at this point I just want this wretched process to be over washingtonpost.com/politics/biden…
the amount of time wasted on pretend objections and senators peacocking before the Playbook set is beyond belief. a functioning political party could have hammered out an agreement in a week, month tops

absolutely incredible sub-plot in the VA gov race. lady in the latest Youngkin ad *told WaPo* that her son was so triggered by a Toni Morrison book that he had night terrors and she tried to get the school to ban it

the Dem child care bill would *deliberately* aim an economic cruise missile at middle and upper-middle class parents for the next two consecutive elections peoplespolicyproject.org/2021/10/20/dem…
good news though. I recently commissioned a poll on whether it's good for families making 100.01% of median income should see their child care bill increase by 13 grand next year, and 57 percent of Americans said "what? can you repeat the question"

Menendez is comically corrupt even by American standards and the party could have ditched him years ago
politico.com/states/new-jer…
what happened was Menendez took $600,000 in bribes to help a crooked doctor defraud Medicare. he almost got convicted too, which the Supreme Court has made near impossible cnn.com/2017/11/16/pol…

turns out AT&T virtually created OAN and provides it with nearly all its revenue reuters.com/investigates/s…
"Ninety percent of OAN’s revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV" reuters.com/investigates/s…
