@InlandCaGuy 100% But I still get random texts from them all the time. That may be a specifically Android problem.

"Should pedophile and convicted felon Donald Trump cowardly shutdown the government and shoot a puppy?" Or "Should pedophile and convicted felon Donald Trump atone for his sins by not shutting down the government and shooting a puppy?" Please give my polling firm $1 million
Echelon Insights@EchelonInsights

After being given additional context, voters overwhelmingly said Democrats should not withhold votes to fund the government. The one group that disagreed with this is Democrats, who narrowly supported withholding votes and shutting down the government by a two-point margin.

Great that Vought is outright saying that his stated reason for cutting off funds is completely pretextual! It would be wonderful is some reporters were willing to ask him about that and point out the obvious shakedown he is attempting.
Andrew Desiderio@AndrewDesiderio

Thune when asked if this is appropriate: “Vote to open up the government, that issue goes away, right? It’s pretty straightforward. I’m not controlling what they’re gonna do. They’re gonna manage the shutdown. This is the game that Democrats are playing and they know it.”

Don't weep for him: this existence is significantly more dignified than serving in the Trump administration. This is actually the kindest thing.

E. J. Antoni's nomination was withdrawn so he will return to conservative shelter the Heritage Foundation where he will serve as "chief economist," subsisting on rats he can catch and sheltering from the elements under their 5 story Charlie Kirk banner. nytimes.com/2025/09/30/bus…

The rise of AI chatbots have made customer service for major companies somehow even worse than before. This is probably an area where banning the use of generative AI would be popular and a net benefit to the economy because it would free up a bunch of wasted time.

The downside here is that legitimate cases will be endlessly bogged down by this. A law which would have made it even harder to bring Trump to justice for his crimes seems like a nonstarter.
Sam Stein@samstein

SCOOPLET: Sen. Blumenthal and Rep. Goldman are introducing legislation designed to protect against future political prosecutions. It won't become law. But easy to see this as a template for the party going forward. thebulwark.com/p/trumps-ai-br…

Did he do something illegal? Like accepting a bag of money from the FBI on camera in a bribery scheme?

@RuNoseP I get why people were hesitant to label it as such in like November 2023, but the writing has been on the wall for a long time now!

@VibesBankRate its so strange that people still try to deny that its a genocide. even ignoring what the UN and basically every human rights orgs have been saying, Israel themselves are barely even trying to hide their intentions anymore

@cowboy_postbop Your pathetic "distractions" are when you talk about what policies might solve a problem. My noble politics is when I tell you who to blame for all of the problems.

The dynamics now are different. Schumer seems to understand how angry the base was over the previous capitulation and is carefully trying to maintain his own position. A shutdown will be painful but won't destroy the global economy. The risk of getting blamed is just lower.

I was upset at the time with moderate Dems for caving on the debt ceiling fight, but in retrospect I think that was probably the right call politically. A default would have had massive economic consequences and would have been easy to pin on Dems.
