@schumer.senate.gov has no plan, he's just not willing to give up his ride on the gravy train.
Remember that the only 3 things politicians care about is making money, staying elected, and screwing over the other party. Worry about constituents only occurs if it benefits one of the first 3.

I've made Russia a lot like #Halloween    pumpkin. Trying to look scary on outside but inside everything of value has been cut out with the rest set on fire.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

Bask in the unfeasible glory that is Aotearoa New Zealand's only locally designed and built Tank.

A turreted corrugated armour nightmare box festooned with machine guns, precariously balanced upon the chassis of an unmodified 1940s farm bulldozer.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

#China: It has been two years since Minnie Chan, a defence reporter at the #SCMP, disappeared during a trip to Beijing after covering a military conference. As the general indifference surrounding her case raises fears of state repression, RSF urges the Chinese regime to disclose her whereabouts.

Disappearance of Hong Kong journalist in China deeply concerning

Remember when Texas Dems broke quorum & in response TX AG Paxton & Gov Abbot demanded their arrest & removal from office?

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of last 100 days, absent since Sept 19, & he still won't swear in Rep-elect Grijalva.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Inflatable Halloween costumes are really more of a long-term investment this year given how effective they are in fighting fascism.

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets

Library (archives, research) folk, could you give me your best one liners about Why Cataloguing Matters, please?

Because sometimes 'Without cataloguing no-one can find or use the stuff' just isn't enough, although it clearly should be.

Thank you very. #GLAM #archives #rarebooks #metadata 📚

Day 1346 of my 3 day war. Pokrovsk had a pre-war population of 60,000. I've lost 120,000 casualties to capture half of it.

I remain a master strategist.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
