THANK YOU, Veterans! On Veterans Day, I’d like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to every Veteran in Georgia and across the nation who has served our country with honor.
As the son of a veteran, I couldn’t be more thankful for your service and sacrifice.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

That said I am lifting up the Senators who I KNOW fought, like my own @vanhollen.senate.gov. We need to press those Senators to demand a different kind of leadership internally. There’s still a lot more work ahead and we need the leadership to be chastened.
I have come to believe this as well. The list is too strange. I don’t think a majority wanted to cave, but many more than the 8.
I think that these 8 Senators are falling on the sword for Schumer and other Senators who wanted the shutdown to end. This allows the majority of Senators to save face; and only retiring or not up for reelection Senators take the heat.
It’s a ruse.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is nice. I needed some good or at least not-bad news today.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

There will be some "Wow you can't make these people happy" sentiment but what's really happening is the Dems are beginning to reap the consequences of not really believing in anything. Choreographed maneuvers, too clever by half talking points. People have just had it

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

@ossoff.senate.gov This is pretty basic. I sincerely hope that you are being unfairly maligned by these rumors that you are surrendering. Please fight for us.
If you aren’t going to fight for us, step aside for someone who will.

Absolutely disgusted with @ossoff.senate.gov . I thought he was better than this. I hope we see a primary challenger who will actually fight for us.
Cowardly fools. Damned us all for nothing. Didn’t get naught but a cheap song. If they were gonna cave they could’ve just done it at the start and saved folks some pain. But now they did nothing and got nothing and wasted time.

Left messages for Ossoff and Schumer. Told Ossoff that I expect better from him, told Schumer that I’m sure this is just a rumor to make him look bad because you would have to be crazy to give up after the last protest and the Tuesday polls, but I won’t give any money until he’s gone if it’s true.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.
DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.
Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.
Stay safe!

I am not permitted to comment on securities on social media, so I’m just going to leave this here without further comment.
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”
