Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
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.

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

This corporate vs citizens conflict is, to me, the most important theme of 2025 and beyond.
Pushing back against the extortion and exploitation of corporate profit-interests is the People’s fight

trump's effort to sway voters by threatening them if they don't elect the candidate he prefers has been notably ineffective. voters just get mad and say, "fuck off, bully."
as opposed to his efforts to threaten corporations, media orgs, universities, and elites, all of whom tend to cave instantly.

Alright. Ally @cowboylikeally.swifties.social gave me track 10. It was kinda tough because I apparently like track 9’s or 11’s more frequently.
Here’s my picks!
Reply and I’ll give you a track number! [f(X)=all real integers, domain (1,~50)]

God I miss Quiznos. I really need a sandwich now. Not jimmy johns though. Bleh.
Assault now. Injury, government says, isn’t the layman’s definition but the legal one. “Hit with a sandwich. Having a sandwich spiked on your chest. Is that offensive to a person of reasonable sensibilities? Certainly. We have an assault.”

Closing arguments begin. The government says, “Everyone has a right to their personal beliefs…However, that does not give them the right to touch another person, to strike another person, even with a sandwich.”

Everything we’re fighting against as citizens, from now until whenever, centers around protecting the public against corporate exploitation and ultimately extortion. The theme of harm to public welfare for the sake of corporate profits has to end.

*butterfly meme* is this impeachable?
On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

This is exactly the point
the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
