Ok, how does this lifeboat inflate? Can I even do this without senpais to notice me?
I have opinions on things, especially DC theatre, especially ones that got a major critic to block me on that other hellsite. They are mine, but you can borrow them.

I have so many issues with WaPo editorial, but I greatly appreciate how the news side keeps after the ongoing story of the regime's theft of the Kennedy Center. WNO and NSO have to get out. Grenell clearly doesn't want NSO patron $$ anyway, so eff him. 🎁🔗 wapo.st/3Jx31I7
FIFA will use Kennedy Center free of charge for World Cup event, contract says
The Kennedy Center booked the World Cup draw at President Donald Trump’s urging. It will occupy much of the campus and displace planned performances.

Does Fox think there's a ribbon cutting scheduled? What is that chyron?
Hannity: When did you notice Biden’s cognitive decline?
Miller: I think it was through all of the times that Trump has fallen asleep in public and talked about magnets getting wet.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

As my mom reminded me, everyone has always known Dick Durbin only cares about Dick Durbin. We're seeing the messaging that Dick Durbin thinks benefits Dick Durbin, and that's the problem here. He's incapable of leadership, should never have been put there, and survival instinct should cut him loose.
This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

On this Veterans Day, more than any before, let us remember the valiant service of Black, Hispanic, Navajo, Japanese and other non-white Americans who fought bravely for the ideals of a country that failed to live up to them, and whose legacy a racist GOP is desperately trying to erase.
Two panels highlighting the role of African American soldiers in the liberation of the Netherlands have been removed from the American Military Cemetary Margraten. The Cemetary is controlled by the AMBC, and the panels were removed in line with current Trump policy.

The people who financialized (and then destroyed) the housing market in the mid 2000s did not care about building homes. Similarly this kind of sweaty shell game makes me very suspicious of the AI sales pitch.

I am making external recriminations because unlike you and the staffers who wrote this, I gave up getting paid for 5 weeks because I thought unity was happening, not me getting the shaft because I am clearly on the outside. Federal employees hold the line, and you all took the fork.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Drivetime doesn't sell health insurance. No one is making their own deal.
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"

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.
