“When Congress voted” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

No, it really isn’t. That’s a press release. Or the Truth post Trump made.

News filters for worthy events, explains mechanics, and adds other context to help its readers understand why this thing is worth knowing and what it might mean.

So it’s the caviest of caves, without even giving the Democrats anything. Are they worried that they were winning too much?

Yeah, they’ll have to slum it like the people whose communities they occupy instead of getting their preferred pricing at the government-run markets while complaining about socialism and entitled civilians.

Addressing Zhou’s allegations that Renner threatened to call ICE on her, Singer alleges Zhou “had been relentlessly harassing and threatening my client with hundreds of unsolicited and unwanted messages.”

In response to an allegation, something that doesn’t respond to the allegation at all. At least unless “she deserved it” is supposed to be a response to threatening to call ICE on a foreign born person.

Commissaries aren’t troops sole source of food. They’ll just go off-base and slum it with their fellow Americans or have to acknowledge their host cultures overseas.

Not getting paid is a much more serious issue.

Teen Vogue. Which is being shut down, presumably because it did good work.

I’ll add that to my $5,000 DOGE dividend. Why do news outlets report what he says when he’s obviously lying?

There will be no debate. It will be extended until after the election. Democrats will try to make it a campaign issue, but since there will be no shutdown forcing attention, Republicans will just ignore it. Like they did up until the shutdown happened. People may be vaguely worried, but it won’t be a thing that’s happening now so they’ll just assume something will be done, and the extension now will condition them to believe that.

If you think fighting about politics now is not important to the midterms, then demonstrating willingness to open the government and eliminating Republican taking points is also unimportant. However solidifying that Republicans are powerful and Democrats will always roll over is important. Not just for elections, but for standing up against fascism now.

Chuck Schumer is not and has not ever been an electoral genius.

Seems like he was fired for the Islamophobic nature of the comments, not being hyperbolically opposed to Mandami. Or maybe more realistically he was fired for publicly talking back to his boss, regardless of content.

Rules can’t criminalize anything. The thing they’re thinking of is “laws”. Which haven’t changed.

This is not to say they won’t arrest people. It’ll just either be for a law that already existed that we were just assuming they wouldn’t abuse, or it will be an illegal arrest to hopefully be quickly booted from court by a judge.

Also probably lied about how his vehicle got fixed (and possibly destroyed evidence). His official statement contradicted what he told the FBI.

Expiration of the credits is at the end of the calendar year. It hasn’t happened yet.

Closer in an absolute sense, but not in a Price is Right sense. One year brings the subsidies to after the next election, when there’s no active pressure to apply. I don’t know why the Republicans didn’t jump on it immediately, this is a giant gift to them.

A one year extension is after the midterms.

And the supposedly left leaning major party currently runs the government.

They missed the best part:

Defense attorney Sabrina Shroff raised questions about Lairmore’s testimony during her cross examination, The Washington Post reported. She showed the courtroom a photo of the sandwich on the ground, almost entirely in its wrapper, after it struck the CBP agent, according to the Post.

“In fact that sandwich hasn’t exploded at all,” Shroff reportedly said.

Even if we believe this one artist is a complete moron, are we supposed to believe there was no one among the people setting up the parade and float that recognized the words? Or didn’t and did a web search to figure out what the message was?

If he hasn’t crowd funded his legal expenses it’s because he’s actively choosing not to. He could be grifting this so hard.

I keep worrying that he’s going to use authoritarianism and a violation of the rule of law to do good things and people will normalize those things as ok, but he seems devoted to never helping anyone who isn’t rich or armed.
