Tonight, I am voting no on a procedural vote on an appropriations deal that would re-open the government. Since July, I have been clear: to earn my vote, Republicans would have to do something to bring down the cost of health care for working and middle-class Michiganders. (1/4)

A 50 year mortgage is just...renting? You will NEVER own your home? Instead of addressing the causes of affordability we are just going to kick the can down the road. Makes perfect sense. Can I interest you in a 15 year car loan as well?

@nzorach.bsky.social I have been meaning to ask your thoughts on Abundance if you've read it. Or if you have blogged about it feel free to point me there as well.

Trump: You take a little glass of water and you drop it on magnets. I don't know what's going to happen.

Interesting. I have been pleasantly surprised by the State News since I've been back in MI.

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

Streaming is so frustrating. Subscribing to dozens of platforms and still don't have the one that has the show you want to see. Can we just go back to the old days now.

This war has been terrible for Israel's image
For the first time in polling history, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians over Israelis.

And the shift just isn’t with Democrats.

Younger Republicans — those under 50 — are 41 points less likely than older Republicans to side with Israelis.

It's "mahs-coe" Idaho not "mahs-cow"

And it's

"Boy-see" not "boy-zee"
What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Someone who used to work with Katie Porter sent me this clip from a train wreck interview with her and said “now imagine what she’s like when there aren’t cameras around.”
