And for what? The slim hope Mr. Thune keeps a promise?
All of the sacrifices Americans made in the past few weeks were tendered for .... a GOP promise to allow a vote on some subsidies in December?
You've been swindled

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

telling someone who’s health insurance premiums are going up 2000% that the republicans are now on record opposing healthcare and they promised to vote on it later so it’s really for the best that the senator won’t be moderately inconvenienced flying home in two weeks

@schumer.senate.gov - I'm from Indiana, contacting my senators directly is less than useless. As the leader, you're the next in line --
Why give in NOW? Why let folks suffer for weeks only to concede now? Nothing to show for their sacrifice besides the promise of more pain! Are you that craven?

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Oh, bless Christina Tosi's heart. If that's *her family's* recipe and not the same one made in at least a million American kitchens, then *I'm* the founder of Milkbar. 🙄
I think the recipe is ON the box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix.

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

It's Saturday night. Many things are bad. But tonight I got to see old friends (and *sob* their now giant children), play dumb games and eat deep fried everything.
Darn hard to have a bad time duckpin bowling and eating nachos. 🦆📌🎳
Oh. And someone complemented my hair, which is always nice.

At this point in American history, it's beyond irresponsible to be a political reporter and not have complete familiarity with groypers (and their conflicts with Kirk).

Again, @brianstelter.bsky.social Mr. Middle of the Plate? Mr Cooler Heads? Care to weigh in?
Do any of the “Charlie Kirk did politics the right way” crowd have the courage to directly defend lying about election results, bussing people to Jan. 6, and advocating pardons of convicted seditionists? Does US politics need more lying, coup attempts and violence?
Or do they always keep it vague?

Ezra Klein and @theargumentmag.bsky.social people are in the same very lucrative business that Charlie Kirk was in: serving increasingly elaborate comforting narratives to people and groups in power. Status threat shapes everything in our political culture.

If I don't see multiple ~media reporters~ columns about the extraordinarily irresponsible Wall Street Journal report from yesterday morning — and their extensive promotion of that inflammatory report — you all should just pack up and go home.

I have two professor colleagues who have faced threats and harassment due to the organization Charlie Kirk built, and they were not alone. We can denounce and loathe political violence without hagiography for its victims. This is dangerous nonsense.
"But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness."

My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs Kirk and family at this difficult time. Violence is rarely the way.
(But my brain can do a lot of stuff, all at once.)
I also think that this will be a damn distraction from the only issue (Epstein) that has touched the president in years.
