Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

And the thing is, even if the Senate does vote on subsidies (big if), Johnson and Trump will never allow a vote in the House. They’ll likely laugh themselves sick on Fox at how stupid the Dems are. Again.
If these 8 democrats do this, I hope they experience the most miserable primary campaigns in history www.politico.com/live-updates...

Zohran’s win showed that the establishment’s grip is loosening. If this is the way they want to cement their removal in history, so be it. It’s unfortunate that so many people will suffer as a result of their cowardice. We demand new, young, leaders who aren’t afraid to continue to fight for us!
If Dems cave on the mere PROMISE of a vote, those Dems that cave will need to be run out of office, primary the fuck out of them and LEADERSHIP for not being able to fucking lead. This is getting stupid with these constant losses because of shit leadership.

If true, it validates the GOP strategy: refuse to negotiate; send the House on vacation for 7 weeks; illegally starve SNAP recipients; & fire federal workers. And it puts blame for the shutdown on Dems, because it shows the GOP was right when they said Dems could unilaterally end it. Total disaster.

It’s 7 and no kids have shown up. I have set up the front porch to be all Halloween-y and inviting. So when I am forced to house an entire bag of fun-sized Snickers, no guilt. I tried.

"Sliding Doors" thought experiment: if the other woman had not competed that day (had the flu, went to another school, etc.), and Gaines had instead come in fifth by herself, what would she be doing with her life now?
And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job
Gaines: I want to challenge AOC to a debate.

"Tearing down the White House and replacing it with a facsimile of Mar-a-Lago isn’t any less appalling because Trump cajoled companies into paying for it. Indeed, it might be worse. Funding a pet project via the coercion of private donors creates a closed loop and complete lack of accountability."

The East Wing was historically the realm of the First Lady. This tells you what he thinks of those contributions, and I haven’t heard where those offices will be moved. I guess Melania will need to design horrific Xmas decorations elsewhere.

Part of the point of physical fitness requirements for law enforcement is so they can protect themselves. I could see an unfit agent getting into a tussle with an even averagely fit "suspect" and losing. Then comes the calls for more lethal ways to deal with immigrant "monsters."
They can't do 15 pushups or 32 sit-ups?
Wow. Sad.
On the other hand, ICE how has chemical weapons.
So there's that.

Patiently waiting for my DOGE dividend check or a Trump Tariff rebate… or maybe just an explanation of where that $18 trillion Trump keeps mentioning went. At some point we have to admit this entire White House is a scam.

And if said presidents of parliaments don't agree to nominate my master, we'll tariff them into the Stone Age.
Johnson: "Together with my friend Speaker Ohana of the Israeli Knesset we're going to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so we will jointly nominate President Donald J Trump for next year's Nobel Prize. No one has ever deserved that prize more & that is an objective fact."
