Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Was sending a text today and the phone gods decided to autocorrect "myopic vision" to "myopic bison." Fairly sure I need to write a novel about the band Myopic Bison.

"Vote Blue No Matter Who...."
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.

My son, filibustering sleep last night:
--how do EpiPens work, in detail?
--how did Trump build a winning coalition in 2024 when he sucks so much?
--can you explain Gaza to me, with a historical perspective?
--do we have a plan in case there's a fire?
--how do EpiPens work, in detail?
--how did Trump build a winning coalition in 2024 when he sucks so much?
--can you explain Gaza to me, with a historical perspective?

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!

Hey if these are your reps it’s a great time to call and say no deal on the government shutdown without an agreement on the ACA. You’d be helping my family!

Just left messages for Schumer and Gillibrand. My husband and I are both self-employed and this will drive our premiums through the roof.
Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.
Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!
Find them here: reps.fyi

After week one of AcWriMo, we've logged 222 hours of co-writing time, and who knows how many hours of solo writing time. Pretty awesome way to end the week!

RESULT: Abigail Spanberger has been elected governor of Virginia, the AP has just called.
Her win flips this office for Democrats.
Virginia’s other statewide elections, for lieutenant governor and attorney general, have not yet been called at this time.

Mamdani couldn’t pay for a better closing argument than Stephen Miller, Elon, and Trump all endorsing Cuomo.
Just the face you want to see endorsing your campaign on the eve of the election

My 8yo told me she had a dream that she went "taco treating," which is where you go door to door and people give you tacos

This just solidified my voting plans. WILL be getting a Halloween Voter sticker. Very excited to vote against Cuomo and his Islamophobia and for Mamdani's vision of what a cosmopolitan city could be.
Added bonus for everyone who votes in NYC tomorrow: special edition “I voted” sticker
