That’s the start of a fave old bartending joke. I watch Jeopardy the way most people watch football. I’ve been everything from warehouse rat to corporate drone to singing telegram performer to medical courier. Retirement means crocheting & watching hockey.

Yes, how about a minimum standard of living for all people, and if you can grow beyond that, good for you.
Everyone should have a roof over their heads, food on their plates, and health care they can afford.

Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.

Jeanne Shaheen now saying she voted yes because it guarantees a vote on the ACA. Does she not realize that a vote does not mean passage? The house and Trump will not accept it. So the "guaranteed" vote is just a gesture. I have a gesture for her:

Should be pretty clear that without House commitment on a vote on ACA extensions, it is purely symbolic as part of the Senate deal
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.
If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.
But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.
Miss me with this bs.

What exactly does it *mean*, or imply, or demand, that a privileged 23-year-old is responsible for killing millions of poor people? How does a liberal society handle the fact that this happened?

JFC - they can’t afford to feed hungry children or give people healthcare, but $200 MILLION for a ballroom is a-okay.

In my continuing search for big & little items, discovered 2 new to me items in the Napa Valley, along with the Grape Crysher I had forgotten about. We drove by the first 2 too fast for me to get my own photo

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled.
Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year.
This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.
Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.
Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.
No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

So we used to live where someone on the next block had a really barky dog that sounded exactly like our dog, except our dog rarely barked & spent most of his days inside where the A/C was. A neighbor left a nasty note accusing us of leaving him outside to bark all day (1 of 2)
