I can’t stay up much longer. But if the second half is as boring as the first, I may come back down so that it puts me to sleep!

You think we're stupid? You greenlit this deal. If you couldn't stop Dems from breaking away, then you don't deserve to be the leader.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

How do you feel NOW, @shaheen.senate.gov???
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

@shaheen.senate.gov, you’re a damned liar
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

People are saying there's no upside to this deal. Wait a second. Isn't the end of Chuck Schumer's political career an upside?

Folks who are least able to afford Thanksgiving are now even less able to afford it without SNAP.
Folks who are most able to afford Thanksgiving (because they can also afford to fly) will probably be staying home.
Now we just need ICE busting up the Macy's parade & it'll be a perfect MAGA holiday.

I don’t love ride sharing like Lyft or Uber, but I do love meeting so many immigrants who drive for them. This morning I met a young man from Djibouti. He was very friendly and I told him I hope nobody gives him any shit. I hate the way this nation treats migrants.

At MSP preparing to fly home. Two local news crews were setting up to report on the flight situation in Terminal One. So far the only issue was a longer than normal line through security.

When I flew to MSP Tuesday, I was supposed to fly BTV > EWR > MSP, but due to delays I ended up having to fly BTV > EWWR > ORD > MSP instead. It's going to be interesting tomorrow to see if my MSP > ORD > BTV itinerary actually happens given the flight cancellations Duffy is ordering.

I'm 3/4's of the way through "Nobody's Girl" by Virginia Giuffre. It's breaking my damned heart.

So during my 18+ hour, multiple-hop journey to Minneapolis yesterday, I apparently missed out on what looks very promising for the blues. Expected, but still great news!
