What an amazing place - The Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo. Pack crowd for “Ed Wood” and a fun Q&A with Randy Haberkamp. Plus good popcorn, live organ and a sing along! Can’t wait to come back - this is a very cool theater.

There's nothing quite like reading a comic book which is 90% exposition and dialogue, yet at no point is any speaking character depicted with their mouths open or with any kind of expression on their face, and it costs seven dollars.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Maybe I’m late to this realization, but it just hit me…
What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head?
Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

RIP Diane Ladd
If you’ve never seen Wild At Heart by #DavidLynch - now’s the time to see Ladd’s stellar performance.
You can rent it @ Apple, YouTube or Fandango.
Of course, her real life daughter Laura Dern is excellent too + it’s a crazy script - I really love this wild film - see it!
