Dem Senators knew this too.
They thinking “winning” is being able to go on their increasing small share of the media and say: “See? SEE? Republicans don’t care about you.”
Like that strategy has had any effect for the last decade or more.

Literally every Dem voter knew this would happen. You all failed us by failing to hold the line.
We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans just don't care about your health care.

I was raving about Garnacho for Chelsea before it was trendy.
I thought Garnacho terrorised Liverpool down that wing. Be interesting to see how he does against this faltering Forest defence.
(Not enough to bring him into your #FPL team. But enough to be a game-changer today.)

It's scary living in a reality where this becomes "the norm," where the sheer horror of this recedes from daily discourse as the news cycle updates to the latest thing.
And you realise this - THIS - is how atrocities happen. With an overwhelming deluge of horrific news that you can't keep up with.

Whoa man. I just think it's a useless inefficiency. Just centrally plan and redistribute the stuff itself.
If you are generating enough "excess wealth" to need taxes to do the redistributing, you can probably do your planning better.
Taxing the wealthy is a stopgap that the wealthy can attack.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The Right continue to move the Overton window by claiming that actual racism is no longer racism.

Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp repeatedly refusing to say that he thinks Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying she doesn't like seeing black people on TV was racist.
Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration

Striking to hear a senior Government minister in Wes Streeting clearly condemning Sarah Pochin's racism and the wider spread of racism across the UK, while defending the contribution of migrants to our country. Feels like a long time since we've heard a government minister speak like that

Ofcom is failing to protect our democracy. It must be reformed. Unfortunately Starmer refuses to notice that democracy is under greater threat than at any time since 1945.

Spent a day at a care home, with people suffering from dementia.
More worthwhile and fulfilling than any part of my day job.
I have more thoughts, and feelings, than I'm capable of sufficiently articulating.
But I know we don't value or prioritise looking after our elderly as much as we should.
