We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements.
Over and over and over.

An absolute honor to be recognized alongside amazing military reporters and editors. Thank you to @Milreporters for the recognition. And thank you to followers of my blog, Charlotte’s Web Thoughts, for supporting my work. I have the best job in the world.
I'll tell ya what: nothing says Democratic Party and progressive movement like having a major election night victory across the board and then spending the rest of the week viciously arguing with each over what it means. 😂
I mean… this really is some crazy shit. Trump is using our money to bail out the Argentinian government while taking health care away from tens of millions of Americans.

NEW: Republicans went all in on anti-trans messaging for the 2025 election, inspired by Trump’s “Kamala is for they/them” ad
It didn’t work — and now they’re trying to figure out why
Democrats, meanwhile, learned how to respond to this messaging

Man just watched his wife become the first woman elected governor in the history of Virginia going back to the 1600s...
...predating this whole damn country...
...in FRONT of his THREE daughters.
I see nothing but love & pride from a grown man here. 🤷🏾♂️
It's been 46 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.
Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

You’ve had {checks notes} FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS to come up with an alternative and you haven’t. Stop making Americans suffer because you’re incompetent.
We should not be made to continue flooding health insurance companies with taxpayer dollars under Obamacare as the price to open up the government.
I find Senator Schumer’s demands ridiculous and equivalent to political hostage taking to continue bad policy.
Under Obamacare, health insurance companies’ average weighted stock prices have exploded – a more than 1000% increase – because they’re the biggest winners of Obamacare. In 2010, President Obama promised that healthcare premiums would go down by $2500 per family. To the contrary, from 2013-2019 premiums under Obamacare increased over 100% with no end in sight.
Therefore, my no vote will be an unequivocal rejection of Senator Schumer’s very bad idea.

I guess I’m confused as to why this isn’t a big deal? Like if he’s jet lagged that’s fine but he should just say so and take a nap on the couch? But it is otherwise very odd for a high official to be asleep and no one even mentions it?

I was in the suite next to the Gores. I will never forget the elation when they called Florida for us and the despair when they took it back.
What a great effort! Thanks for doing this, @CompassCoffeeDC!
Today, I'm launching the Fuel the Federal Workforce Fund: Starting now (11/6), any furloughed federal employee can visit our cafés in DC, VA, or MD for a free daily coffee and pasty —just show your valid ID.
@CompassCoffeeDC is funding the first days, but to sustain it, I need your help. Every donation keeps them caffeinated and supported: compasscoffee.com/products/h…
I've always believed in service—whether in uniform or behind the counter. We've poured hundreds of thousands of cups for the federal workforce that keeps our nation moving, and now, in these tough times, I'm proud to step up for our furloughed feds.
Service means showing up when it counts. Let's keep DC running together! ☕🇺🇸

Thank you for standing up for Teen Vogue and the many, many women of color who were laid off @JakeLahut
Jake Lahut, a Wired reporter who from the Nancy Mace airport story last week, was among those fired.
During the incident, CN's HR chief asked staff not to congregate outside his office. Lahut asked "what's your definition of congregating?" and was let go later that day.

25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.

A new Impact Research poll shows @jamestalarico now leading the Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate against Allred by a 48% to 42% margin (+6). That is a 36 point swing since August. James is unstoppable and insanely popular. He is the future of the party.
