Why does Tillis even pretend that he cares about Trump’s abuses of power? He gave a big ol speech last week, he’s not running next year so no worries of voter blowback, but he still couldn’t be bothered to vote for a bill that addresses his big “concerns”?!?
NEWS: Senate votes 52-47 to advance a measure restricting Trump's power to use military force in Venezuela.
A rare warning shot from Congress to Trump as he dials up foreign rhetoric.
Voting YES: Democrats + Rand Paul, Collins, Murkowski, Young, Hawley.

Senate advances measure to restrict Trump's power to use military force in Venezuela
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine, who led the bipartisan resolution, said that Trump's actions in Venezuela are "clearly illegal" because he did not seek congressional approval.

Today is officially the end of something, start of something.. not exactly sure what to call it but today is the day I reversed the direction of the ceiling fan. Not planning on needing the cooling effects anymore until spring. Not exactly the start of winter, but adjacent?

It’s a fun time to have a gay, trans son because now I get to do thought experiments, like in the future will my state/country recognize my son’s marriage as a gay marriage or will they refuse to recognize his gender so on paper his marriage appears straight?

Had an issue with Verizon recently- our plan comes with a call blocker feature meant to block spam calls. For the past three days, my dad’s (who is definitely in my contacts, I have him marked to alert in ALL modes) calls have all gone to voicemail, as if he was spam.

One thing that sucks about middle age is if you have any trusted service provider that you found when you entered adulthood, they are probably retiring. My PCP, my psychiatrist, and my dentist have all retired after over a decade of being their patient.

His only strategy to end the shut down is to dangle federal workers in front of Dems. “I’m gonna torture these hostages until you give me what I want” is his strategy. Bold strategy to be a terrorist against and the head of an organization.
Q: Why do you say some federal workers should not get their backpay?
TRUMP: Well, you're gonna have to figure that out. Ask the Democrats

I think this type of reporting that note Trump’s absence from the public are so helpful. Not because I think “did he die” discourse is important, but bc if it spreads to MSM he is pressured into showing his face. Challenges his ego, he will override advisors who are trying to shield him from us.
Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today

What’s kinda crazy is that after all the political wrangling and centrist shaming that forced university’s to allow so many of these RW hate purveyors access to college campuses, this shooting might actually slow that down.

Is MAGA unintentionally reversing long held gender roles in America? Hear me out- first, they are targeting young men with the message that college is a waste, and they should pursue physically demanding trade jobs which have less upward mobility and hard to make it to retirement age.
Poll: Gen Z's gender divide reaches beyond politics and into its views on marriage, children and success
Gen Z men who backed Trump in 2024 rated having children at the top of a list of choices of how to define personal success. Gen Z women who backed Harris rated it second to last.

I have been thinking a lot lately about young men in America, and the current focus on some unique crisis they are experiencing. My first reaction when this became a hot topic was anger. I’m still extremely enraged that women (esp young women) have lost their rights to bodily autonomy.

I know we are all enjoying dunking on Bill Belichick and UNC right now, but can we expand our mocking to the NCGOP hostile takeover versions of the UNC board of governors and board of trustees that green lit this whole situation?

This is just a month ago. You can see how fragile and arthritic my boy Otis was. But he was still obviously enjoying life. He went down hill from here. Could barely stand up out of his bed in the morning. So thankful I got to have this good boy in my life for 14+ years. Our home is so quiet now.

I haven’t been on Bluesky much recently-summer has been very busy. Have my son home from college, which is wonderful. But my bestest boy Otis has been basically on doggie hospice for months now. We had to say goodbye yesterday. Had him since he was a pup, for 14 wonderful years, my heart hurts.

I know we agree that Congress Dems are too old, and we need younger blood.. but y’all I’m still very happy about this! Cooper has won four statewide elections in NC. He is well known and respected. He has moderate “vibes” but he governed pretty progressively. Strong on women’s and trans rights.
“Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has decided to run for North Carolina’s open U.S. Senate seat and plans to announce his campaign before the end of the month, people familiar with the Democrat’s plans told WRAL News.”
