It’s the obvious orchestration that really gets me. Schumer obviously managed the votes so nobody up for election in 2026 had to vote to reopen.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Downtown Portland. Today was my daughter’s first protest. We didn’t make it through the entire march, but I was proud of her.

Again, it's very weird how everyone--Democrats, Republicans, media, everyone--just pretends Republicans can't just eliminate the filibuster and past the CR today.

Something that’s always amazed me about the strip is how Trudeau has characters in place to respond to just about anything happening in the world.

Cut to the Supreme Court using the shadow docket to rule that ICE may deny all access to Room 101.
In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Good thread from someone in Portland. She’s absolutely right about the political complexity and weirdness of Portland.
Bluesky's userbase tilts pretty far towards liberals (gonna count progs as libs, but apologetically and with all due respec). But to everyone calling this place an outlier / echo chamber let me give you some admittedly unscientific anecdata:

Elon Musk Is an Evil Piece of Garbage—and an A-Level Fraud Too
He is stupid. He is incompetent. He is cruel. He is sinister. And people will die because of what he’s done.
