If this was Biden's private residence during a government shutdown...like, can you imagine the news coverage?

Video of a woman dancing in a giant glass at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago party.

Some MAGA accounts falsely claimed this didn’t actually happen. They are wrong once again.

Trying to conceptualize the media reaction to Joe Biden throwing a party at his home in Delaware, filled with scantily clad gyrating young showgirls, while we were experiencing a government shutdown.

I had no idea it was so hard to get an iron infusion — I was lucky to be given one a few days after my giving birth to my first kid, because I was still in hospital and very anaemic. (It felt almost as rejuvenating as a blood transfusion a year earlier did: it’s magic stuff, truly.)

charlotte @tambourine.bsky.social · 16h

the only reason they ever gave me an iron infusion is that i had endometrial cancer that caused endless bleeding and they were able to give me the infusion during the cancer surgery.
we need easier access to iron.

Tired all the time? There may be a simple reason for that

Levels of fatigue among women in Britain are soaring, and this isn’t the kind that can be cured by a nap. What lies behind the exhaustion epidemic?

Gates has supplied climate deniers with cover for years (presumably unintentionally). His schtick that innovation will solve climate gave them an excuse for inaction, and is just plain wrong.

Bill Gates is just plain wrong about climate change

After 20 years positioning himself as a climate expert, Gates is now making straw man arguments and exposing the 'audacity' of a billionaire who thinks he can lecture the world.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

What are local TV stations saying about Trump's high roller lifestyle (e.g. Lincoln bathroom, Great Gatsby party) vs cutting off the SNAP program? Anything? An honourable mention?

I'm a Dodger fan and can't help but be thrilled that they won. But those Blue Jays were something else and deserve all the kudos. As one wag said on BSky when they beat the Yankees "Any team that beats the Yankees is America's team.If that's the Toronto Blue Jays, so be it. I don't make the rules."

I despise the "distraction" narrative. Trump's videos dumping shit on protesters isn't designed to be a distraction. It's designed to say that he simply does not give a shit about people who are opposed to him, and tells his supporters they don't have to either.
