Mussels cooked in wine are always lovely, that’s true, but I implore you to try cooking them in beer: its light bitterness is the perfect foil to their rich sweet flesh. And this is why my Dutch Mussels are #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/dutc...

The Dutch do love their mussels, honoured there as zwarte goud — black gold — although it’s true that their neighbours the Belgians unfairly get more credit for them. Of course, you don’t need to make...

Trump has now overseen the two longest government shutdowns in history — with the current one reaching 36 days.
He ran on fixing a broken system and helping working people.
Instead, he’s making the system even worse and shafting working people by gutting the social safety net.

Yes, because this is the lesson you should take from the election.
After Democrats’ triumphant election night, President Trump is pushing Republican senators to abolish the filibuster and reopen the government without help from the other party.
Trump ramps up pressure on his own party to nix the filibuster as shutdown drags on
After meeting with Trump, some Republican senators appear more open to nuking the 60-vote filibuster rule. But GOP Leader John Thune says, "It's just not happening."

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

The Fix Our Forests Act is being billed as a bipartisan solution to our wildfire crisis. I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but it'll only make fires worse. Here's why: wessiler.substack.com/p/why-the-fi...
Why The Fix Our Forests Act Won’t Fix Our Forests
A bipartisan group of lawmakers realize they need something to show voters in the mid-terms. The resulting bill achieves nothing beyond careless harm to our national forests.

Tylenol, folate deficiency, and other still-undetermined “environmental factors” were all to blame.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.
