House Minority Leader Jeffries has been speaking for nearly five hours, which buys us more time to put some last-minute pressure on Republicans.

Whoops, Trump admits the big ugly bill is political suicide... while whipping votes for the bill.

When he was a few months old, my cat, with the aide of a rope on the handle in his mouth, threw a hunting knife in my general direction. Yesterday, he slapped a box cutter off a table near my feet. All these years and the old man still hasn’t lost his edge. #caturday

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Starting on Bluesky. Catching up on some emails. Found update from an artist whose work I enjoy. They just started a Substack combining interests in art and civil engineering. Just starting recent entry on exploring the failures of a recent event. substack.com/@katpurcell
