Knitters and crocheters are freaking rebels and I don't mean the pink hats. It's a tight, hard working community and a new generation is taking the craft forward.

There's zero public good in trying to ban future state tax in any category, period, end. Plus, the spend on the GOP will dwarf whatever cred he thinks he's getting with the super rich. I wish some scandal would come out that tanks him as a candidate for Prez (I know, didn't sink Trxmp, but still).

Whose husband remains a partner at a firm that capitulated to Trxmp in days? Who just bought an $8M Malibu house to relate to the working poor? Come on. Let it go. I liked and supported her in '24 but no.

Hope so!! What brings you to that conclusion? ICE in Minneapolis? GOP staying home? That poll is an outlier? I don't know much about MN other than Minneapolis uniting Minnesotans had a lasting impact. I have family in a deep red rural area.

Don’t just ask, “Did you vote?” Ask, “Who are you bringing with you?” Check your voter status, make your plan, then check on your people. Who can you help get to the polls? Check your voter status and make sure your information is up to date: blackvotersmatterfund.org/vote

I am really not convinced that Dems are gonna flip the Senate and if they do, the margin will fall way short of what's needed. Whatever happens, we cannot afford to position Fetterman as a consequential up or down vote for the next 2 years.

Respectfully, this is a non-story. You're replaying old hits going back to Trxmp 1.0. Stop already with the GOP hypocrisy articles; anyone reading MJ is well aware. I just resubscribed with you guys. Don't make me regret it.

Good perspective. I saw NYPD response in the 2020 BLM protests and it wasn't pretty (side note: big 2020 question, does one wear a mask to outdoor protests?). If someone experienced says today's response is less extreme, I'm thankful our protesters aren't just shackled and tossed in police vehicles.

"For months" might include, oh I don't know, this year's 2 high profile killings in Minneapolis and the trauma of using a 5 year old boy as bait to lure his dad into custody (and worse after that). How does he put these statements out with a straight face?

While I appreciate the sincerity of your post, it's unclear to me why Buttigieg, a seemingly cautious soul, would take a chance on the piano option given the situation arising in Coyote vs Acme.

I'm gonna guess that's one job he does NOT want. There's no indication that his life ambition is to serve as cat-herder for a fractured party in a close majority/minority Senate.

Until Yankee fans stop buying tickets and merch, the team can stay meh with a meh manager. Business is fine if they limp into the playoffs and get dusted by the division series. For management change it will take fans shutting off the wallets or repeat playoff misses. I feel bad for Judge.

Even those of us who despise McConnell would not dispute that he had a brain, which he used daily to grab and consolidate power at every opportunity, and that his malevolent brain is gone. As Tillis will soon be gone from public life.

Are older voters in Maine unable to think about anything? Will Collins survive just because she's not new to older folks? If Senate control hinges on people like this making time and effort to vote with no concern for national results or their own financial safety, game over.

Rogan is almost, kinda, interesting. The day will come when he's seen as old, out of touch. He clearly loves being feted by the GOP but he does appear to listen to the guests unlike, say, Tucker. For now, Rogan's a platform worth using for any candidate, either party.

I simply refuse to accept that this is the price a woman pays for stepping out of her dorm room. What's horrific is that Trxmp wasn't disqualified in 2016 after the Access Hollywood thing. Voters shrugged it off. Twice.

Another excellent editorial from the ironically named Cornell Daily Sun (sun ain't daily in Ithaca). This time, we see a re-opening of a 2024 case of alleged brutal sexual assault. Kotlikoff and the Trustees are obligated to pursue this far further than they've done to date.

Billionaires don't care, they can't spend all their money in a lifetime. You know what they care about? Jail. Moth-eaten bedding, dank windowless cells and barely edible food. They build bunkers to escape jail. Our job is to make sure criminal billionaires get what they deserve: jail.

We should try having some group of people who get to vote on approving agency heads like OMB director.

Sen. Susan Collins

@SenatorCollins
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse. 
 
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.  
  
Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
 
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
 
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

Plenty of people say voting does nothing (thankfully very few who read my stuff). The infallible response is below ⤵️. Today, SCOTUS acted to disenfranchise more voters. No process or oral arguments. Please remind any folks in your life who are unhappy, but discouraged, that their vote is power.
