New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

Of course the critic you have to read on Diane Keaton is the critic with the best style, @szacharek.bsky.social: time.com/7325208/dian...

The Astonishing Versatility of Diane Keaton

Keaton, who died at 79, is often remembered for her comedic performance in Annie Hall, but she did so much more throughout her career.

Trump is a crime boss who tries to cow everyone and make them complicit, so he owns them. Our education system cannot give in!

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.
