Is this before or after the December 2 special election in Tennessee that could end up with a new Republican congressman that would make Grijalva’s Epstein vote meaningless?

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Millennium Actress. Was already fully in the bag for Satoshi Kon after finally seeing Perfect Blue last year, but this was on a whole other level. Said on Letterboxd that I’m beginning to think he might be the greatest filmmaker of them all, and I’m still leaning that way
What is the best movie not from this year that you’ve seen this year? Bonus points if you say why

Folks saying that this is a wise move because Republicans will own whatever happens to ACA subsidies: Even if that were true, which is doubtful, do you know what’s better than that? Actually having those subsidies. I’d take oooooh… having health insurance? Over a chess move that probably won’t work?

They’ve all gotta go. Every one of them. And if we can somehow topple Fetterman twice, just for me, that’d be great
Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

if the Senate has an ACTUAL leader she would be in a back room somewhere telling Kaine and King that they won’t even be able to get a seat on the holiday party planning committee for the rest of their natural lives if they don’t slink their narrow asses back to their own side of the aisle

QUICK, DEMS, CAPITULATE FASTER!
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.

Genuinely convinced this was a move to stop the enthusiasm. We’re trapped in a cage with sociopaths and we’ll only escape if we gnaw through the bars. Luckily, I’ve been grinding my teeth for decades and my jaw muscles are READY
Moderate Democrats saw that voters were energized and might expect something from them, so they needed to put a stop to that ASAP

A final update from Quirk Books Union ✊💔 Devastated that, in the three months since we unionized, management never met the union at the bargaining table -- and now the remaining four union members have all been laid off.

I called @markey.senate.gov & @warren.senate.gov to beg them to do whatever's in their power to stop Democrats from caving. Ending the shutdown at the expense of the American people & their rights is shameful. I will no longer be able to call myself a Democrat if this party cannot hold the line.

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.
