Is anyone going to talk about how Bill Pulte got his notoriety by getting into meme stock conspiracy theories that had people lose their shirts buying Bed Bath and beyond stocks right before their bankruptcy and then taking zero responsibility? finance.yahoo.com/news/bill-pu...

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Good riddance to Nico Harrison, the personification of everything that’s going on. Blew up something good because he didn’t understand it and it didn’t conform to his vision of toughness. One of the clearest pictures of Everyone Is 12 Now ever produced. Untold damage to my psyche. Enjoy podcasting.

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

(the polity does not remember what happened 2 weeks ago. this is why you had VA GOP winning 2021 the same year the GOP attempted a insurrection)
If the polity cannot remember what happened two weeks ago, every two weeks, then they deserve to have the Republic fall
OK, well, that's not going to happen. Most people are going to forget about this in a few weeks and move on to the next thing, in the same way that the GOP base has hated Mitch McConnell for a decade but never actually hurt him.

if the Democrats are willing to accept this deal, in particular, i don't think a single Senator should make it through their primary. this just makes health inequity worse and lets Trump send out checks with his name on them!
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

Did mod dems senators learn anything from Neville chamberlain?
Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Refusing to work with Israeli academics means refusing to work with one of the main sources of dissent within Israeli society. To be sure, their views are not uniform, but that is a reason to avoid broad based bans,

In my books, I talk about two pandemics, the real and mirror worlds.

In the mirror world, TV doctors granted themselves super powers to bend the virus to their will.

Now they are experiencing the real world for the first time, this is the result.

The worlds are colliding & it’s bad.
