Look I’ve been much more lenient on Jeffries thinking he has to do a bit of politicking here and there that I won’t like, but might be necessary. This, however, is another level of of tone deafness that’s baffling. The guy needs to be primaried.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

NEO, a new humanoid robot that can do housekeeping, has the internet buzzing. The hosts of "Hard Fork" met with Bernt Bornich, the chief executive of the company 1X, which created the robot, and got to put NEO to the test. nyti.ms/47MhkAo

I am surprised he had heard about the election results.
Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

"I have not checked the results yet to comment"
Is Mike Johnson going to say "I don't know" when asked about tonight's election results?

This is a must read article for everyone. Efficiently drills down into factors driving the actions of the personnel in, and supporters of this administration. Also prescriptive in how best to counter.

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

Politics BlueSky is really ticking me off. Lots of grandstanding, hand wringing, and bluster but little content of value.
Really sad because I’m definitely not going back to that Bad Place.
Oh well - soccer banter it is then.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

MAGA: Dems have shut down the government!!!
BlueSky Progressives: Oh no - How dare they say that! They control three branches of the government; here's a complicated chart showing medicare benefits Rs are taking away in 3 years; and actually how a bill works is....
Gen public: So it's Dems fault?

Hey, what do you think is more likely guys:
Indian firms and US firms start hiring more US workers
Or
Indian firms and US firms start the biggest offshore program to do the work in India and China you’ve ever seen in your life causing a net drop in jobs for US workers

How do these Netflix shows like The Hostage mange to get high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes etc.? Flimsy storyline, plot holes galore, cringy dialogue … sad to see good actors like Julie Delpy get dragged through this muck.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk.
Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.
