This part caught my attention in Winters's essay because my chronic, low-grade question is "who's raising these boys?" Probably, in part, a dude setting an example in 'tuning mom out.'

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago
Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

You cannot make this stuff up. #ICE indiscriminately spraying pepper spray into cars while driving by should be immediate felony assault.

In this instance, tack on felony child endangerment + whatever else puts them away forever. They maced a 1-year-old baby FFS.
From the ICE_Raids community on Reddit: ICE pours a large canister of pepper spray directly into family car, hitting 1-year-old baby. "They were simply shopping at Sam's Club," said Matt, who filmed t...

there was a screenshot that i'm trying to find from today that essentially had Senate Democrats going "yeah we won the election so we waited a couple of days to concede"
Senate Democrats think this is the appropriate response because they begin every conflict with the assumption they will lose, and then ask “How can we end this as quickly as possible while creating the appearance of having tried to win so the base isn’t mad?”
I truly don’t know how you look at the past week and THEN decide THIS is an appropriate — let alone the right — response.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

No, the concession from Democrats is voting to fund the government. The failure to extend ACA funds isn't a concession they're making, it's a concession they failed to get in return. In other words, they gave up something in exchange for nothing.
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:

—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
—Led by King/Shaheen/Hassan

“Guaranteeing a vote” that you will lose is yet again reliance on the “You’re gonna look so bad dude” shit that has worked exactly zero times. Sorry for the posts about the same thing I feel like I am going insane

I’m honestly just generally tired of every single fucking thing in the world being about NYC
World War Zohran is the dumbest fucking media narrative of the entire year, and I'm including all the simping for Trump.

We've got actual lunatics turning the entire executive branch, and even the literal White House, into rubble, and the existential threat is some silly socialist mayor in NYC?
