“Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon on Wednesday that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor & strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself.”

I wonder if the kids even know about this “pushback” or they’re just blissfully enjoying finally being left alone by their adult children parents.

Nobody saw this coming after all, there just isn’t time!
UPDATE: Susan Collins after meeting says goal is to announce a plan, with vote next year to restore expiring subsidies. She said it’s too late to get a bill signed before end of the year.

A modern day Paul Revere, I’ve been to at least 5 of these Dunks.
i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

Let me tell you what I’ve seen of the Somali community in Maine.
My Somali neighbors are people with deep faith, families they cherish & determination to secure a better future for their children and grandchildren, much like every immigrant who came before them.

Somalis are not 'garbage,' President Trump | Column
President Trump doesn't know what he's talking about. This makes yesterday's comments all the more repugnant.

Don’t listen to the haters of BlueSky who love to be too cool for everything - “The American Revolution” is another triumph from Ken Burns that deserves our time - and @npr.org funding.

Speechless that this is what it was all for. A promise of a future vote that will fail.

Thisclose to turning around on 38 years of fandom and rooting for Tampa every time I see Portnoy in the box next to Kraft yucking it up.

There's been a lot of crowing that the House has "done its job" by passing a bill, but the job is actually making law, not passing one-chamber bills. The word Congress means "come together" in Latin. Congress is failing to Congress.

Seems bad. I’d feel bad if I voted for this or was a member of the party that (all but one since excommunicated member) unanimously voted for this in Congress.
Window shopping for 2026 ACA marketplace plans is open for almost all states, and open enrollment is only days away. Millions of marketplace enrollees are seeing 2026 premiums spike due to expiring premium tax credits. See our paper with state-level estimates: tinyurl.com/zndd97k7

I’ve watched every Celtics game for years now - but I’m just going to opt out of tonight’s Amazon Prime game.
Liverpool is bad enough, but I’m never watching my favorite team on streaming. No thanks. Opt-out.

Can’t believe I have to say this but *countries* don’t import beef. Individuals and businesses do. In a free country, there is no way to mandate the quadrupling of a particular foodstuff import.
lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

This is what the OBBB is doing right now to tens of thousands of Mainers all over the state, and it’s only going to get to get worse.
Huge premium spikes in Maine, where 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping is now underway. Because of expiring tax credit enhancements, a typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Maine is looking at a $28,900 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

Obviously, one of my favorite Celtics memes of all time. But this also succinctly sums up how essential Big Al has been to the last decade of success for Boston.
