i obviously support the “primary them all” school of thought but, for the record, it’s going to require a more than that to *get* to the next primary for these people—who i assume took a hit for 2026 cycle dems anyways.
primary them, yes, but these people really shouldn’t be able to eat in public.

Embarrassing. Pathetic.
The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!

Excellent poem. I’m one generation removed, but the aftershocks still ripple.
My grandfather fought in WWI
My father WWII
Both like today’s soldiers
Spat out, traumatised,
No counsel or support
Unable to be decent fathers
And I bitterly resent their sacrifice
Used by MOD & arms makers
To showcase new killing machines
Instead of today’s heroes
Promoting peace & reconciliation

It will be a privilege this #RemembranceDay to stand again for Defence Humanists and @humanists.uk at the cenotaph. I will be thinking of the pity of war, the necessity of peace, of all the brave people who have fought for it whether in uniform or as civilians, and of those who grieve.

Hawaii kicker Kansei Matsuzawa, “The Tokyo Toe”, is now 22/22 on FGs this season. No FBS kicker ever kicked more than 21 in a season and made them all, Cairo Santos went 21/21 for Tulane in 2012. If Matsuzawa stopped now, he would break the FBS single season record for most makes with no misses.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Today’s politics may be confusing, but it’s clear that the Republican Party supports these 2 things:
1. Masked, armed men snatching people off the street because of the color of their skin.
2. The hiding of records to cover up for powerful people who rape children.
