I mean they weren't trading for a receiver because Hunter was gonna be back in three weeks.

Ahh yes, "shame on them."

That'll pay my family members' medical bills, thanks Senator.
Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

They have the Presidency.

They have the Senate.

They have the House.

They have an illegitimate Supreme Court.

THEY DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING HELP, CHUCK.

WHY ARE YOU BAILING OUT THE GOP, DEMOCRATS? YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WOULD FIND A WAY TO LOSE HOLDING 21 AT A BLACKJACK TABLE.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Trump was literally bragging that Dems were about to cave on Fox, during a football game. Once again, Dems shoot themselves in the foot and willingly make themselves the villain.
If Dems accept this deal, it will help the GOP cement the following ideas into the public conscience over the coming 4 weeks:

-Shutdown was Dems fault/responsibility
-They did it for nothing
-They caved to Trump

Having accepted responsibility, it will also cripple them in the follow up debate.
First, I will say this: never believe an Axios backed story with only a Thune test vote schedule.

That being said, for obvious reasons to anyone who sees my posts regularly, I don't think a deal is a good idea for Dems, but the rumored deal seems pretty poor even factoring in my priors against.

IMO there are two legitimate goals to non-cooperation (which would likely lead to shutdown):

-Demonstrate Dem opposition & non-complicity
-End filibuster

It's almost like an incredibly soft, front-loaded schedule made people believe he was suddenly significantly better than he has consistently shown us he is over the course of a pretty mediocre career.

Makes me feel really great about trading our '26 and '27 firsts, I tell you what.
that's 10 combined fumbles and INTs the last 7 quarters for Daniel Jones

On a serious note, MLS needs to ditch the ridiculous three-game series shit. Waaaaay too many penalty shootouts in the *first round* of the playoffs.

Get over yourselves and go back to the European model.

That was an extremely satisfying Sounders choke job.

Before I was an NBA writer, I was a pro poker player for 12 years. I played against many pro athletes, including Ty Lue a few times.

Here's a snapshot of that period of my life, and thoughts on Lue's alleged connection to Chauncey Billups' private game:

Tyronn Lue's reputation inside the Las Vegas poker circles was a good one among us professional players.

I’m looking for a paid role in FF podcasting or writing. Pretty good with numbers and more of a strategist than player take or film analyst. If you see a vacant position or are hiring please let me know. Thanks!

I really need someone to ask:

Democrats stood up here and told us the economy was actually fine and then got the breaks beat off of them in '24. You did the same, and just lost massively in '25. Why do you think this is going to work this time?

You can't lie to people about their bills.
Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "Core inflation is nearing its lowest level in four years." (Inflation actually ticked up in September.)

I'm young enough to remember when some people believed that the human rights violations happening in the United States would result in the FIFA World Cup not being held in here in 2026... The FIFA that accepted bribes to host the Cup in Qatar and Putin's Russia.

They're 100% giving this to Trump.
