I would be outraged without having a granddaughter with autism, but that fact makes it so much more personal for me and my family. I’ll be there on Saturday…

A crystal clear explanation from @paulwaldman.bsky.social of the GOP's thinking, both now, as it pertains to their government shutdown, and looking ahead to the next couple of years.

Paul Waldman @paulwaldman.bsky.social · 16h

These two things are true at the same time:

1. Republicans don't care about health care

2. They may still try to destroy Obamacare once and for all

Remember, they've got a reconciliation bill next year, with no filibuster.

My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/republican...

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

One of our issues is we allow misinformation to be called "news" make it illegal to use the news moniker by an entertainment show. Make it that if you want to use the news moniker then keep opinion off your show and trust people to come to their own conclusions.
We can do better, we must do better.

A humorous cartoon showing ants voting at a ballot box labeled "Vote Insecticide." The text above reads, "OUT OF HATRED FOR THE COCKROACH, THE ANTS VOTED FOR INSECTICIDE, AND THEY ALL DIED, INCLUDING THE HOUSEFLY THAT DIDN'T VOTE." The scene includes ants with ballots, a dead cockroach, and a housefly, illustrating the unintended consequences of their decision.

Kavanaugh stops are a terrifying and outrageous assault on the civil rights and equality of American citizens. A new Congress needs to make them explicitly illegal. The radical SCOTUS majority must be impeached, removed, and consigned to the ranks of the most heinous malefactors in our history.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

SeattleSanta @seattlesanta.bsky.social · 14h

The recordings of ICE Gestapo using chemical agents; flash bangs and other non-lethal weapons against NON-violent protesters have resulted in Federal Judges invoking restraints against these tactics.
Any further violence by Federal Agents in Chicago may result in punitive actions; law suits & jail.

Regardless of how you feel about Bari Weiss and her politics, the real story is that she has zero experience and is expected to pull a rabbit out of a hat. It's a complete joke. Her Free Press now is contained in a Paramount jar, all for the price of $150M.
