This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown

love to send unprompted texts to buddies with some mutually loved and admired piece of music and just ask “have you guys heard this record?”

The 30 Rock episode with “how do you do, fellow kids?” is closer to the release of Windows 98 than it is to today.
I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.

So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

it seems like if you believed this an obvious takeaway for unmarried young men would be to take Mamdani as a role model: move to the left, be generally positive, and engage with the community in a way that shows you care about it

Hammock’s Columbus soundtrack is something I go back to over and over and over again
Best movie score that is rarely mentioned when great movie scores are discussed, maybe because it's unconventional?

I think my number one is Neil Young's score for Jim Jarmusch's Western Dead Man.

really enjoyed reading Drew’s reflection on The Postmortal. in addition to being a really compelling and unsettling story, it strikes me now how eerily accurate it is now on how we live our lives regularly bombarded by the most unhinged shit.
“I don't think I've seen a Defector official Muppet power ranking. Feels like something you would all have opinions on. For my money, it's the Swedish Chef. Honorable mention to Statler and Waldorf.” FUNBAG!

donald trump holds only two principled position: that neither corruption nor rape should be crimes
I’m very skeptical of this — not because President Trump isn’t willing to grant pardons and commutations easily, but because there is zero interest from his base in this, and he has nothing to gain from doing it.

And here come the “he’s trying to distract,” replies.

Insane. Tearing down the White House without legal authorization in order to build a palace ballroom for himself. It will of course need to be demolished.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
