Still waiting on the injury reports on the officers. I expect:
"Jones sprained his wrist as he threw a protester to the ground."
"Smith was hit by another officer's billy club and suffered a concussion."

The only records your tariffs smashed are how much more people are paying for everyday goods.
And not sure which golden toilet you pulled that 25% number out of—you just added $3.4 TRILLION to the deficit with the Big Ugly Bill.

Why are news shows interviewing newscasters?
Hayes: It’s weird that everyone just stopped applying those two things to the situation we’re in now, where they elected who also is on an accelerated aging schedule. I mean, his nickname for Joe Biden was “Sleepy Joe.” He literally fell asleep at a White House event the other day.

Lean Cuisines make some very tasty meals. I find that one or two of them can serve quite adequately as appetizers as you're waiting for the chicken wings and meat lovers pizza to arrive. 😋

Wait. They just mentioned on the news that the underaged victim mentioned with trump in the emails is deceased? Would that be Giuffre, another "suicide"? 😱

Today there is no avoiding the phrase "the dog who didn't bark."
The phrase originates from the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of Silver Blaze" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes notes out how odd a certain dog's silence is. In the end, it's key to solving the crime.

Can you see why it’s so difficult to recruit and keep ATC’s? She’s worked WEEKLY OT since 2018. 7 years! These are her and her husband’s (also FAA) pay stubs for the last two periods. And then, rightfully so, she feels personally attacked by the president for taking ONE DAY OFF. 💔🤬

Why is it "always" (not always, but frequently) organic stuff that gets pulled for food poisoning?
ByHeart previously recalled two batches of formula after the disease was found in babies who consumed the product.

Cool. Just figured out my daughter's med insurance is going from about $500/month to $900/month. If she ever gets to full time hours, she'll make $40K/year.
Yes, she will live with us forever.

Only when they get what they voted for directed at them but even then it's sandwiched between "gosh m'lord I voted for you so spare my crops" and a "please daddy Trump read my post." Like they're writing to Santa.

If Republicans are now saying private for profit health care insurance is a rapacious scam...that sounds like something to call their bluff on. How about public? Or non-profit?

Trying to piece together footage from the last few months in any coherent way just feels like making a trailer for a horror movie starring the feds...and all things considered, that's probably about where we're at.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

The rules part of this whole damn mess explainer.
Quick thread on timing of reopening the government, if they’re able to invoke cloture on MTP. (That’s a 60 voter, so you need 8 Dems assuming Rand Paul is still a no.)
For timing, if they invoke cloture today (assume after 6pm), that begins the 30 hours of debate. Takes us to Tuesday for MTP vote.

Don’t you dare think about not voting. Voting is our way to make the situation better. When you vote for people who do the wrong thing, you don’t just then give up and let whatever happen happen, you hold them accountable and make sure you get someone better next time

This “deal” is nothing more than an empty promise from the same people who just passed the largest cut to health care in our nation’s history.
