We have a bottle of this if you’d like to try it. I can say unequivocally that we will never bring it close to our lips again.

🧑‍🍳💋 10/10, no notes.

Mark is being intentionally obtuse. Which healthcare systems? Medicare Who tells the doctors how much they are paid? Medicare Who pays the bills at high end hospitals? Medicare/supplemental insurance. Who tells patients if they can get care? Everyone gets care. That’s the whole fucking point.

He’s not wrong. The structural problem with the ACA is that Republicans stripped out the public option and allowed for vertical integration in healthcare. So, no large public pool of insured to negotiate lower rates, and insurance companies can own everything from the hospital to the pharmacy.

I've been enjoying @michaelianblack.bsky.social's writings for a while now, you should subscribe. This is a perfect explanation of what it feels like to live in America, especially in this moment. The "American Dream" does still happen, but it's a lucky shot in the dark, not something earned.

Did it, though?

Good thread. I have a 13 year old now, and it’s nearly impossible to explain to her how different our childhoods were. Questions like, “what did you do if you didn’t know something?” are a real rabbit hole, even though the final answer is “we just kept on not knowing it.”

As the spouse of the executive director, I can tell you that Hello In There couldn’t be more excited about @mayormeganbarry.bsky.social joining their board! I’m excited to see what they accomplish.

Folks in Nashville: they are snatching people up from the corner shop where the kids get ice cream in the summer. Ready to buy a whistle yet?

Cuban is currently flooding his feed with some truly bizarre takes on universal healthcare. I understand not trusting our current govt to run a lawnmower, much less healthcare, but the rest of this is garbage.

Hank Green knows what's up.

Looking for some good news, this is the best I could do.

I’m not sure how to interpret tonight’s results in any other way than to say that winning a race in TN is impossible. Most unpopular President in my lifetime and we still can’t get within five points of a victory. Very depressing night, y‘all.

1 million per cent agree. Same with record stores. And thrifting.

Haha, no

It also makes you wonder what these executives do, exactly. Clearly not much of value. If you want to replace workers with AI, start at the top. Save millions of dollars and preserve the jobs of regular people, all with no discernible drop in quality or competence.

Y’all, they are fuckin’ terrified.

The Thanksgiving Day parade: where else can you see a C-list country singer perform a generic country song on a Green Giant float with a bunch of kids dancing around him?

This is the saddest, most hilarious shit I think I’ve ever seen. He was basically Chris Farley doing that Paul McCartney interview.

Cannot believe I had to work with this boot licking loser. Don't vote for this guy. Don't let your friends or family vote for him. Show them this groveling for the support of a narcissistic wannabe tyrant and ask them if they'd trust this guy to vote to help his constituents if Trump said otherwise.

Vote totals and distributions as of yesterday. Very interested to see how these change after today, looks like Nashville is showing up this afternoon. I don't know how to interpret any of this, but I do like seeing big percentages for Davidson County.

Is there a place to see number of total votes cast in the TN-7 race, broken out by county? I feel like @whittlz.bsky.social might know this, if it exists.

Polls don’t vote. Knock a door, call some folks, pots and pans!!!!!!

Scraping the bottom of the endorsement barrel here, maybe he could get John Rich to do a video too. Also, not since Bill Lee have we seen a less charismatic political candidate. Absolute wet blanket Van Epps.

Y'all, this race is going to come down to who shows up at the polls. Trump carried this district by 22 points, and @aftynbehn.bsky.social is within 2 points in this poll! If you live in 7, GO VOTE! Today is the last day of early voting, or you can vote on December 2nd.

We’re gonna burn down the planet so that Elon can build a “sick burns”machine. The future is exactly what I expected, so cool and great

Isn’t this worse? Dispersing these people across the government in positions of leadership where they can do even more damage and become harder to remove in the future?

Kamala Harris & Justin Jones choosing not to even use Aftyn’s name… really something. And also utterly unsurprising. This is why so many of us hate the Dems, fyi. No such thing as solidarity, only self-interest & status quo.

It is astounding how much of Trump‘s rhetoric is just repackaged Kenny Powers lines. “These are questions about me personally as a superstar. You got this moment in time here with an American icon and you’re gonna waste it asking a question about the fucking mile?” youtu.be/BPKUhXkP7tY?...

It also guaranteed an influx of relatively young, healthy members for the insurance companies, a huge boon for them. Important to remember this was a Republican plan before Obama adopted it. It was designed to further entrench our terrible healthcare system.

Listen to this boot licking loser! Wish I could vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social, but if you live in 7, go early vote and keep this vile human out of Washington.

Hey, 15 is not “barely legal.” It is illegal, and immoral, and vile. Megyn Kelly is a fucking ghoul like the rest of them. Also, is the argument here that if they were just a little older, it would be ok to rape them? Enjoy dying on that hill.

It’s Season of the Witch IRL

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Everyone is getting excited about this Epstein vote, but I think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/p...

This is panic from the Trump admin. Unfortunately, I think Boebert is one of the few people on the planet that Trump can outsmart. Paired with whatever bribe or dirt on her they have, and this is not looking good for democracy.

Great read, and I think it outlines the crux of our capitalism problem. If PE is involved (and sometimes even when they aren’t), customers cease to be the customer. The shareholders are the customer, and what’s good for them is often terrible for the actual customers.

No free bus fares, but at least we got a ring beam!

WASHINGTON NEEDS A SHAKE-UP The same career politicians who caused the shutdown are now playing games with your health care. Eight Senate Democrats just cut a deal—but Speaker Johnson still refuses to hold a vote to protect ACA subsidies. Tennessee can change that on Dec. 2.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

I worked with him and can confirm. Bless this woman who suffered him, I hope she speaks out more publicly.

If you see this post an album cover with a motor vehicle in it

More of this, please! And less reposting of nonsense Epstein theories that are clearly false.

Y‘all, what am I missing here? My understanding is that Grijalva’s vote is number 218, which is just over half of 435, a simple majority to release the files. This race has no bearing on the vote at all. So why is @aftynbehn.bsky.social retweeting this nonsense? What am I missing?

If I wasn’t boycotting Target already, this would absolutely inspire me to do so. Do not talk to me, Target employee! I am here to wander with my thoughts and look at useless items I will never actually buy.

I'm an Aftyn supporter, but this is nonsense. Grijalva is the 218th vote whether Behn wins or not. This comes across as dishonest, at least to me. We expect this sort of fearmongering from Republicans, not Democrats.

The sandwich thrower jury is instructed to follow the court’s instructions to the best of their a BLT.
