We’re back to banning HEMP?? Is it 2002?
The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.
Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.

LEAD CHANGE: Katie Wilson is now ahead of Mayor Harrell by... 91 votes.
That's out of ≈270K!
Seattle counted roughly 39K ballots today, & they broke in favor of Wilson by 11.4%, erasing the entirety of the incumbent's lead.

I love going to a store and negotiating the price of each item
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

You just had a fucking chance to hold them accountable, and you caved. And don't give me the "I didn't vote for it" crap. You did nothing to stop them, which means you're happy they dud it but wanted deniability.
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

Katie Wilson won 55.57% of today's ballot drop, giving her a 91 vote lead over incumbent Bruce Harrell out of 272,041 ballots tallied so far in Seattle's mayoral race. So... she likely wins.

I think what happened is that Schumer and co spent all their time figuring out an exceptionally clever plan to reopen the government while pulling aggro to the least vulnerable dems, and none of their time negotiating a good deal

The whole 'don't eat things with lots of ingredients or ingredients you can't pronounce' is the stupidest advice & makes me immediately skeptical of whoever is offering it. Probably more people in the U.S. can pronounce "butter" and "arsenic" than can pronounce "quinoa," so then what?

The evidence that ultra-processed foods are bad for us is piling up. But efforts to reduce their role in our diets face a big hurdle: experts can't agree on what they are and which to target. n.pr/4qMrN7P
