Manchin - who is a pragmatist first, IMO - can't help them now.

Today is going to be absolutely apeshit back home (DC) - even more than what was anticipated. These results (and it's now presumed Ossoff has won, per the Decision Desk) are going to create an even crazier powder keg. I've told my mother to stay indoors even more than usual, not that they're going out when my parents are late 70s and at risk lol. I still feel we need to re-pack SCOTUS and equalize it. Destroy McConnell's crowning achievement. Let him take that taste of ashes to the grave. We also need to push out the 2K checks. So much to do. Joe needs to know this is his hour to be bold in the twilight of his career. Like FDR, this is what he will be remembered for.

I remember those campaign ads Warnock did out walking his dog. Meanwhile, the GOP pulled out all the same tricks - trying to pull a Rev. Wright on him, then darkening his skin in ads. Pathetic.

One of the best things about this victory is going to be the Beltway press' heartbreak over ending the age of stories of super-savvy McConnell and the GOP, always the assumed responsible victors.

We did it, bitches!

I think we have as good a shot as we're going to get. If we don't get 'em, nothing changes for me. But it's a good fight nonetheless.

That Carrie Nye story was a blatant ripoff of Peter Straub's Ghost Story both times, so I can't take it seriously tbh.

Judging by the text of the TMZ notice, I hope it's not some sort of life support situation but it could well be. In the meantime, now is as a good a moment as any to post this amusing montage of her in That 70s Show. She turned into a pretty funny chick as she got older:

Oh dear.

A Trump appointee:

A very mediocre tenure, sadly.

As @Khanreminded me, black-ish leaned in on using COVID in story. So has The Conners, and both shows made it pay off for them dramatically as well as in some ways comedically. It's a shame soaps in this country won't, but Emmerdale did it right.

AFAIC it's a disgrace how American soaps have largely ignored COVID-19. I think it's the medium's responsibility to educate and empathize with the public in real time and it's a feature daily soaps can cover like no other television. I know there's a lot of people who say "oh, I don't want to watch that when I turn on TV" - well, too bad. As Jamey Giddens said, Agnes Nixon would've done it and Emmerdale was right to do it. Lovely speech.
