Question for elected Democrats: If Dems take Congress, realistically how long before ACA subsidies are restored (if at all)? Many of us are making decisions about health insurance next year and it would be helpful to know what to expect. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social

If you're in these 3 states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Alaska Rhode Island South Carolina Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check everything is in order. Do it now. And there's a lot to vote for across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

I do not care for the rehabilitation of Curtis Sliwa, a lunatic vigilante, as just a cute little New Yawk guy, not just because of his personal politics, but because it’s rewarding his attention-seeking behavior

I was on a Zoom vigil with an anti-death penalty organization as everyone was waiting word on if she'd been executed, and they were stunned when the first statement came out about what happened. Said they'd never heard of anything this crazy happening, even among botched executions.

Been on an online vigil for a woman being executed in TN tonight, and after 2 hrs of silence it comes out that they've botched the execution. Absolute incompetent bloodthirsty idiots. Hoping against hope that she isn't suffering. Naturally SCOTUS is culpable too. www.tennessean.com/story/news/c...

Just a regular reminder that 51% of accounts online are bots. And a portion of the remainder are troll farms running sock puppet accounts. Save your energy and don’t argue with these people because they are not people. They are there to propagandize you or to grift. Or both.

But couldn't the GOP potentially lose their supermajority in one of these states (due to seat flips, party defections, sickness/death of GOP reps) during the course of a Dem governorship?

Have you knocked on doors and talked to potential voters? My experience is many are not deeply ideological and you never know what the motivating issue will be for them. If someone expresses interest in health or say pollution, it makes sense to discuss how Dems are leading on those issues.

I've been lurking on a "holistic" FB group full of crazy MAHAs, but it's pretty clear that there is a huge spectrum of people there. They are not all card carrying members of some movement, and it makes sense to try picking a few off the margins because the margins are where we win elections.

Heads up, transit nerds. I have to recommend this Metroboard from the Design Rules Company. They have them for multiple cities. I'm obsessed with my NYC one. It shows real time subway train activity. It's a little pricey and you may have to wait awhile for delivery, but it's worth it.

I can't remember the full story, but I read something about how that character was initially supposed to be relatively minor, but the part ended up being expanded, and they probably wouldn't have cast him if they knew that at the beginning.

Saw Coyote vs ACME yesterday and absolutely loved it. If you are a Looney Tunes fan, you're going to be delighted. It's a bit like Roger Rabbit, where the toons exist in the human world. I can't believe Warner Bros. tried to nix this film.

'90s teen here. In my school, the "cliques" were mostly just small friend groups, there was a bigger popular kid clique but many of them were both nice and smart, some nerdy kids were picked on but not stuffed into lockers. Most accurate trope by far were the band geeks.

Israeli settlers are raging out of control on the West Bank, and Gaza is an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe. Could the Israeli election in October change this? My take: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/o...

If Netanyahu is ousted in October’s balloting, don’t expect peace to break out, but the worst violence might be reined in.

The idea that something so silly could affect the outcome of an election is crazy-making. Anyone who's had to spend Thanksgiving with anti-immigrant rhetoric spewing MAGA relatives has surely wished it was canceled.

On paper I agree she's a bit young, but I think we're living in a moment where the old rules don't apply and we need to have a more holistic view on what makes a strong candidate. I'm looking forward to a good primary - they can all make their case and we'll see who energizes voters.

Yup. If we listen to those people, there will NEVER be a "right time" for a woman. The country does not magically become more progressive on its own - we must insist on it and push it forward. And AOC just so happens to be a generational talent that we shouldn't squander.

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.
