It would be so much easier for me to make the "Christmas Magic" happen if everyone would just freaking zip it and get on board with the plan.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

If the sky

Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains
Should crumble to the sea
I won't cry
I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long
As you stand
Stand by me

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

Let's just admit that no one is going to be super productive for the next 3 weeks at work. We're all just half-assing it from now until Christmas.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.
But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.
You can’t negotiate with people like that.

There’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that ICE deported a man in a persistent vegetative state
Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline
He died shortly after being deported to Cuba

“They were careless people,” Fitzgerald wrote, “they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

40% of households relying on SNAP have kids
People are quick to blame the parents
It’s not the parent’s fault that 1 in 8 Americans are forced to rely on SNAP
It’s a systemic failure
Blaming the parents is just a different way of saying you’re fine if kids starve
