Lifelong Democrat looking for street fighters in her party that will take the gloves off, burn them, put on brass knuckles, and get some Nate Romanowski mojo working on the opposition.

These people are ridiculous. As soon as I write this I'm going to write to the DSCC--to which I donate every month--and tell them to get behind Graham.

Effing ridiculous. Get out of the way of new people and energy in the Democratic party! Hey, I'm old too, and I know when it's time to leave!

I'm glad he's an "adult" now so I can comment on how weird looking he is.

Are any members of that family really adults? I don't think so.

Man, he has been on the front line! More hugs and maybe a little smooch for extra thanks are in order. He's part of the team that held us all together.

So, these twerps want to punish Blue states and cities? They want to pull funding? Do these dipsticks know where the majority of that funding comes from? The top 3 states contributing to federal funding are California, Massachusetts, and my home state--Washington.

I don't pray, but I get you.

Impressive, not only that your son has such good taste but that you introduced him to a song that was released just two years after you were born! Apparently, nascent excellent taste runs in the family.

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown…

Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time.

Five star rating for Pudwhacker. I may have to, ahem, borrow that term in the future. Usually I call him a dickheaded moron or just a dickhead.

Very well deserved, and as soon as the nominations are open again, I'm going to put your name in for the Profiles In Courage award. I've done it 2 years running, and I'm going to continue until they give it to you.

I don't doubt your assertions here at all, but what are your information sources?

It's a good start. I ditched all the extra stuff years ago because I really can't afford it and I haven't missed it. I am encouraging everyone I know to cancel. Speak with your wallet.

I was young when that song came out. Good memory.

I'm disappointed the House Oversight questioning of Alex Acosta is being held behind closed doors. Maybe it's the only way they could get him?

Put it into quotes, change 'we' to 'they', and it could be King Charles' thought bubble.

Mary Ellen @qtrinchseam.bsky.social · Sep 13

That's called winning. Congrats!

Your words are exactly what I would have said and did say. When a person deals in lies and hate, those lies and hate will come back to them in some way.

I will really miss you and your wisdom on Deadline Whitehouse, Matt.
