Federal election spending by the 100 wealthiest Americans is now 140x what it was in 2000.
Last year they crossed $1 billion in election spending.

The Texans look like an XFL team. How did these ever get past deck presentation, let alone clearance for public consumption.

How do you make this your central demand for 40 days and then just let it go
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:
—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
—Led by King/Shaheen/Hassan

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Good thread here on last night's coverage of the Louisville plane crash.
I know, I know, media is DYING right? But LOCAL media is still out here doing the work, showing up, donning masks to breathe in fewer petroleum fumes and delivering the information our communities need. Allow me to demonstrate.

Just have to keep reminding myself it's just an exhibition. But as great as UK looked last week, they looked really lost tonight, resorting to a lot of desperation threes. Still, we haven't seen this team at full strength, so there's some more magic in store for this season. #bbn

Forty minutes of seeing this message over and over again @espn.com for the UK exhibition. Don't understand why you're pushing games on the apps if the apps don't work.
