Bari Weiss’s first project for CBS brought in a phenomenal 145 viewers. Love this for her.

I mean, I've learned to not get too worked up, but they sure as hell are acting like they've got something they really, really need to hide

nothing says "we want to end the shutdown" like shutting down Congress for an extra week

given that 86% of DC voters voted in favor of a referendum on statehood, I'd say people in DC disagree with you

aw. so many of your letter-writers have such painful stories, that was just such nice "you got this, go champ"

Abolish ICE, pack the court and DC statehood have to be the bare minimum any Dem candidate runs on.

lol yep. and I was traveling and needed a cap (the exhibit was on alcatraz)

Your Internet Friend Tom Tomorrow @tomtomorrow.bsky.social · 8h

1. obviously none of this would have happened if Dems had won the last election.

2. After the last nine months it is imperative that these be the baseline policy priorities of any Dem running for president.

Italians have long embraced "I'd rather be a pig than a fascist" (from Miyazaki). I think we have found the American variant.

Grudgie the Whale @grudgie.bsky.social · 9h

Honestly think these need to be the symbol of resistance to fascism

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

I had to go back and make sure I wasn't missing something with the Cuomo tweet.

A man who is very definitely in touch with the lives of everyday new yorkers.

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

anyway since we are so far past our initial goal, I have put down a deposit with the printer on my own credit card to get the ball rolling as soon as possible. I AM NOT MAKING ANY PROMISES but this does increase the likelihood of delivery before the holidays.

You will be shocked at how often I seem to be predicting the future we live in, not because I am some genius psychic, but because we all knew where things were headed, a long time ago

I'm excited for this. Reading over all these old cartoons -- I have enough distance on them to say, this is good work and I'm proud of it, and glad it's finally being collected into a new book, even if I had to do all the heavy lifting myself!!

closer and closer ... production and design almost entirely done, with that Zeno's paradox thing of getting to the very end ...

you go out to these protests, it's kids, old folks, grannies, all kinds of people, and they're still going with "professional protesters" which I guess maybe works on the fox news crowd? but nobody else

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
