The statistical agencies all sustained damage from DOGE but they are strong institutions and can recover if they are supported instead of further sabotaged

But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Thanks to the shutdown, we didn't get the first estimate of Q3 GDP today. And private-sector data offer no good substitute for official GDP.
The shutdown offers lots of lessons about what private sector data can and can't do.

I need the Mets to keep this going because, this year, baseball has been the exact right distraction from *gestures at everything* and I don’t know what I’m going to do when their season is over.

It's a mistake to displace one's hopes for a happier future onto a sports team, let alone a notoriously unreliable one. Nevertheless, that is what I've done. Better to think about the race for Mayor, maybe.

As always on this day, I wonder what might’ve been if we’d borne our pain before a world that stood ready to grieve beside us, and refused to beat our plowshares back into swords.

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.
