I've never shipped something harder.
Last month, former ‘Good Morning America’ hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes got married. Now their ex-spouses are engaged to each other. thecut.com/article/andrew-sh…

If you care about finally getting a handle on data centers, passing BAJAA is a no-brainer. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I have a lot of respect for @RoKhanna , but I want to make two points: First, why the line of attack he’s pushing here is wrong on the merits, and second, why it would be a big strategic blunder for Democrats to validate it. 🧵

There are trade-offs inherent in every policy decision and the people pretending that there aren't are not being on the level. Congress can do something about data centers AND unleash a torrent of clean energy right after the election. They'd be foolish not to! wordsinsearchlight.org/p/con…

This really gets at the heart of it: for the better part of a generation, the American people simply have not been getting the government they vote for—for better or for worse. This in particular has caused Republicans to adopt increasingly more extreme policy stances because they know they'll never be in a place where they're held accountable by voters. The filibuster protects them from that. Reforming the filibuster won't solve all of the problems in our government, but from reining in an out of control executive to placing a check on the imperial Supreme Court to actually passing legislation that will have a tangible impact on people's lives (without having to contort itself through the asinine reconciliation process), it will go a pretty long way!
Perhaps the single strongest argument to ending the filibuster, imo, is this. Yes, it would surely result in much more partisan legislation on both sides, for good and ill. But at least the American people would get what they voted for.

It’s really a question of whether you want the data center buildout to continue unabated foreseeably OR if you actually want to put the first ever federal guardrails on how they’re built and consume energy. If you’re into the latter, then BAJAA is the only game in town. 😎
It would be tone deaf if Congress makes it easier to build data centers right after an election with bipartisan rage against shoving them down the throats of local communities.

Citizens of the NFC EAST: There is an Etsy witch who must be found and captured. Believe nothing she says. She is evil. Responsible for the mutilation of three storied football teams (and also the cowboys). Find her. Capture her. Bring her to me!
#Commanders WR Terry McLaurin, who was carted off in an air cast last night against the #49ers, is feared to have suffered a serious and season-ending knee injury. He’ll have an MRI today.
