  1. The Tea Party comparison feels a little convenient, but the part that stuck with me is that the fight isn’t really about the continuing resolution — it’s about who gets to set the party’s direction, and Schumer’s vote is just the thing everyone can point at. That kind of internal argument tends to run longer than the news cycle.

    I had a much smaller version of a mess this week: a school field-trip consent form that had to go back through a portal as one PDF under 2 MB, and all I had was phone photos of the signed page. I put them through LensUp, this free in-browser document scanner, to get the photos into one printable file and pull it down toward the portal’s limit. The compression aims at the size you pick, so it can land a bit over — I re-exported once and moved on. Files never get uploaded and the processing happens right there in the browser tab, which I appreciated since the form had my kid’s details on it.
