The paperwork that was supposed to be processed between the plumber and the insurance company was never processed last week, then the person left for the long holiday weekend. Super helpful since the cracked water pipe is getting worse and plumber can't schedule until it's resolved.

Since we're rapidly approaching Thanksgiving, some pumpkin pie history by @lifesafeast.bsky.social. I love pumpkin pie but since I was born south of the Mason-Dixon line, I also love sweet potato pie.

Who knew pumpkin pie originated in France?! jamieschler.substack.com/p/tarte-au-c...

While the Trump admin sent $40 billion to a keep the regime of a right wing crackpot afloat in Argentina, they are putting on a full court press to starve and deny food stamps to millions in America.

Stunning to think that this is who the Democrats caved in to last night. The guy is literally fighting in court to deny food and they thought it made sense to fold.

Uh huh, that will definitely help people pay the bills when they get crushed.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Shaheen on Fox & Friends: "I believe there are number of Republicans who are gonna join us in trying to address healthcare costs ... we are gonna be able to continue to right about healthcare because we're gonna have a vote in December."

These Democrats will never learn. They will sell everyone down the river every chance they get.

PARIS (AP) – France’s former President Nicolas Sarkozy to be released from prison under judicial supervision, a Paris court says

For those wondering who pressured the Democrats to cave in... Somehow the airline industry wasn't able to pressure the Republicans but they found enough stupid Democrats to do their dirty work.

Every time the Democrats do something bad that infuriates the base voters, someone who I've never seen before or heard of comes out with an "ummm, actually here's why you're stupid and they were right" post and I want to lose my mind.

Sorry if I'm not buying that line again.

Yes, Sarko was always so compassionate about the suffering of others. He somehow came back into favor with the center and the right, despite everyone knowing exactly what he's all about.
Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy called his imprisonment a "nightmare" as prosecutors requested he be released from jail pending an appeals trial over Libyan funding.

With few exceptions, all Democrats need to be primaried by someone who gives a shit. The leadership caved to Trump and will keep on caving.
BREAKING: Senate takes first step to end government shutdown after some moderate Democrats agreed to proceed without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies, angering many in their caucus who say Americans want them to continue the fight.

Remember to *NOT* vote Blue no matter who and this especially applies to Schumer when he's running again. Please vote this weakling out of politics and send him to Florida with Cuomo.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Interacted with someone this week who slapped (executive) MBA from Harvard all over his profile and it went as imagined. The MBA part was bad enough but good grief the HBS part makes it so much worse. A triple red flag of bullshit.
