I am embarrassed that she is one my senators.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

It's unfathomable to me that there is a group of people, leading our country, who are APPEALING the ruling that, yes, you have to feed the people you serve. You can't just let them starve because you feel like it. Rank evil that shakes some of my beliefs about humanity, frankly.
The FAA plans to reduce air traffic by 10% at busy airports. And, a federal judge orders the Trump administration to fully restore SNAP food benefits by today, which it plans to appeal. n.pr/47tl2QF

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

You still want to believe the political fuel that powers the American collapse into authoritarianism isn't the deep, abiding resentment of white men who pine for an America that sees and services only them? Gaze upon Leni Riefenstahl's recent work for Donald Trump's U.S. Department of Labor.

Plotting our next National Park coast-to-coast road trip, but since it won’t come until June, I would expect there might be one or two shorter adventures along the East Coast this winter.

I am a @peterbakernyt.bsky.social fan, however, that last sentence in his post is just more weak sauce by mainstream media.
An obituary for the East Wing, home to first ladies, military aides, presidential cats and White House Super Bowl parties, demolished this week after 123 years to make room for Trump's grand ballroom. Many mourn though some say a change is needed. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

I dunno. Something about all the pics from yesterday. The big zoomed out ones with endless speckles of humans. Close ups on individual participants. I don’t know where we go to upend the fascism and fix the damage, but feels like something.

@msnbc.com, you could really use these kinds of insights that @matthewjdowd.bsky.social regularly shares.
Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.
