So, we're doing Pie Discourse today?

Put me down for Key Lime first and foremost, and then take your pick of Pecan, Lemon Meringue, Cherry, Strawberry Rhubarb, Dutch Apple, and/or Maine Blueberry.

On the savory side, I love a good Tortiere.

The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Use Rule IX for an impeachment vote. When it fails, do it again. And again. And again. Deny every unanimous consent. Appeal every point of order including ones you just made up. Make every vote be recorded. Be unruly and disorderly. Call Johnson a scumbag traitor on the floor, and then keep going.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is

NYT: but her emails
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

If Chuck Schumer coached the 2014 Seattle Seahawks, 2nd and Goal from the 1, 26 seconds left in the 4th, down by a score, he wouldn't have had Russ pass *or* Marshawn run the ball; he'd've knelt.

Then. Don't. Let. The. Bill. Reach. The. Senate. Floor.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Schumer needs to resign and Hochul needs to appoint Brad Lander to his seat.
Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

I did not grasp how bonkers Canadians are.

One news outlet likened the game conditions to a "snowglobe."

Crews took an hour during the game to clear snow.

"On over hour delay allowed the field crews to clear the pitch, using soccer’s answer to a Zamboni, to more playable conditions."
The CPL Final is in the middle of a snowstorm in Canada, true North American soccer heritage...how could it get any better?

HOW ABOUT A FREAKIN' BICYCLE KICK EQUALIZER!!!

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

“They promised to hold a meaningless vote on ACA subsidies, and because they took an oath to the Constitution as federal wallet inspectors, I know they will keep that promise.”
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Don't be stupid, be a smarty...
I don't know, I think publicly yelling at the Senate GOP to do the one thing they absolutely won't do for you will only make you look more impotent.
