On the topic of a 3rd potus term, I can't shake the memory of Barrett's evasive answer on 22A in an interview last month when asked if it would be an easy decision:
"Welll, that’s, you know, that’s what the amendment says, right? You know, after FDR had four terms, that’s what that amendment says."

The very least the company owes its workers is good faith negotiations for a fair contract and to END their illegal union-busting.

This week Open AI walked back a call for the govt to backstop financing for its trillion dollar investments in data centers. This was only the tip of the iceberg; a slow bailout for AI firms is already underway. Read more from @ambakak.bsky.social and I in @wsj.com: www.wsj.com/opinion/you-...

Anti-abortion politicians will stop at nothing to control our bodies, lives, and futures.
The scientific evidence overwhelmingly shows that medication abortion is safe and effective, and we'll never stop fighting for our reproductive freedom.

Interesting. A man gets out of his car at an intersection, pulling a gun on the woman in the car behind him. A cop sees this and stops to assist the woman. The man claims that he is an ICE agent and the woman was following him. She says she lives nearby. This could have ended badly, . . .

NOW: Voting is underway on the shutdown deal in the House. So far, dems Gluesenkamp Perez, Adam Gray, and Jared Golden have voted yes. So the dems couldn't get unanimity on this in the House, either.
