Living in New Hampshire means not only do I get regular and ample reason to call and yell at my senators, I also myself get to receive messages from blue state friends asking me to call and yell at my senators

In a way I am a proxy elected, against my will

The emerging deal will be that Democrats get fuck all and then go on thanksgiving break while 41.7 million people slip into food insecurity.

Fucking hell
Senate Democrats are meeting behind closed doors to discuss the emerging deal. “Stay tuned,” Schumer tells us with a grin.

If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:
190. SNAP WTF?

I hope he lived long enough to change his mind on some topics.

If nothing else, his life showed that even the deepest legacies of science & discovery do not overcome personal accountability in word and deed.

What could possibly go wrong?
OpenAI is asking the U.S. government for loan guarantees to fund its staggering $1 .4 trillion+ AI infrastructure build-out.

Basically if OpenAI can’t come up with the money after taking out loans then taxpayers will bail them out.

They finally played the “Too Big To Fail” card.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
