When are we gonna stop with this bullshit?
The problem is: half the country thinks the problem is income inequality, healthcare, the rising cost of living, and underfunding public education.
And the other half thinks the problem is immigrants, trans folk, and not enough low wage factory jobs.

Bluesky is extra spicy this morning I see.
Look, I hate it too. Healthcare is broken. Costs on everything keep going up. The government is mostly broken.
But sometimes you have to accept your losses.

If MLS can’t convince fotmob to display a three game series correctly I dunno that they should be doing this format.
Fotmob’s brackets show aggregate scores of the three games. Aggregate score is totally irrelevant. I’m annoyed.

Just donated to my local food bank. Gonna try and eat only canned goods rice and beans from my pantry everyday till SNAP is restored, and donate what I would have spent on lunch to the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank.
It’d be great if, instead of this, the Federal government actually worked, tho.

I always avoid reading Ross Douthat's work in the NYT.
And with his piece 'Did liberal feminism ruin the workplace?' I am continuing that tradition.
(Why the hell does this man still have a job?)

I feel like Schulte could be our number one if given the chance. Turner’s our 1 or 2.
However, the ACTUAL best gks in the pool since May are Sean Johnson, Matt Turner, Brad Stuver, Matt Freese, and Roman Celentano.

4) Josh Sargent: healthy, left out.
5) I really don't know what calling up Gio Reyna accomplishes. Shoulda used his spot on a newbie.

Be careful what you wish for.
Democrats wanted to end the filibuster when they had a slim majority. Now they love it. Based on recent election results, the Senate flipping back to blue seems like a definite possibility in 2 or 4 years.

Also, I think I only saw it function as a fountain once.

Just let me and Doyle chair a constitutional convention.
We’d fix the US government AND restructure the US Soccer pyramid all in one go.
We’d fix the US government AND restructure the US Soccer pyramid all in one go.
Go from 9 to 18 and the longest-tenured justice retires every two years. Single 18-year terms.
Every president gets to appoint two, the make-up of the court is always evolving, and you avoid having justices who are too young or too old.

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

he’s gonna run around striking trade deals with countries, one by one, to lower tariffs he created
while people go hungry
and migrants are deported
and prices go up
and healthcare becomes unaffordable
