The Republican Party tried more than 50 times to kill the Affordable Care Act in Congress. They’re not going to negotiate over this. They’re salivating at the prospect of stripping away healthcare from millions of Americans.

The fact that not a single member of the Senate Dem caucus has called for Schumer to be replaced shows you how deep the rot is. This includes Sanders and Warren.

Ed Martin: "What this pardon does is help rescue the people who were hunted. The Biden administration hunted the alternate electors who were participating in our constitutional process in 2020 ... they were Trump supporters who believed in the Constitution."

It was a major mistake that the Senate didn’t hold high-profile hearings and investigations into the corrupt Roberts Court when ProPublica was breaking the scandals.

Now that same corrupt Court is blowing up NIH, NSF, and all of US basic science.

Our failure to pick a big fight with the Court 1/
look at what this leadership did with oversight powers of SCOTUS in the middle of multiple devastating scandals for the conservatives. look at the half assed impeachments and half-assed oversight during the teens.

“Miracle Mile”

Where have we heard that one before, @bencollins.bsky.social @katmabu.bsky.social ?

It’s called the “The Magnificent Mile.”

He wants to bring in troops because of low store vacancy rates? WTF.

He’s been listening to that weirdo who posts pictures of vacant Chicago storefronts?

I literally did this the other day. Put some on a couple 10 year old jello packets I made.

The reddiwhip had been in the fridge for a while and I didn’t bother to check the use by date.

I may have overdone it and I didn’t feel too hot when I went to bed.

Live dangerously.
NEVER FORGET: If you keep a can of reddiwhip (or whatever equiv you like) in your fridge you can just grab it and have a quick bit of whipped cream whenever you like. It's just a thing you can do.
