at point blank range the right subway sandwich could give a guy high blood pressure!
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Trump redrew Texas to steal 5 seats and rig the House. California can’t sit back. We must fight back — vote Yes on Prop 50 to reclaim power or risk two more years under systemic oppression. #CAVoteYesProp50
He thinks we all get jobs in AI I guess or that we will all be making a bunch of money that will be put back into economy
Reality is so many won’t have good paying jobs and the go-jillionaires WONT be putting extra back into economy

Truth. I am no economist and those econ channels are mostly gibberish to me, but I swear listening to the bright and sunny descriptions of the current US economy in a govt. shutdown run by the 7 Deadly Sins personified, I feel like they're from another planet: Planet BS. #EconSky
Morgan Stanley chief income US strategist is selling economic delusion on Bloomberg right now
“There’s a lot of velocity in the real economy.”

We don't have this anymore, they're lying. There was a report this morning circling from Bloomberg and a couple other publications estimating 950k layoffs so far this year for various reasons. They will blame many things but profits.

We have a low hiring, now FIRING economy.

Virginia!!! It’s time to make a plan to vote for the Governor. The election is on November 4th and we can’t sit this one out.

No unimportant elections anywhere in the nation, fam! Let's get to it! 👏🏽🇺🇸

Come on, VA!
Virginians, we can’t afford to sit out this election tomorrow with so much at stake. Make your plan to vote NOW!
I’ll take any win across the board at this point those late edition polls for Jones have me worried
Also am interested to see if the announcement about districting next year moved the polls and in which direction
Merely to see the thought exercise- I still want them to do it if feasible

Would be a good outcome, although would love to see Spanberger a bit higher and Hashmi a couple points higher bluevirginia.us/2025/11/fina... h/t @matt4va.bsky.social
😩🙀I need eye bleach I can’t unsee that! Perhaps to save the retinas out there we blur over the “tyrannis corpulentus “
Themselves because EXACT same people in rural areas bitching about cities
Let the stores die “because of the market!”
So it seems to me that rural areas are welfare areas
Shutter the stores they voted for this and it seems they are getting what they wanted and voted for
They are expecting like farmers for Trump another bail out
And they’ll credit Republicans
Let’s stop kidding ourselves
They only want to help

Dolly Parton releases “9 to 5” 45 yrs ago today.

“I knew what it was like to be a working woman trying to make a decent living, trying to be taken seriously. .. I wanted a song that sounded playful on the surface but spoke to that frustration .. A song about women .. saying, ‘We deserve better.’”
Now can we get DCCC to sue for same reason?
