"Republicans blocked paying the troops during the shutdown but found $20 billion to bail out Argentina's bad crypto investments" should be the sort of thing that leads every local newscast, but...

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

aside from the deep dives TRK is quite literally the only big brother analysis content i consume!!! they’re severely underrated because their takes are incredible but they get lost in the noise of larger platforms. definitely get into them if you haven’t already #bb27

There are all sorts of podcasters out there who review, comment on, and provide updates about Big Brother. Maybe we should lift up some of those folks from time to time. Particularly BIPOC podcasters like @therealitykingdom.bsky.social. I would love to see players from #bb27 do their show.

If this was Teresa, Bravo would make it their MAIN focus to show her Wife Swap show. Bravo is proving AGAIN that if you're Black the consequences are worse #rhop

Multiple housewives had tv shows, multiple seasons filmed, AND were on spinoffs during the court process. One even had a spinoff show while she was in jail.

This is the most Bravo has ever done against a a housewife, mind you, Teresa’s fraud was in the millions.

The overwhelming majority of Americans want Democrats & Republicans to come together to fix this health care crisis & reopen the government. But Republicans need to come to the table—to support furloughed workers, extend ACA tax credits, & stop the skyrocketing premiums crushing working families.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

I am so over the HW jail bird pipeline. It is ruining what used to be a fun series. Somewhere we went more confrontation centered and maybe that is fun, but literally watching someone who has so much education go from being a professor to this is just so disappointing.

I'm a general fan of Wendy. I love her accomplishments. I cannot fathom how she goes from 3 degrees, being a professor, to this. It is so disappointing.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

I can't with all these jail bird HWs tbh. It is embarrassing. The series is like not even fun anymore because every time they start breaking the law it takes it away from what the show was supposed to be. Luxury, that slightly delusional and detached from reality lifestyle. It's not interesting now

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

I swear I got hit with a nasty 1-2 punch this week. Over the weekend I came down with a cold and all the classic symptoms with that only then to get either a stomach bug or straight food poisoning on Tuesday. I'm still decongesting from the cold really so I'm also coughing mucus. 🙃
