Senate Democrats who voted to end the shutdown acknowledged that negotiations were going nowhere.
In the end, fatigue and frustration triumphed over anger and anxiety at President Trump.

As I made my way
through the grocery store
I was not surprised to see
they were running low
on potatoes and green beans
on turkeys and cranberries
and as I made my way
past the pharmacy section
I saw they were running low
on Covid/Flu tests
which sadly
did not surprise me either.

The correct and obvious contention that the blanket nature of the pardon was necessary due to the possibility that Trump would unfairly target Hunter and others with kangaroo court indictments was not even considered as within the bounds of acceptable debate.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Op sec for Team Trump: always the same. Communications over GSM phone lines, unencrypted. And this means whoever intercepted the Ushakov-Witkoff conversations has plenty more. Beyond amateurish.

The name "monkeypox" is a misnomer, given because it was first recognized in primates used for research. The animal reservoir is actually thought to be small rodents. The administration just likes the name because it is offensive and triggers the libs. You can't get much more childish than that.
CDC website has been scrubbed of all mentions of "mpox" with everything replaced by "monkeypox," even renaming linked articles in EID.
