I see by the lack of responses that nobody wants to accept the truth.

I am both not looking forward to and looking forward to watching this movie, if you know what I mean.

God bless Michael Shannon. '“I’m sure anybody who’s associated with promoting and selling this movie to the world is going to be horrified by everything I’ve said in this interview,” he agrees. “But I don’t really care.”'

You may not like the cave on the shutdown, but politically it does really put the R’s in a big bind.

for what it's worth I think "they would rather starve Americans than pay for health care" is a winning message

Federal grants perhaps, but for foundations the POs have a lot more influence.

Even though Democrats didn’t get the biggest possible win, they still won the shutdown.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: To mark the anniversary of the wreck of the 'Edmund Fitzgerald' on Lake Superior (November 10, 1975), here's Gordon Lightfoot's famous song about it—as covered even more hauntingly by the Punch Brothers, including Chris Thile singing and on mandolin. See you around.

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.

The 15 year car loan post was deleted so it might be fake.

If you’re seeing this viral claim that Trump is working on 15-year car loans, it’s fake.
THE WHITE HOUSE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP As he continues to work hard to make the American Dream accessible to everyone, President Trump today has asked the Departments of Transportation and Commerce to make vehicle ownership for all a reality by introducing 15 year car loans! Secretaries Duffy and Lutnick are already working on it! Delivering for America!

@davidaldridgedc.bsky.social says it should go without saying that the Commanders should not name their soon-to-be-built stadium after President Trump, as he would reportedly like.

A new stadium named after President Trump? The Commanders have better options
Naming their next stadium after Trump, or any other modern pol, would be a cosmically bad decision for Josh Harris and his ownership group.

It's also virtually certain that Dem's efforts to restore ACA subsidies were not going to work. They had no leverage to negotiate because the opposite side doesn't care how much or how long Americans in either group were hurting.

I feel like this needs to be said, bc some big accounts are missing it.

The people feeling the pain of shutdown:

Govt workers furloughed or working for free (Lots in VA)
Flights (note fight over private v. commercial @katieporteroc.bsky.social won)
40M losing SNAP

v

20M on ACA subsidies
