a beautiful portal of discover from Beth Kanter! "I am shocked when my Bubbe Sarah sits down across from me at the Shalimar Diner not because she died in 1991, and not because the Rego Park restaurant never re-opened after the Covid shut down, but..." https://www.havehashad.com/mjnr8

Did you know that if you buy my book on Amazon, Jeff Bezos makes 5 times as much as I do on each copy sold? Sharing some behind-the-scenes book math on why buying directly from presses is best for EVERYONE (except Bezos) in my newsletter today! aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/book-math

My vote is an unequivocal no. This bill lacks decency and good old fashioned common sense. Read a book or a Bible and you’ll know how this turns out.

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.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

We have traded in our Constitutional freedom for...grocery stores without a single egg for sale.

It just gets grosser and grosser.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · last yr.

We fight on all fronts. Republicans are trying to pass another resolution blaming the country’s problems on gay and transgender kids and drag shows. To distract from measles outbreaks, rising costs, and the stock market crash. I’m on the Senate floor now to stop it.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Sadly in addition to the snowplow that Elon and the Felon are driving over our Constitution, those who were suffering financially before the election will suffer even more. Thanks @vanhollen.senate.gov for speaking up. More of this, please.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · last yr.

Trump promised to lower prices on day one, but costs have only gone up. It's Donald Trump's Great Betrayal and the American people won't stand for it.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

The only guarantee that we will fail at the task before us is if we don't attempt it.
