This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

If every Muslim voter in Dearborn voted for Harris, she still would have lost Michigan.
If she had won Michigan, she STILL WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION.
If you want to blame voters for current conditions, feel free to blame the actual demographic responsible for Trump and that is WHITE PEOPLE.

I follow r/vintagemenus and I have long wondered at the presence of celery on about ever menu in the first half of the 20th century. Happy to stumble across an explanation!
I don’t really like cooked celery (raw is delicious) but this was very interesting history nevertheless:

Summer of '95 I had a job assembling single-use film cameras, which I did enough that I can still perform the actions. I don't think they even sell them anymore, but even if they do I'm certainly never going to be making them again!

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t

Feeling alarmed isn’t hysteria, it’s civic literacy.
Every democracy that slid into authoritarianism reached this stage: when partisan leaders in SCOTUS, Congress, and the Cabinet stop acting as checks and start acting as shields for the regime.

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site.
By that I mean BAD PR.
I’m simply asking for an apology. That’s it.
