"Fighting for princesses" is like the funniest takeaway of the Illiad. It's like saying Romeo and Juliet is about young love. Not inaccurate but misses a few key points.

Jesus, never get on Joyce Carol Oates bad side.
![Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:
"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buy3qvqcj3o76leo6ap7pn2p/bafkreifilfbsxemfsambf4kqwolr24ld2ekqcrz4ybgv3bv7kzi5e6kppm@jpeg)

You can't get through the first week of calculus without memorizing this formula, and it looks like this is the first time he's seen it. He's marveling at a basic limit formula. This is like seeing the quadratic formula and going "Yes, so deep."

Imagine listening to this after you did your weekly shopping and filled your car.
INGRAHAM: Is affordability a voter perception issue of the economy, or is there more that needs to be done by Republicans?
TRUMP: More than anything else, it's a con job by the Democrats. Are you ready? Costs are way down.

MASTERFUL GAMBIT, SCHUMER. Now just use our leverage to, OH WAITZ
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

The vast, vast majority of people on food stamps have a full time job or more than one. But like, dude, it makes no fucking sense someone would leave a full time job to get a few hundred a month on food stamps. How much do they think you get?
Trump on SNAP: It really puts the country in jeopardy. People who are able bodied who can do their job—they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up because it’s easier—that’s not the purpose of it

I'm muting this now, but I need you to remember: we can control the narrative, we can capture the love of the people. Because what we want is good, what we want is to take care of everyone. Better things are possible and hope is the spirit of liberation. So get mad, get over it, and get to work.
It doesn't matter how the votes ends up now. The narrative is now shifted. The Dems shut down the government. That will be the conversation around all the Thanksgiving Tables. The Dems ratfucked us.

Comrades, understand, a lot of what I do is to turn Wine Moms on the Moderate Caucus. I want 1000 year jihad declared on feckless neoliberalism. We can't just destroy MAGA, we need anger turned on the liberal capitalism that made it.

OK, where are we on the SNAP benefits cases?
Two things happened this morning:
* DOJ told SCOTUS they're still fighting to stop full November SNAP benefit payments, via their stay request at SCOTUS
* District court judge in Mass. stayed USDA's 11/8 memo ordering states to "undo" full payments

Also, there is nothing stopping you from doing both. The DSA works very hard to reform the Democrats while also building their own party to relevance.
There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.
Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.
Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.
Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.
