Incredible stuff here @XfinitySupport. Service out all day, no sign of work being done, no way to reach a human.
The people that operate the tollbooth from Chicago onto the Indiana toll road should be put in prison.
Didn't know that @vrbo had become fully enshittified. Booking added more than a hundred dollars to the charge represented on the final booking page. Can't reach anyone. On minute 25 of a "3-5 minute" wait for a supervisor. Will never, ever use again.

If you're looking for a handy list of Democrats who have no fucking clue what is about to hit and need their spines stiffened ASAP, this is a good place to start.
Weird how Donald the Dove keeps picking national security hardliners who yearn for war with Iran to fill out his team.

Instead of someone “like a Ben Wikler” I would strongly recommend “Ben Wikler”
Watch the race for the next DNC chair. Pramila Jayapal, head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told me she’d “love to see somebody” who is “like a Ben Wikler.”
Other progressives have also floated the Wisconsin Democratic Party leader’s name. politico.com/news/2024/11/10…
A lot of hot takes need to grapple with three facts:
1) that where Ds and Rs both invested hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign ads and turnout, D losses were roughly half where they were elsewhere.
