camera and say, 'Game 7 on FOX, there's nothing like it!'"?

Roberts has a guy on second base and this Fox clown is still insisting on the dugout interview. Come one, let him manage his team!!!

If you told me Addison Barger was a famous singer and Tate McRae a Canadian baseball player, I would believe you.
