Yep — that looks like insane doodle eyes. I know them well. (Probably entirely wrong as I’ve only had one dog, the current one, my entire life)

Agree.
Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

What is it about the water in NH, Maine and the like that produces such spineless vessels and then elevates them to public office? Hassan, Shaheen, Collins, King etc. They’re all the same person.

These people do nothing publically to stand up to daily atrocities, but they hurry to publically capitulate for the cameras. What a pathetic species of folks
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

To be so willingly stupid is to be complicit. She wants the misery. She revels in it.
I voted tonight to reopen the government and take action to protect health care for tens of millions of Americans. Here’s why:

It’s been a pretty dull match in the snow between York and Mount Royal in the U SPORTS final.
Just before the hour mark, York missed a penalty kick — this one feels like it’s going to go to a shootout.
Still scoreless.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Villains used to obfuscate. They looked normal on tv and said things like "Fiscal discipline." Now you have grotesque guys hissing "Empathy is weakness" like a cartoon
I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

I've got nothing witty or insightful, just this -- fuck Musk. Just, fuck that guy. Wotta asshole. Saying it while we can. Everybody on earth would have to say it 125 times to equal his salary. I dunno, maybe worth a shot.
To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

By global standards, Mamdani is a pretty standard liberal. By American standards, he's the second coming of Lenin.
But he's doing a great job of reminding people that a politician can be a civil servant who wants to make things better for everyone without having to knock anyone down in the process.

I missed that commitment writeup on insidesortofcarolina.com
One of my son's high school teammates plays ball there and I remember this exchange:
Son: "[Teammate] committed to Carolina"
Me: 👀
Son: *uncontrollable laughter*
And yeah, it's kind of a Bible college
