PBS has lost $1.1 billion in funding.
Although it would take over 18 million new subscribers to cover the loss, ANY subscribers to PBS Passport will help.
It is only $5 a month.
And there are many shows on PBd you may be interested in!

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

This is better than what I was taught, "Never put anything in an email you wouldn't want on the evening news."
I put lots of things in emails I wouldn't want on the evening news, but would feel comfortable (if a little embarrassed) reading to a jury.

Seeing a few comments about “dead rapists bringing down living rapists”.
Let’s be clear.
It’s not Epstein that has Trump and MAGA on the defensive. It’s not Epstein that had a former Prince stripped of his title.
It’s the survivors of Epstein’s abuse. It’s the women who refused to be silent.

Even if you don’t care about people who use drugs - you really should care about other people - they will still just lie that you are a person who uses drugs when they want other people not to care about you
After José's arrest sparked outrage in August, DHS attacked him in a press release, calling him a "criminal illegal alien, not a firefighter." DHS has cited a 12-year-old drug delivery charge while failing to acknowledge the charge was dismissed.

I wish they'd focus in practical capabilities for robots instead of "looks and moves like a humanoid."
What would be most useful, imo, is a robot that can assist someone fragile out of bed, out of a recliner, and off the toilet. And recognize when someone is on the floor and call 911.

Also, if you are just rewording MAGA talking points, maybe reconsider?
Weird how at some point the ACA subsidies went from meaningless technocrat babble that it was obviously incredibly stupid for Democrats to try protecting to being incredibly important for helping people avoid suffering.
And Democrats managed to get it wrong both times!! What were the odds?

Republican senators are saying unserious things because they know exactly what the shut-down is doing to their careers (and what is left of the Republican brand).
Republicans waged a relentless, decades-long campaign to privatize Medicare and Medicaid
They fought even mild efforts to expand public insurance
Now they are objecting to extending extra ACA subsidies, supposedly because money flows to private insurers
We are supposed to take this seriously?

My guess is that angry constituents that couldn't see family over Thanksgiving and the stock market's reaction to lackluster Black Friday sales will be what brings Republican senators to the negotiation table.
I am not convinced that will be enough to get Johnson to bring the House back, but 🤞.

Bugs Bunny just got Daffy Duck to yell “No, it’s duck season!” and insist on hanging up a big DUCK SEASON sign, but because it’s Chuck Schumer y’all are livid over how he did it by first putting up a RABBIT SEASON sign.
