I like movies, books, your cute pets, travel, and not seeing Elon Musk’s big stupid face here. I’ll be stress eating cheese until further notice.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Just want to see one (1) news story on how toxic the Republican brand is among average, everyday Northeast urbanites, and how that should be seen as a major crisis for Republicans. Unfortunately I won’t bc this is still a country where cows and empty land get strong political representation

In light of immigration enforcement operations in the West Chicago area, Audrey Luhmann got together with a team of rapid responders to deliver candy to two area apartment complexes that she said were recently hit by immigration raids.
And that’s how reverse trick-or-treating was born.
