BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

I hate it when we start by circulating Republicans' lies first, operating in their frame.

So I edited this to help Bernie make his point first.

Putin's advisor Ushakov complains that Ukraine isn’t ready for peace or to advance the so-called Anchorage agreements. He says people need to be "convinced to fight for agreements" but admits no one is buying it. He also claims Europe's unity against Russia is rooted in hatred.

His biggest rages and missteps are a byproduct of his insecurities, where he proves he's incompetent and stupid.
He's the George Costanza of presidents.

Our country is being run by evil men. But also very stupid and incompetent ones.

I knew a thief that was paranoid everyone was stealing from him.
I've known scammers/con-artists who are convinced others are doing it to them.
This man is that personified!
Always projecting a lack of trust because he's a shitbag with no moral compass or impulse control.

I glad to see the possibility of a bicycle friendly Mayor of NYC.

Rudy Giuliani (who started Vision Zero), Michael Bloomberg, Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams did little to bring down bicyclist deaths.

My daughter Robyn made a special trip to get their helmet, it did not save their life!
