The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

My favourite photo from Cité du Train, Mulhouse, France, because one of the staff opened the door so I didn't have to photograph through glass.

We’ll have a facist regime and be in nuclear alerts and the centrists will still say we should look to Tony Blair for grown up politics

Veterans marched to the Capitol this weekend to remind Congress, service members, and veterans of their oath to the Constitution, which they swore to protect against both foreign and domestic enemies. Let’s stand firm and uphold our values!

We knew this would happen.
Republicans said for months they had plenty of time to figure out what to do about Obamacare subsidies expiring at year’s end. During a 6-week government shutdown that ended last week, they said they’d talk about it after. Now, with five weeks to go before New Year’s, they’re scrambling and divided.
Republicans left the Obamacare cliff to the last minute. Some are regretting it.
GOP lawmakers knew subsidies were expiring and premiums would spike, but no clear, conservative alternative emerged.

i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine
"i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people

Periodic reminder that politicians are supposed to work for us, we should not stan them (this initially typed out as “stab,” which, fair tbh), and we can primary any of them at any election time and they should fear us

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.
