When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

NOW: Almost 100 people are outside the home of @schumer.senate.gov calling on him to vote NO on cloture and NO on the disastrous Trump-Musk budget

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Here I am, a factory worker enjoying his lunch in the North End of Boston on January 15, 1919. I’ve survived the influenza pandemic, I’m feeling good about life, and I’ve never been more confident I will not be swallowed up by a flood of liquid sugarcane extract

Spent the morning shoveling snow with my kid. We talked about how--because the world is increasingly stupid, unkind, and selfish--we need to work hard at being curious, kind, and helpful to others. Even if we're just starting with shoveling the walk for our community.

I have a sports metaphor story for this! I have a younger brother who was a very competitive baseball player as a kid. Was on all the local travel & developmental squads. One of his coaches had a very interesting and counterintuitive (to me) philosophy of the game, as it was played at that level.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Paris vows to ban parking near its 40,000 crosswalks, a measure for better visibility also known as daylighting, by the end of 2025. NYC aims to daylight 1,000 intersection corners each year, a rate at which it would take about 40 years to implement citywide. www.leparisien.fr/paris-75/par...
