If lawmakers are going to confront each other in person, maybe they should do it on the floor of the House of Representatives... in debate... with the chamber open for business.

I mean, sure, but the guy being confronted is the guy preventing that.

At the end of Chapter 3 of the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster, and it's remarkable how well they've updated the game while reinforcing what I loved about it at age 12. The voice acting and QOL features make me feel like I'm rediscovering a piece of my childhood rather than viewing a shadow of it.

The problem for the media is that Republicans in Disarray isn't alliterative.

Which is why I'm proud to launch the Scooby Doo's News Crews.

This is the headline and tone Axios usually reserves for anonymous staffers and consultants in Democratic circles. Seems notable.

Putting aside the many reasons they should include it, this is also negotiation 101: don't negotiate against yourself, such as by locking your demand in low when your counterparty refuses to negotiate.

Dems shouldn't take stuff off the table until Trump & GOP are truly negotiating.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 16h

Durbin on whether Democrats can use reining in ICE in Chicago as a precondition to rein in the government says “can’t do that. It’s gotta be health care all the way.”

There remains no reason beyond personal pique and the current Rules package of this particular Congress barring her from being sworn in.

2:15 pm - Speaker Johnson says Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ can be sworn in 'as soon as she wants.'

Two hours later, GOP tells reporters Grijalva won't be sworn in until the government shutdown is over.

If you care about video games and especially JRPGs you owe it to yourself to read this book.

Did you know I wrote a book about the origins of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, console RPGs, and their rise to success in North America?

Aidan Moher's Fight, Magic, Items: The History of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and the Rise of Japanese RPGs in the West is an outstanding exploration of the rise of the genre and how it's shaped popular culture.

Trump is a poster and if there’s one things posters do, it’s make up a guy

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“
