@schumer.senate.gov, you do not have a deal and you know you do not have a deal. We don't want a future vote on an ACA extension, we need it saved *now*.
If you can't do that, then in the words of Leo Amory to Neville Chamberlain in 1940, "In the name of God, go!"

I first started listening to the Dead in 1981, so the '70s concerts were the tapes most in circulation, and Donna was of course part of that sound. 1970s Dead is still beautiful all these years later.

I appreciate Dick Cheney coming out for equal marriage and against Trump, *but* never forget he approved of torture, lied us into an unnecessary war, instigated the so-called war on terror, and was an architect of the 'imperial presidency'. Trump is partly *because* of him, not in spite of him.

I’ll give Dick Cheney props for one thing. When he said New York would have a Muslim mayor over his dead body, he really meant it… 😳

I am a single issue voter in 2028 and that issue is putting a whole lot of motherfuckers in jail for the rest of their fucking lives.
a good evening to remember that the statute of limitations for a lot of federal crimes is longer than five years, and that state crimes cannot be pardoned by the President.

File under 'Stupid Science Headlines': no, they are *not* "evolving in reverse" or "de-evolving". They are evolving to fit their environment and that favors expressing ancient traits that haven't been used in a while. Evolution is a one-way process: forward.

Tomatoes in The Galapagos Islands Appear to Be Evolving in Reverse
The idea of evolution backtracking isn't a completely new idea, but catching it in action isn't an everyday experience.

We didn't have many contested offices on the ballot this year—all but one council seat and the school board were uncontested, and they're pretty much all endorsed Democrats even if they technically have to run as non-partisan.

Bipartisan deal reached on new Ohio congressional map - Signal Ohio
The deal boosts Republican odds of flipping three Democratic seats while blocking Democrats' threats to put the map up for a statewide vote.

Well, here we go again. @moderation.bsky.app (which as far as I can tell is just a 'bot that counts reports and doesn't actually, you know, LOOK at reports) has bounced @merryjest.live again. Because moderation here is a damned joke that makes knee-jerk responses look calm and reasoned.
