I could rob Dick Durbin blind if I showed him a 'wallet inspector' badge
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Most of the Senate never got over seeing Reefer Madness back when it came out in the 30s.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Absolutely meaningless. He has the power to stop this. He can let the Democrats who are caving know there will be serious consequences if they go ahead with this. Threaten to kick them off committees. Whatever it takes.
He can stop this and is choosing not to.

Chuck’s about to enact vengeance for Tuesday. “For Andrew and the Baileys,” he whispers to himself as he casts the vote
Senate Democrats are meeting behind closed doors to discuss the emerging deal. “Stay tuned,” Schumer tells us with a grin.

Ok this is officially a thing, call your senator asap and tell them to hold the line
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Seriously, you need to read this. Last Saturday in Echo Park was nuts as cops preemptively invaded the area before the World Series was even over and assaulted people with batons, horses and tear gas. @shoton35mm.bsky.social pieced the violence together in fantastic reporting.
One man who was walking to Gold Room bar had to get surgery on his finger after being shot with a “rubber bullet.”

Doing the thought experiment of "what's the oldest film I've seen in theaters" and I'm fairly sure it's Fatty Arbuckle's The Cook (1918), which I saw as part of a set of silent shorts back at a festival screening in 2008 www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpOL...

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Oh, this is wild.
DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)
So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.
