After yesterday's surge we've almost filled up the (first?) #DOOP starter pack. If we keep getting waves of people, I'll start a 2nd!

I did go through and remove some of the national soccer media to make room, I'll start a second list for that if people are interested

5 different seeds still available for Nashville is wild

Mike Anderson @vumander.bsky.social · 9h

With tonight's results, the Union can not see Messi until the ECF. Miami and Cincy will be the 2/3.

Nashville, Orlando, Chicago, Columbus are still in play for the 8/9 matchup

Charlotte, NYCFC, Nashville are the potential round 2 opponents

Many people are saying this play broke Penn State football. They haven't been the same since

Penn State football hasn't been the same since Villanova walked off on them. Many people are saying

I hit up the place from this episode when I went down for a Phillies/Union weekend. That shit was so good

last estimate I saw was like $30-40k per space on average to build a parking garage. That's 41-55 years worth of daily $2 parking.

I tend to agree with SEPTA on this one

Begging a journalist to ask Trump what price you'd expect to pay on a $100 item if the price went down 1,000%

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "Drug prices are going to be going down 100%, 400%, 600%, 1,000% in some cases."

Also that Fentanyl probably doesn't taste anywhere near as good as it did when they used to slice it in store.

lmao yeah, it's a democrat shut down.

Aaron Fritschner @fritschner.bsky.social · 1d

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

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

ok, here's DJT on the rare earth export controls that China has proposed. sorry for sharing tr*th s*cial posts, but apparently that's how us policy gets done this administration.

Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would “clog” the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especially for China. We have been contacted by other Countries who are extremely angry at this great Trade hostility, which came out of nowhere. Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that they’ve been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right! There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World “captive,” but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the “Magnets” and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least. But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China’s. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW! The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so. The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate in that this was the Day that, after three thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there is PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST....

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Trump has less than 40% approval and Republicans have convinced themselves you need to pay people to protest his policies

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
