Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

We are literally mad about your failure to fight the real dangers.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Perhaps someone @honda can help related to the standards for “HondaTru?”
Single mom of a single mom here. Anyone have advice about how to hold a NC dealership accountable for duplicity about a basic maintenance issue?

Very practical question. The major auto dealership from which I bought my car in NC is giving me the run-around. To whom do I report them?

So, you trusted a guy whose guiding light is an imaginary family who hates him that lives in his brain in charge of the only official lever of potential power against the regime.

Many of my friends have healthcare through ACA. It was already expensive, and their projected costs are now impossible.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

One weird trick to lower your blood pressure: leaving a strongly-worded voicemail telling Chuck Schumer not to let them fuck over the ACA.
a good reminder to Never Trust Axios. also, if you're worried, calling or emailing your senators to scream at them not to cave is a good way to channel your rage!
it’s very difficult at this point to figure out if there is actual movement towards a Dem cave or just a Republican whisper campaign to Axios to make it seem like there’s a Dem cave and I’m going to hold my fire on any of it until something actually happens (or not)
