We've hit another storage shortage so putting out another call for your hard drives: HDD, SDD, NVME, SAS or SATA, whatever you've got, aren't using, & can donate to the cause it'll be used directly for the long time archival of NCAA football broadcasts (and occasional news coverage). DM me! Thanks!

they have never *not* betrayed everyone. using the word "if" here reveals just how either a) naive and unsuitable for office you are or b) complicit (and unsuitable for office) you are.
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

as the husband of a mahjong addict, dudes need to identify an activity that can be done relatively easily in groups with minimal financial commitment so they can get out of the house for 2-3 hours on a school night, have two beers, and shoot the shit with their buddies.
It won't be mahjong tho.

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.
And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?
Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

the drummer, Barry Keane, is also the drummer on "OK Blue Jays," on Anne Murray's top-selling album "Let's Keep It That Way" ("You Needed Me"), and oh yeah on Shania Twain's demo tape that got her the Mercury Nashville contract in 1992
today I learned the released version of the song was take one, the first time the band ever actually played the song, and the drummer had never heard it before? unreal
The Edmund Fitzgerald sank 50 years ago today. The next year, the singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot chronicled the tragedy in an unlikely hit single.

"Broke ranks" isn't even true. They admitted Schumer was in the room the whole time!
JFC. Does @schumer.senate.gov not get that by caving, Democrats make it *harder,* not easier, to make the ACA subsidies expiring stick politically to Trump/GOP? This effort to shame Republicans in this context risks signaling to low-info voters that Rs are standing on conviction and Dems aren't.

Pulte directly profits from these decisions, it's probably the most nakedly corrupt thing happening in our federal government and something that was obvious the moment he was nominated. AND YET three Democrats (Alsobrooks, Gallego, & Slotkin) voted to confirm him.

So I decided to look up the claims frequencies of other types of insurance and along the way discovered that the claim frequency for employer provided insurance is actually LOWER, & historically MUCH lower, than people with Obamacare marketplace plans. (He is a medical doctor. He is lying to you.)
