Tonight's launch event at Women & Children First was delightful. I am so grateful to my fellow contributors and besties @mayaschenwar.bsky.social and @tanuja.bsky.social for joining me in conversation. It was a packed house. Btw, I signed all copies of Read This and LTRY at this bookstore. ❤️

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora

"Kaine dismissed the criticism Monday.
"I don't need to court anybody's approval, and I don't need to fear anybody's judgment. If people think I made the wrong call, then it's a free country," he said."

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.
If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.
This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.

But I was told there was a pinky promise to vote on ACA subsidies. Why, they can’t break a pinky promise!
NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

The interest on the debt was such that the vassals could never get out of debt.
