This is not astute political commentary, but I would be pretty surprised if this bill doesn't pass 51-50.

I don’t understand why this isn’t leading every paper. THIS is what anti-semitism looks like. As a Jew, THIS is what chills me.
i think i am going to be f**king sick to my stomach: someone appears to have tried to burn down gov josh shapiro’s house on passover
Fire at Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence was ‘act of arson’: State Police
Police said Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were able to safely evacuate after a fire — believed to be an “act of arson” — broke out at the Harrisburg mansion.

When books are written about this era, “We Can’t Count the Dead” is going to be a chapter title. Horrifying report by @stephanienolen.bsky.social about the destruction of USAID.
“People will die,” said Dr. @ckyobutungi.bsky.social, ED of @aphrc.bsky.social, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”
@stephanienolen.bsky.social covers the many cruel & dangerous cuts to lifesaving USAID projects.

I... don't know what to say. Forcibly moving nearly 2 million people from their homeland after being an active supporter of its destruction... there's really only the one term for that, isn't there?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social @daveweigel.bsky.social A dozen members of Congress are into the building but only through the general, building-wide entrance. No public visibility on whether they’re actually being allowed into AID.

There is an exquisite pervertion to making John Nkengasong, the former head of PEPFAR and the Africa CDC, deliver this news.
A CDC official, John Nkengasong, sent a memo to senior leaders at the agency Sunday night telling them that all agency staff who work with the WHO must immediately stop their collaborations and “await further guidance.” Story by @mikestobbe.bsky.social apnews.com/article/cdc-...
CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal
U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

I'm seeing "it's official" trend in the other place. I am choosing to focus on Zendaya and Tom. I will accept Detroit winning the NFC North and the 1 seed. I am not accepting other news at this time.

Feelings on #BBHOF ballot:
- Ichiro should be unanimous
- Sabathia not quite as good a candidate as thought but still should go in
- Don't love relievers in Hall but Wagner better than Hoffman/Smith
- Would def take Beltran over Andruw, even with the garbage-can banging
(cont'd)

The idea that the Chiefs would try to keep the Bengals out of the playoffs is ludicrous. If the Bengals end up playing the Chiefs somehow, it’s because they knocked out the Bills and Ravens. I don’t care how good Burrow’s been this year, those TEAMS are better. Chiefs want the best 7 seed possible.

I don’t think Daniel Jones is a bad guy or that he didn’t try hard in New York. He’s just not a franchise QB. For a backup QB he’s way above average and I wish him success in Minnesota.
