If Warren is against it, generally means it’s a terrible idea!

#hamsterwatch2025 has ended. Mr. Pancakes passed peacefully, likely on November 6th, while we were on the road. He was the best boy.

Drove through Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia yesterday. Beautiful scenery. Stunning. Very very little insane Trumper stuff.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

I mean my parents were cowards who left New York 40 years ago.
(Noted: neither were rich. Both had degrees from SUNY schools but when we moved my dad was a roofer & mom was a SAHM. I was three.)

In my own mind’s eye, I am a teenager, and despite having typical teenage things on my mind, I am joyfully skanking my days away.
In present corporal form, I am lamenting not being asleep.

So much of what happened yesterday is a direct consequence of Lindsey’s courage, both in speaking up initially and then campaigning to ensure the world didn’t forget about what had happened, even as it seemed like it would all be ignored

Headed to TN tomorrow, driving, stopping & staying at roughly the halfway point in SC.
Off to a wedding, the younger sister of one of my very closest friends, and while I cannot wait to see my people, I am a little nervous about the trip (more so about last minute changes we’ll have to make).

This is so good—and in particular, I feel like in all the buzz about what a great campaign Mamdani ran, this point often gets lost
He started by—guess what—*talking to people who voted for Trump.* He went on the Bulwark podcast. He went on Fox News. He demonstrated a willingness to talk to anyone
